Abstract

The holistic science of life is Ayurveda. For the body to operate normally, the Tridosh must be perfectly balanced. Since Vata is the most important of them, it governs and controls the body's functions. For this reason, Acharya Sushruta has named Vayu "Swayambhu," which describes the significance of Vata among the Tridoshas.[1] One of the five Vata kinds, Saman Vayu, is located closer to the Jatharagni and is thought to provide it power. The main Saman Vayu location is close to Jathragni, and Koshta is its operational region. It is incharge of munchan (ejecting waste), sara and kitta vivechan (digestion and absorption), and grahan and pachan (motality and secretion). Current science states that the ENS is in charge of regulating all of the GIT's secretions and motions. It is the gut's most significant local control system. The enteric system, sometimes referred to as the "mini brain of the gut," has over 100 million neurons, which is almost as many as the entire spinal cord. A partial correlation exists between the function of Samana Vayu and the autonomic nervous system's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems as well as the enteric nervous system.
