*Dr. Richa Danu, Dr. Reena Dixit and Dr. Sujata Sharma

ABSTRACT

In Ayurveda the essence of all Dhatus is called “Ojus” and it is responsible for the defense of human body against a disease (Vyadhikshamatva). In modern medical science, vaccination is done to produce immunity against a disease. Acharya Sushruta, Vagabhata and Kashyapa describe Lehana for this purpose which ultimately enhances immunity. Lehana procedure is a very unique procedure of Kaumarbhritya. All samhitakaras explain „lehana‟ but Acharya Kashyapa explains it with special reference to child.
