It is transmitted through mosquito vectors like ubiquitous mosquito species&nbsp;<em>Culex quinquefasciatus</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Mansonia annulifera</em>&nbsp;respectively. The global burden of LF, with a focus on endemic regions, is discussed along with the socioeconomic implications of the disease. In Ayurveda, Lymphatic Filariasis can be correlated with Sleepada which was mentioned in 6th B.C by Acharya Susruta in his treaties. Ayurveda with its holistic approach to health and disease, provides a unique lens through which to view the complexities of LF, with its different modalities of treatment among which nithyanandha rasa has a significant role in reducing the signs and symptoms of the disease.</p>
