Abstract

Human body is an amazing machine which has a number of ways to balance the substance which could be useful and harmful to the body. Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine for health which enlightens various non-pharmacological methods to prevent diseases and promote health. Some of the important regimens are Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta, Dharaneeya and Adhaaraneeya Vega. Ayurveda termed it as Adhaaraneeya Vega which is having significant accountability in preventing diseases and promoting health. To make balance of these substances, our body is equipped with Vega (urges) which appear naturally. According to the ancient Ayurvedic texts, there is one main cause of all the type of diseases and that is the suppression of natural Vega. Therefore it should not be suppressed. Ayurveda has described 13 natural Vegas which should not be retained at any cost. If they are suppressed on a regular basis due to any reason, they can lead to various health problems. The problem created due to non-suppressible urges is getting more and more now-a-days. Therefore this review article attempts to explain Adhaaraneeya Vegas in detail as mentioned in Astangahridaya.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Adhaaraneeya Vega, Natural urges.
