      AB When a toddler's body does not get enough protein, food, minerals, and other nutrients to be in top
shape, it's called malnutrition. It is believed that food is the principal agent of change as it may affect
physical conditions beginning at conception and continuing through the subsequent level. Locating
appropriate vitamins is a formidable challenge for humans. Nutritional abnormalities may lead to a
condition called malnutrition. "Malnutrition" may mean either too much or not enough food. When
it comes to food, the Ayurvedic texts are full with useful yet dispersed advice.Balshosha, the
sickness caused by the vitiation of Rasavaha Srotas, is one of them. The name Balshosha means
"child emaciation" when you put the sounds of "Bala" and "Shosha" together.The Ayurvedic texts
state that this undernourishment is caused by a lack of protein and energy, which is what modern
science calls protein energy malnutrition. Poor growth, decreased cognitive advancement, lowered
immunity to diseases, etc., are all symptoms of this physiological state or process. Both curative and
preventative practices are fundamental to Ayurveda. In this newsletter,the Ayurvedic and presentday
correlation of Balshosha is given.
