    What do you know about: Chikungunya

    Chikungunya also known Chicken Guinea is a kind of
    viral fever caused by alpha virus which is called
    Chikungunya Virus or Chicken Guinea virus. Chikungunya
    got its name from the Makonde word which means "That
    which bends up" & this is due to the bend posture that
    develops in Chikungunya victims as a result of
    Chikungunya symptom like arthritis.

    The disease is spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
    which are active only during the day time. These
    mosquitoes lay their eggs is fresh water only. Its
    been over six months since the Chikungunya fever
    outbreak was found in India. In India, the disease
    first started in Tamil Nadu, South India and gradually
    spread to the North.

    Symptoms:

    Chikungunya (Chicken Guinea) is not a fatal disease,
    but if the affected person has other complications,
    the Chikungunya disease symptoms may aggravate and may
    result in complications and may even pose threat to
    life.

    The main symptoms include severe temperature, body
    pain, pain in all the major joints with swelling, due
    to arthritis affecting multiple joints. In some cases,
    skin rashes, severe headache and conjunctival
    infection can also be found. Usually the body
    temperature or Chikungunya fever will be completely
    normal within 2 to 3 days, but the joint pain and
    swellings will last longer, usually 7 days to even 2
    to 3 months.

    Chikungunya Treatment:

    The Indian medical system called Siddha Medicine, has
    very effective natural treatments to offer for the
    treatment and prevention of Chikungunya [chicken
    guinea]. Siddha Medicine is one among the three Indian
    Medical Systems namely Ayurveda, Siddha & Unani and it
    is one of the oldest medical systems in the world and
    it’s the only medical system that bestows immortality.
    Origin of Ayurveda and Siddha medicines were almost of
    the same age, but Siddha System is still confined to
    the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu on the other hand
    Ayurveda has reached Worldwide attention. Its time for
    the world to know about the valuable Siddha System
    which is of immense medical value to humanity.
