Kaumarbhrutya is special branch among Ashtang Ayurveda which deals with study of the disease, its management of Kaumar(Child).Balagraha is a combination of two words bala + graha. Bala means children while ‘graha’ means to grasp or seize. Grahas – a class of evil demons supposed to capture or affect the children and produced various clinical features. Diseases caused by unidentified factors are termed as idiopathic in modern science but these disorders can be considered as balagraha, jataharinis, adibalpravritta, and janmabalpravritta etc. in ayurveda. It is important to know that symptomatology and the management of disorders are very well explained in our ancient texts before 15 B.C. when there was no advanced technology for the diagnosis, equipment’s for treatment and multispecialty setup of hospitals. In the given research paper, the association of these grahas to the various disorders as per modern medical science and their management is explained in contemporary manner.
