MANASA (PSYCHE)- SHARIRA (SOMA) INTEGRATION : AN AYURVEDIC VIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Now a day, the concept is accepted that the “men” as a whole and not the“organ” only. The “men” is made up of the “body” and “mind”, the two components being inseparable and having continuous interaction with each other. No physical symptoms can be regarded as adequately studied or treated unless a simultaneous study of the psychological aspect of the case is also conducted. Not only for psychiatric and psychosomatic illnesses, but also for physical evaluation of the personality of the individual, it is necessary. In Ayurveda system of medicine, there is no separate compartment of psyche and soma. Both affect each other and all the diseases have both somatic and psychic components. Practically in all the diseases excepting the Agantuja (traumatic injuries), for vitiation of Doshas certain mental factor also plays an important role. In description of Jwara, Raktapitta, Gulma, Kustha, Sosha, Atisara etc., vitiation in mental factors also leads to the disease. Considering the importance of integration of Sharira and Manasa, the review study has been made for the better understanding of physiological as well pathological condition and its utilization in the treatment too.
