Abstract

The Sattva represents Manas constitution; it governs psychic and psycho-somatic manifestations. Manas is responsible for mental functioning, which is greatly affected by Ahara and Vihara. The psychological and psychosomatic disorders mainly arise due to the improper functioning of the Manas. The Manas Roga is also associated with lifestyle patterns and social behavior. The balancing state of Sattva helps to cure Manas Roga, and this state can be achieved by following the rules of Ahara and Vihar. The spiritual well-being or moral conduct helps to establish balances in Manas, thus restricting the pathogenesis of Manas Roga. The Sharia that is always eroding That's why it's called the Sharira. For the growth and decay of the Sharira, Aahar and Vihar are required. Due to the reasons that increase or decay the Sharira, there is also a distortion of the Mana. The Sharia and Mana are related to each other, so they both influence each other for their own clinical reasons. In this way, if treatment is to be done, then only the body should not be treated, along with it the mind should also be treated. Here, special attention has to be paid on what kind of symptoms are coming in people with strong Sattva, because being a strong Sattva, is the symptom of disease told by them in reality the same as what is being told by them.
