Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Ayurveda has equated human body with a building. As pillars and sub-pillars are required to make the building stable, similarly the need of three pillars (sthunas) and three supporting pillars (upastambhas) have been emphasized for human body. The three pillars are the three humors; vata, pitta, and kapha. The three sub-pillars are ahara (diet), nidra (sleep) and brahmacarya (celibacy). Here ahara has been enumerated first, which shows its importance. Ahara (diet) and vihara (life style) both play a preeminent role in ayurvedic thought concerning the etiology of diseases and their cure. In ayurveda, novel concept of viruddha ahara has been condensed. Since the effect of this viruddha ahara is indifferent from the ahita ahara, this viruddha ahara may be included under the ahita ahara group. Viruddhahara is one potent causative factor for several diseases. Consumption of viruddha ahara gives rise to various disturbances of mild to violent nature and disease of acute to chronic nature (including the eight maharogas and genetic disturbances) and even sometimes causes death of the person. This indicates towards the potency and lethal effect of viruddha ahara. Out of the eighteen types of viruddha ahara, the present study is concerned with krama viruddhahara and its role in genesis of diseases.
