Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
In Ayurveda the Shareer and Mana association represent the two dimensions out of four dimensional entity, of the life (Ayu); the other two are the sense and the soul. The Shareer, Mana together with the Aatma are considered the three pillars (Tridanda) on which the whole concepts of life rests and operates. If Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the three Doshas of the body, Rajas and Tamas are the two Doshas of the mind. The very definition of health (Swasthya) insists on the harmony between the body (Samadosa, Samagni, Samadhatu, and Samamala), mind and soul (Prasannaatmamana). Any breakdown in body function, has its result from wrong use of the senses, Too much, too little or wrong used of it results in wrong action i.e. (Asattmendriyarth samyog) that causes us eventual pain. To understand how our body functions, we must also see how we use our mind. Objectives: Compilation of available references suggesting interrelation between Shareer and Mana from Charak Samhita and other Samhitas too. To study association between Shareer and Mana. Conclusion: As Mana is an Ashraya of Raga and the concept of inter-relation between the mental and somatic diseases of Ayurveda, clearly indicate that whenever we talk about Vyadhi, it includes the possibility of somatic or psychic diseases. Even on therapeutic part, common therapeutic procedures like Svasthavrutta (Physical code), Sadvrutta (Moral code), Rasayana (Rejuvation methods) are advocated for both categories of diseases. Yuktivyapashryachikitsa is basically aimed at treating somatic disorders, though advocated in the management of psychological diseases like insanity (Unmada) as well; Similarly Sattvavajayachikitsa though is suggested for diseases of psychological origin, is also advocated in somatic diseases like fever etc.
