Abstract

Manasa rog are associated with emotional trauma, negative attitude, stress. According to Ayurveda manasa roga are born out of disturbance in satwa guna. In Ayurveda Chikitsa is classified into 3 types Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa (divine therapy), Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa (rational therapy) and Satvavajaya Chikitsa (psychotherapy). Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa involvesmeasures to combat Daivakrit diseases. Yuktivyapasraya is treatment based on fundamental principles of Ayurveda. Sattvavajaya Chikitsa is to control the mind by withdrawing it from undesired objects. Ayurveda gives more stress to Sattvvajaya Chikitsa and Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa in managing manovikaras. This article will help readers to understand role of Ayurveda in maintaining Manasika Swasthyam. Our Acharyas talk about both Mansika swasthya and shareerika swasthya. In today’s world shareerika swasthya is possible by many ways explained in Ayurvedic text and preventive measures are also written. Mana, Mathishka, budhi, are other entities which have been constantly working to keep up the higher mental functions.
