Abstract

Gudarsha is found to be the most common disease since the ancient times till today. If it remains untreated it gives rise to more troublesome complications like anaemia which are very difficult to cure and to treat. To treat these diseases completely, one need to know the root cause and try to eradicate it. In our samhitas so many causes are stated which are responsible for Gudarsha. Mostly the common causes are Aharaja and Viharaja, also our samhitas state that Vega vidharan is also the cause of Gudarsha. According to Ayurveda various diseases are caused by suppration of natural urges (Vega vidharan). It is one of the most underestimated possessions by the people or they have to suppress it due to their work. Vegas are naturally created for the excretion of Mala through various ways by the body. If suppression of mutra, purisha, vata vega is continued for long time they may create many serious diseases like Gulma, Arsha, Sosha etc.
