Abstract

The traditional Indian medical system known as Ayurveda provides a holistic approach to mental health that unites the mind, body, and soul. The Atharva Veda and later treatises by Charak, Susrut, and Vagbhatt provide detailed descriptions of Ayurvedic mental health, including information on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting both humans and animals. The vast range of conditions from mild greed and anger to severe psychoses are described by the science of mental disorders. The world is simultaneously searching for answers to the internal conflicts plaguing the mental health industry. The foundation of the Ayurvedic theory of mental health is a mix of The tridosha and panchabhuta gunas, Prakriti is the combination of these doshas and the three gunas that are inherited from birth. Good mental health is produced by the dynamic balance of the aforementioned components. Ayurveda describes the use of Daiva vyaprashraya, Yukti vyapashrya, Satva vajaya cikitsa, Aachara Rasayana, Dinacharya, and Yoga therapy to treat these conditions.
