CONCEPT OF SWATANTRA AND PARTANTRA VYADHI IN AYURVEDA W.S.R. TO DOSHA PRADHANTA

*Dr. Aparna Pandey

Abstract

Man is a composite whole of matter, mind and spirit. He is a part of a much larger universe in which he lives and a creature of a relatively smaller environment surrounding him. The universe and the immediate local environment acts on him as a stressors. He is constantly called upon to adapt in internal(sharir) and external environment and maintaining a steady state equilibrium i.e, dosh-dhatu-mala samyata. According to Su.su.15/3 "dosha dhatu mala mulam hi shariram" means in arogyawastha tridosh, dhatu and mala perform their prakrit karma and hence called moola karan of sharir. This steady state depends upon the equilibrium of three dosha vata, pitta and kaha. They get disturbed due to viruddhahara-vihara and the samyavastha becomes unstable and the inability of man to achieve and maintain his samyavastha initiates the process of disease.
