Abstract

Nidan Parivarjana, or the deliberate avoidance of causative factors, is acknowledged as the primary therapy approach in the field of Vikriti Vigyan. The prevalence of mental health disorders is rising worldwide, making Yoga's potential as a therapeutic and preventative tool all the more important. In this article, the scientific and Ayurvedic relationship between Yogic interventions and Nidan Parivarjana is examined, with a focus on psychosomatic and Manasika disorders. It focuses on how Yoga regulates the Doshas, Manas and Srotas to manage mental health in an evidence-based manner, providing a distinctive and comprehensive strategy for illness prevention and health promotion.
