Abstract

Ayurveda holistic science of life has always emphasized to maintain the health and prevent the diseases by following proper diet and lifestyle regimen rather than treatment and cure of the diseases. In present era each and every person has to face cut through competition in each field of life. This leads to anxiety which is an important aggravating factor of Vata Dosha according to Ayurveda. Vata is the control factor for the mechanism of mind and body. Moreover the fast life style, irregularfood habits and lack of rest also aggravate ‘Vata’ Dosha, thus the ratio of Vatavyadhi is increasing day by day. Ardita is one of the Vata Vyadhies which is caused by aggravation of Vata. Ardita has been enlisted amongst the eighty types of Nanatmaja Vata Vyadhies. The vitiation of Vata especially aggravation of Vata causes ‘Ardita’ as mentioned in almost all Ayurvedic classics.
