Acharya Sushrut opines that in animals like dog, jackal, wolf, bear, tiger etc. when vata get vitiated and causes vitiation of Kapha, invading the channels carrying sensation after situating in Sangyavaha Srotas (Nervous System) causes Sangya Vinasha (loss of sensation). Rabies is also an acute, highly fatal viral disease of the central nervous system caused by Lyssavirus type-1.Symptoms of rabies are fever, headache, excess salivation, muscle spasms, paralysis and mental confusion. According to modern science, there is no specific treatment for rabies. Rabies is usually fatal and major efforts are only for prevention. Ayurveda emphasizes the same. Ayurvedic management of Alarka Visha is described by Acharya Sushruta. According to Ayurveda, Sthavara Visha should be used to treat any jangama Visha (Animate Poison). It is clear that the uses of Dhatura (Sthavar Visha), Shweta Punarnava, and Sharapunkha have been described as possible treatments for dog bites.
