INTROCUCTION
It is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis. It is a complicated multisystem disease that severely limits daily activities and is frequently marked by extreme exhaustion, cognitive dysfunction, sleep issues, autonomic dysfunction, and post-exertional malaise. Due to limited medical education on the subject, provider bias, and ambiguity around the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, outcomes worsen as the ailment goes undiscovered for years. In addition to fatigue, CFS often includes cognitive dysfunction and impairment of daily functioning that lasts for six months or more. It is not a psychological problem, but a medical condition. Orthostatic intolerance, post-exercise malaise (PEM), exhaustion, and diarrhea are just a few of the complicated symptoms that CFS patients occasionally report when they go to the emergency room.

AYURVEDIC VIEW
It is correlated to Ras (plasma) kshaya and Oja (immunity) kshaya. The tissues (dhatus) contain a fraction of the biodigestive power (kayagni). Their vitiation in terms of quantity, quality, or function results in dhatus vitiation. As a result, the affected dhatu is diminished or made worse. Whereas, Ojas is the center of power and the essence of saptadhatu. The hridya, along with blood vessels connected to it, serves as the seat of the ojovaha strotas. Ojas is transported throughout the body through ten veins that are connected to the heart. A person will pass away if the amount of ashta bindu ojas drops. However, if ardh anjali ojas weakens or becomes vitiated, three abnormalities—ojah kshaya, ojo vyapat, and ojovisramsa—appear. However, Ardh Anjali Ojoksaya can potentially cause death.
SOME COMMON NIDAN/CAUSES OF KSHAYA
Charaka sutra 17/76-77
- Excessive exercises
- Fasting
- Worry
- Intake of dry food
- Less intake of food
- Excessive sitting in the sunlight
- Fear
- Alcoholism
- Night wakefulness etc
SYMPTOMS OF RAS KSHAYA
Charaka sutra 17/64
With the decrease in the Rasa Dhatu, even with a little hard work, the heart of the patient begins to tremble, light or noise cannot be tolerated, the heartbeat increases, and colic appears.
SYMPTOMS OF OJO KSHAYA
Charaka sutra 17/73
With the decrease in the oja, the patient remains afraid, becomes weak, and always remains worried, and in meditation, the senses are unable to do their work. The complexion of the body becomes dirty, the mind remains sad, and the body becomes dry and weak.
MANAGEMENT OF RASA KSHAYA
Langhan (10 types of lightning therapy):
- Vamana (induced vomiting)
- Virechan (induced purgations)
- Niruh basti (medicated enema)
- Nasya (medicated nasal drops)
- Pipasa (Thirst)
- Vayusewan (exposure to breeze)
- Atapsewan (exposure to sunlight)
- Paachan (Medications used to remove toxins from the body)
- Upwas (fasting)
