Abstract

Ayurveda, a primitive and preventive science, explained Adharneeya (irresistible) Vega (natural desire) to prevent and cure disease. Vega plays an important role in the proper functioning of the body. They are ruled primarily by Vata with the support of another subspecies of Dosha and controlled and directed mental activities. Vega Dharana is believed to be the cause of many chronic diseases and acute physiological conditions. Data Source: classic Ayurvedic texts and charkas are researched to interpret the Ayurvedic physiology of each Vega. Investigation Methods: Ayurveda and recent contemporary research on natural Vega and its therapeutic importance are examined by electronic search. Conclusion: Understanding the physiology of Adharneeya Vega is crucial to the etiopathogenesis of its sequelae and other related diseases described in the classics of Ayurveda. Conclusion: This article attempts to explain the concept of Adharneeya Vega mentioned in the Charaka-Samhita to be examined with contemporary relevance in Ayurveda Clinical Practice and thus an aid to health promotion as well as a prevention tool.
