Abstract:

Malnutrition during childhood remains a major global public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. In Ayurveda, childhood malnutrition is described under conditions such as Balashosha, Karshya, and Shosha. Classical Ayurvedic texts identify Balashosha as a Dhatukshayajanya Vyadhi, caused primarily by Agnimandya, leading to improper nourishment of Rasa and subsequent Dhatus. This condition not only hampers physical growth but also weakens immunity, making children vulnerable to recurrent infections. The present paper aims to review Balashosha from an Ayurvedic perspective, correlate it with modern nutritional disorders, and discuss holistic Ayurvedic management strategies including Ahar, Aushadha, Rasayana, and preventive measures.

Keywords:

Balashosha, Childhood malnutrition, Agnimandya, Rasayana, Ayurveda.
