In all types of jirna jwara (chronic fever), internal use of medicated ghee prepared is recommended. Medicated ghee pacifies vata by its unctuousness, kapha by (ghee infused with) kapha pacifying drugs, and pitta by its coldness. Therefore, ghee is useful in all forms of jirna jwara like fire subsides with water. [37]
Here are (the verses) –

As water is sprinkled on burning houses to douse (the fire), ghee is administered to manage chronic fever. No other sneha (oil etc.) brings the refinement properties of sanskara (processing with drugs) as ghee and therefore it is said the best one of all the snehas. [38-40]

To summarize,
To summarize,
Three types of nidana of jwara, along with their synonyms, five types of diseases, symptoms and synonyms of diseases, five means to know the diseases, eight types of fever, its distant and immediate causes, premonitory symptoms, symptoms and medicament in short – all these were expounded by Lord Punarvasu (Atreya) to Agnivesha in this first chapter on the diagnosis of jwara. [42-44]
Three types of ''nidana'' of ''jwara'', along with their synonyms, five types of diseases, symptoms and synonyms of diseases, five means to know the diseases, eight types of fever, its distant and immediate causes, premonitory symptoms, symptoms and medicament in short – all these were expounded by Lord Punarvasu (Atreya) to Agnivesha in this first chapter on the diagnosis of ''jwara''. [42-44]
Thus ends the first chapter on diagnosis of fever in [[Nidana Sthana]] in the treatise composed by Agnivesha and reducted by Charaka. (1)
Tattva vimarsha:
=== ''Tattva Vimarsha'' ===
*The causative factors, favorable conditions, dominant factors, and origins of ''jwara'' are important in the context of ''nidana''. [3]
*Somatic diseases could be caused due to ''soma'' (''kapha''), ''agni'' (''pitta''), and ''vayu'' (''vata'') – due to vitiation of single ''dosha'', two ''doshas'', or all three ''doshas''. Psychiatric diseases are attributed to vitiation of ''rajas'' and ''tamas''. [4]
*A disease can be seen clinically as a consequence of toxins inside the body, and could be defined as that which inflicts fear, hampers quality of life, manifests with many signs, decreases life, affects the senses, cause pain, and makes life hard. [5]
*The five key factors of ''jwara nidana'' that provide a complete view of a disease are etiology, premonitory signs, clinical features, pacifying factors, and pathogenesis. [6]
*An ability to understand and observe unmanifested or premonitory signs is important to prevent the progression of a disease. [8]
*The signs of a disease could take the form of a cardinal feature, a structural lesion, marks, or a systemic disorder. [9]
*Pacification factors include diets, medications, and lifestyle regimen that help provide relief and comfort to the patient and are considered to be among the means to diagnose a disease. [10]
*The pathogenesis of a disease includes numerical classification, types of diseases, knowledge of a dominant factor, and temporal factors (aggravation time and season).
*''Jwara'' is the primary change observed in body that initiates a disease process. [16]
*All forms of ''jwara'' are caused due to vitiation of ''doshas'', which in turn have various causative factors (for their vitiation). [17]
*The important pathological events in process of ''jwara'' are as below:
**Vitiated ''doshas'' get accumulated in the ''amashaya'' i.e. site of first phase of digestion
**Next, these ''doshas'' mix with the undigested food material, in that heated environment, in the ''amashaya'', vitiating the ''ahara rasa'' (just digested food)
**This vitiated ''rasa'' blocks the ''rasavaha'' and ''swedavaha strotas'' (channels) that regulate body heat.
Consequently, there is an affliction of the digestion process and spreading of heat outside its natural location, causing a rise in body temperature [19-28]

Vidhi Vimarsha:
*Exogenous factors may cause ''jwara'' by vitiating ''rakta'' (blood), and/or ''dosha''. [30]
Treatment of any disease is possible only after the proper knowledge of causative factors and sign and symptoms. Treatment principles described in Nidana sthana should be incorporated in the upashaya (pacification factors). Nidana means the causative factor of the diseases. The term Vyadhibodhakam means the diagnosis of diseases with the help of nidana, poorvarupa, rupa, upashaya and samprapti. 1-2 [6]
*Rise in temperature? is a confirmative sign of ''jwara''. [32]
If diseases are not properly known, one cannot start the treatment. Therefore, Nidanapanchaka (the five factors associated with understanding an affliction) is described as the specific measures to diagnose the disease. [7]
*The light to digest diet and reduction therapy shall be started as soon as premonitory signs of ''jwara'' are observed. [36]
*The best advocated medicine for chronic ''jwara'' is Ghee due to its therapeutic efficacy of pacifying all three ''dosha''. [37]

Vagbhata also endorsed these five components as the means of understanding the disease. [6] [8]

B. Second classification
Several types of classifications of ''Nidana'' are as under:
==== A.First Classification ====
There are four types of ''Nidana'':
#'''Sannikrishta''' (immediate causative factor): Immediate factors that cause afflication of a disease in a short span of time and do not require to wait for the different stages of ''doshaprakopa'' like ''chaya'' etc., are known as ''sannikrishta''. Such factors do not require any help of other causative factors to produce the disease, though it is not an independent agent either.
#'''Viprakrishta''' (delayed/ chronic causative factor): These factors do not cause the disease in a short span of time. These causative factors have to wait for increased, gradual accumulation of ''doshas'' to get strength. A threshold, once reached, triggers the onset of the disease. The example of this is the accumulation of ''kapha dosha'' during ''Hemanta ritu'' (early winter season), causing diseases seen in ''Vasanta ritu''(spring season). ''Sannikrishta'' factors tend to use this foundation prepared by ''viprakrishta'' factors. As the diseases are immediately seen after the consumption of ''Sannikrishta'' factors, it gives the impression that the disease is caused only due to ''Sannikrishta'' factors. Thus, a disease cannot manifest independently by either ''Viprakrishta'' or ''Sannikrishta'' factors – it would require both.
#'''Vyabhichari''' (weak causative factors or doubtful causative factors): These types of causative factors are weak and they may or may not be the etiological factors responsible for the disease. These could be secondary factors that require some other factor to afflict the patient, or could become a primary factor if the time is favorable.
#'''Pradhanika''' (primary causative factor): These types of causes are the definite causes of disease due to their own strength. For example, poisons, severe trauma, etc. are considered as ''pradhanika hetu''.
==== B.Second classification ====
Per this classification, nidana could be of three types:
Per this classification, ''nidana'' could be of three types:
1. Asatmyendriyartha samyoga (Abnormal contact of the Indriyas, i.e., sensory & motor organs): Excessive utilization, underutilization or improper utilization of sensory and motor organs with their objects is called as Asatmyendriyarth Samyoga.
