Exploration of how uncontrolled emotions, known as Dharaniya Vegas, affect health, suggesting the need for better emotional control.
Basic principles of Ayurveda emphasize the importance of Hetu (causative factor) in disease pathogenesis. Indulgence in Dharaniya Vega (urges to be suppressed or controlled) acts as a factor in the cascade of pathogenesis. Understanding the concept of Dharaniya Vegas is very helpful in health promotion. It is quite interesting to note that these Dharaniya Vegas are connected to emotional states of mind. The natural urges of mind are important aspects of the living body and significantly determine the health or diseased state of an individual. Individual desirous of health should control these urges by gaining control over sense organs. These Dharaniya Vegas, if not controlled can lead to Tridosha Prakopa (vitiation of body humors) and result in varied psychosomatic manifestations. In the present article an attempt has been made to explore the concept of suppression of Dharniya Vega and its effect.
