Treatment: Ayurvedic Cure for Chikungunya?
With the virus now in Europe, mainly in Italy, Chikungunia is gaining fast attention around the world. On the treatments front, Ayurveda has been doing wonders in the treatment of Chikunguya (commonly mispelt as Chikungunia).If you already know about the treatments of this disease, you will know that there is not such thing as a proper cure or treatment for this disease.
Recently it was discovered that Triphala, an ayurvedic composition of 3 fruits namely Harada(haritaki), Amla(amalaki) and Behada(bibhitaki) is a good medicine for Chikungunya. Also powdered Sunflower seed taken along with honey is a good supplement precribed by the Ayurvedic docters at my place in Cochin, India. This mixture must be taken about 3 times a day along with your regular medicines to gain relief from joint pains which is a major after effect of this illness.
Drinking loads of water will also help in reducing the pain and suffering from this disease.
We will keep you updated with the effects, treatments, cure and more on Chikungunya 
Till then, take care!

I have picked up this virus at the end of December 2007 in South Africa, and my medical doctor tells me I am the second patient within a week he has seen with this fever.
It is an inconvenient desease, and I have had it for almost 2 months now. It appears to come and go (headaches, upper body aches and pains, but most importantly, the joint aches (I suppose much like gout or arthritis)).
Medicines don’t help, I suppose one has to learn to live with it!

Well, a bit surprised that India does not figure under the countries affected. If newspaper reports are to be believed, there are whole villages in the southern parts of the Karnataka state that have become dysfunctional due to widespread Chichungunya

Well, I am from the place where chicunguya has paralyzed few districts of karnataka. It is deadly and the economy of these places have come down heavily. People are taking help of ayurvedic and homeo medicines and the results are mixed-kind of. This article is good for me as my wife is currently suffering from this disease.
