Abstract

Psychosomatic disorders (Manodaihika vikara) are significantly increasing as a result of modern lifestyles and changing value systems. The comprehensive concept of "Sarirendriya Sattvatma Samyoga," which maintains that our perception of health and illness is framed by the interconnection of the physical, sensory, mental, and spiritual components. Thus, it can be inferred that a psychosomatic component exists in nearly all medical illnesses. Traditional health methods such as Sadvritta, Aachar Rasayana, Medhya Rasayana, and Yoga are ancient practices that can be used to prevent or treat certain disorders. Since Ayurveda views the human being as a whole rather than as a collection of systems, it offers a thorough method for dealing with psychosomatic issues in day-to-day living. Physical symptoms are often a direct result of psychological causes that cause psychosomatic diseases. These illnesses include rheumatoid arthritis, neurodermatitis, thyrotoxicosis, bronchial asthma, ulcerative colitis, peptic ulcer, and essential hypertension. Preventing and treating psychosomatic diseases in society requires environmental preservation, which includes both the psycho-social and physical aspects as well as personality development through exercises like yoga.
