Abstract

Ayurveda is the traditional Indian science of medicine. It has both preventive and curative aspect. In the context of prevention, Swasthvrut is mentioned. Achara Rasayan is the part of swasthvritta. If a person follows the rules of swasthvrit as well as achar rasayan, he will remain always healthy. In Ayurvedic treatises, Acharyas has mentioned three types of Aishana and these are Pran aishana, Dhan aishna and parlok aishana. If Person’s Satva-Buddhi, Paurush and Parakram is un-upahata (Normal), He will be Swasthya (healthy). If a Person’s satva-buddhi-paurush and parakram gets upahata (ab-normal), he will consume a nidan (predisposing factors) like Asatmay indriya arth samyog-Prgyaparadh and Parinam. Among them Pragyaparadh is Predominant factor. Paapa karma is consierded as a pragnaparadha which is main cause of shvitra.
