Abstract

Na Vegandharniya Adhyaya comes within the SwasthaChatushka of Sutra sthana in Charaksamhita. SwasthaChatushka deals with the important guidelines to be followed by healthy individuals to maintain their health. This Adhyaya describes preventive measures for diseases. Emphasis is given to natural urges aimed at cleansing body channels. These urges are known in Ayurveda as ‘vega’,which is a very fundamental and important concept of Ayurveda. The text also emphasizes upon following a proper dietary regimen and exercising per the individual’s unique body constitution. It also describes detailed means for maintaining psychological and social well-being for prevention of psycho-spiritual disorders. The methods of prevention of diseases by improving strength, by knowing one’s own body constitution, maintaining psycho-spiritual balance and following an ideal dietary and lifestyle regimen suited to one’s unique constitution have been provided here. This is an important chapter described for prevention of all disorders through maintenance of internal somatic hygiene and promotion of somato-psychological strength. According to Ayurveda, the first line of Treatment in all diseases is "Nidana Parivarjana", which means, avoiding the cause. The chapter covers a comprehensive knowledge about ways to positive physical-psychological and spiritual health in holistic manner, which is the true essence of Ayurveda.
