Abstract

Ayurveda had studied and mentioned details about human being. It had mentioned its moto – Prayojana as Health prevention and treating the diseased. Accordingly Acharya Charaka had described Swasthya Chatushka, which guides for maintenance of sound health. For a healthy life, one should follow Dincharya, Ritucharaya, Ashta-Ahara- Vidhi Visheshayatana, Achar Rasayana, Sadavritta etc. as mentioned by Acharyas in Ayurveda classics. In it Acharya Charaka had mentioned four Sadatura i.e., Rajasewaka, Vedapathi Brahmana, Veshya – Stri and Vyapari. The reason behind the Sadatura concept is primarily the Vega Vidharana and the diseases caused by it. In present day scenario the altered lifestyle had resulted in Vega Vidharana and increased numbers of circulatory disorders related to heart are observed. Here a brief study is carried out to correlate the effect of Vega Dharana on heart health in accordance to Ayurveda.
