Abstract

Ayurveda as a complete life science describes various treatment methods. In Ayurveda diseases are mainly classified into Sharirika and Manasika Roga based on its Adhisthana. Grahani Roga is having the Adhisthana of both Sharairika as well as Manasika Roga. Grahani is the seat of Agni, which helps in the digestion and metabolism of consumed food. Any deformity in the morphology and physiological aspect of this organ will lead to pathophysiological conditions. Ayurvedic classics have given Satwa, Atma and Sharira in the basis of Ayu. So any disturbance in the Ayu i.e. diseases is due to any one or all of the below three reasons. The same concept is applicable in Grahani Roga. According to Acharya Charaka Chikitsa is being divided into three types- Daivavyapashraya, Yuktivyaoashraya, Satvavajaya. Grahani Roga is Psychosomatic Disorder, that’s why Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa alone is being insufficient for the complete management of many of the diseases. Hence it is the need of time to apply Trividha Chikitsa. Satvavajaya Chikitsa is one among them which helps in Nighrana of Mana from Ahita Indrdiyas. The present paper is aimed at knowing the role of Satva in the Grahani Roga and Satvavajaya Chikitsa in its management.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Grahani Roga, Satvavajaya Chikitsa.
