ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a science of life. Although Ayurveda is considered as ancient healing system but actually Ayurveda is an art of living the life, which deals with every aspect of life. Prevention of the health of a healthy person and complete care of a diseased person are two aims of Ayurveda. Since health protection is the first aim, therefore, Swasthya Chatushka described first by Acharya Charaka. Vegas are naturally occurring body phenomenon, which play an important role in bodily equilibrium and maintenance of the health. Vega means natural urge and Dharana means suppression, so collectively the word Vega Dharana means forceful suppression of natural urge. Initiation of urges is normal body activity through which unwanted and waste body products are expelled out from body. This process is timely carried out by body at regular intervals. Since ancient time various Acharyas have clearly mentioned that maximum diseases are caused by forceful suppression of natural urges. Today our life style includes time management for various commitments, where Vega Dharana is commonly found to occur. These Vega dharana are causing various diseases in different Srotas according to the Kha Vaigunya present in the body. The symptoms of Vega dharana not only comprise to a single srotas, but found in more than one srotas. Srotas are the body transporting channels through which sravana of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala takes place. Srotas performs such function which helps to nourish the entire body. So this study aims to show the relation between Vega dharana and Srotodusti.
