Abstract

In order to maintain healthy operations of all systems, body creates number of perfectly natural urges to alert us to perform needful actions. These urges are known as Vegas in Ayurveda. Vega is fundamental and important concept of ayurveda as it appears in order to maintain the equilibrium of doshas and dhatus, also to excrete mala (toxins) out of the body. This excretion is mainly the function of Vatadosha. In our modern lifestyle we find ourselves actually suppressing natural urges. Most common urges to be suppressed are Adhovata, Mootra, Shakrut, Shukra. These vegas are mainly performed by Apanvayu. Human body balances homeostasis with help of the natural urges.

Keywords: Vegas, vatadosha, apanavyu, adhovata, mootra, shakruta, shukra.
