Calming Your Mind with Shirodhara

The whole point of shirodhara is complete surrender, calm and peace, allowing the nervous system to heal itself.

Shirodhara is a unique natural solution for stress, insomnia, anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalances, headaches and neck pain. A Shirodhara treatment can evoke an extremely deep relaxing state and have a profound effect on the psyche. Works on the cerebral system, helps to relax the nervous system, and balances the ‘Praan Vaayu’ (life force energy) around the head.

When the warm oil softly falls onto the forehead the oil saturates the forehead and scalp and penetrates into the nervous system.

The pouring of warm medicated oil in a gentle rhythm across your forehead balances the right and left hemispheres of your brain and harmonises your third eye chakra, pituitary and pineal glands. These are the masters that govern your nervous system and hormonal system. The medicated oils used have a healing relaxing effect as the oil seeps in through your scalp nurturing and nourishing your whole being. As the therapy begins to take effect, you slip into a deep meditation without effort. The muscles in your body relax and your neck releases its tension. A therapeutic head massage completes the treatment and you will leave feeling very rested and calm.

Blissful healing begins with a clear mind. It has a profound impact on the nervous system, and immediately has a calming, relaxing, and cleansing effect on the mind. Mind, body, spirit is drenched in healing oil as it flows over your third eye chakra. It assists in regulating moods and gives a feeling of pleasure and relaxation. The therapy leads to better blood circulation to the brain and nervous system. which helps to improve memory. Stimulates the 6 & 7th charka which regulates our breathing patterns.

In addition to quieting an overactive mind — and nourishing dry hair— the purported benefits of shirodhara include better sleep, improved concentration, and reduced anxiety and fear.

Shirodhara is beneficial for balancing the Doshas. Stress and anxiety, according to Ayurveda, is a state of imbalance of the Vata Dosha. When out of balance, Vata dosha presents as fear, insecurity, worry, racing thoughts. Shirodhara is the direct antidote to a Vata imbalance. The action and qualities of the medicated oil used in Shirodhara counters the qualities of the out of balance dosha. It soothes, nourishes and pacifies the dosh. Ultimately, Shirodhara soothes, pacifies, and nourishes the out of sync doshas through the application of the warm, medicated oil to the forehead, scalp and nervous system.

Shirodhara : Regulates mood and depression disorder; balances the third eye and nervous system by releasing neurohormones, creating ecstatic feelings of relaxation and pleasure; increases intuition; and renews the sweetness of life.

Insomnia

Shirodhara is most effective when done in a series of 3 – 5 treatments.

With all the mental and nervous system stimulation that we're exposed to on a daily basis, it's important to have tools to assist with the clearing, steadying, and supporting of these subtle systems. Shirodhara is a practice you can receive that facilitates states typically only found in practices like meditation. These states lead to a clearer mind, calmer outlook on life, and more tranquil day to day experience.

Patients often experience a meditative state during shirodhara, or experience occupying a liminal space between waking and sleep like Yoga Nidra.

Your mind and nervous system will be deeply renewed, so it's advisable that you avoid any unnecessary or extra stimulation for the remainder of the day. Then you can return to a place that is quiet and supportive for a few hours.

I wish people could understand that within the stillness of shirodhara, healing starts to happen..

Ayurveda is the science of developing greater harmony with our environment through all of our senses...
According to Ayurveda, we create and recreate our state of health each day based upon how we interact with the world, in terms of our beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, and feelings, which then ultimately determine our actions. Actions in harmony with our inner nature create health, while those disharmonious with our inner nature create disease.

DINCHARYA : A COMPLETE HEALTH OF ENTIRE LIFE

Dinacharya – Live Ayurveda daily

Dincharya : A complete Health Of Entire Life.

Dinacharya : Ayurveda Daily Routine To Live A Healthy Life..

Wisdom for developing daily habits of healthy living.

Dinacharya is a Sanskrit word that literally means, “having mastery of one’s day.” It is an ancient Ayurvedic concept of aligning human activity with the natural rhythms of the day and night.

This is a divine way of starting the day and induce positivity and light into your life. Ayurveda recommends purifying the senses each day in preparation to take in all the rich, new experiences life has to offer.

Dinacharya is the Ayurvedic Wisdom of practicing a lifestyle that lives each day well.

Set Ancient Traditional Ayurvedic Routine With Me :
Means More energy, a deeper sense of connectivity, a stronger immune system, and balanced hormones. 

Ayurved is a science of life, it gives informations to maintain normal health,information about disease and its treatment. As life is a circular cycle, according to biological clocks, there is morning, afternoon,evening and night, same way human being must follow the particular biological clock of his life, and must correlate the work with the cycle . 

Due to their job patern or some other reasons, in modern time man has utilized his whole intellectual capacity to find out every possible measure for his comfort. He found out the means to save the time that he is able to complete a year’s work in hours or even minutes. People are earning better, but unable to maintain health and self satisfaction. But unfortunately with all these time saver means he is not able to spare some time for his health care, Only way to become satisfied and healthy dincharya should be followed.

The daily regimen or ‘dinacharya’ is an important component of health care measures. 

Principles of Ayurveda Dinacharya means all the activities of the universe run according to certain preset programs. We hardly can find a lapse in these programs and the coordinated activities. Every being has to act as a part of this whole machinery. Usually, all the living beings follow the natural laws. 

Ayurvedic Dinacharya is meant to act according to cosmic rhythm and in coordination with other beings. Man continuously makes changes in their living setup according to his interests, needs, beliefs and circumstances. Unfortunately, the concept of holistic health has very little place in these daily livings. If one is determined to adopt healthy daily routines, there cannot be any hurdle in that. Dinacharya means to live in a regular and natural rhythm of life and includes timely rest, timely and within the capacity work, timely sleep, timely waking, timely and right food, non-suppression of natural urges and well balanced emotional behaviour. To act against these rules is a cause of diseases.

Diet is very important aspect of Dinacharya and is a special concept of Ayurveda. As far food is concerned Ayurveda has emphasized much on Rasa (the taste), being very simple perception but able to provide very important clues about the contents and quality of food. Not only this is important that what do we eat but this is similarly important that when and how we eat.

The body has its biological clock. Body is not ready to perform any activity at any time. Ayurveda has categorized the function and classified them according to biological clock.

For example morning time is a period of Kapha, if we eat heavy food in breakfast, our stomach is not prepared to digest it properly and there are possibilities of production of some harmful products. 

Midday is period of Pitta, and body is prepared to digest any kind of food properly. Late afternoon is a vata period. After sundown, again there is period of Kapha and Srotas (microchannels) close after sunset, our supper should be light. 

Ayurveda emphasizes on the selection of food according to Prakriti (innate predominance of Doshas in individual’s constitution). Usually, people ignore this unknowingly. 

If a person with Vata- Kapha dominance consumes food with Vata – Kapha properties, he will be prone to have diseases of Vata Kapha origin, for example, Asthma. If he avoids this type of food, he may protect himself from Asthma. A person with Kapha dominance, if consumes Kapha food, he may suffer with Kapha type diseases as Diabetes mellitus. Ayurveda recommends avoiding certain unwholesome combinations of food articles. Combining milk with sour and salty thing; with onion, garlic, fish, radish and bananas are few examples.

These cause vitiation in Rakta Dhatu and may produce skin diseases. In the modern time, when lots of discussions are there about skin allergies, one shall try to avoid this type of combinations in food. Together with activities and food, are also an important part of Dinacharya. 

A further note on this to understand is that Dinacharya will be detailed to the individual’s situation as well as change throughout the seasons so these too are integral to the basis of knowledge of how to use dinacharya.

Do let me know if you want to incorporate dinacharya in your life and what the effects are in your life.

PANCHAKARMA TREATMENT FOR MENTAL DISEASES

PANCHAKARMA TREATMENT FOR MENTAL DISEASES

Prevention and Treatment of Mental Disorders in Ayurveda..

Panchakarma is a collective term which indicates five major therapeutic procedures of detoxification to cleanse the body channels, along with many other supportive procedures. Literally, Panchakarma is made up of ‘Pancha’ means ‘five’ and ‘karma’ means ‘procedure / action’ (procedures of purification).

The mental health benefits of panchakarma are numerous. Panchakarma is a science of the body and mind that is thousand of years old. It has continually helped people to maintain optimal health and prevent illnesses of the body and mind.

In Ayurveda Mind is considered as dual organ means as Sensory and Motor in nature, so the diseases of mind are affecting both mind and body.

In Ayurveda for treating ailments of the head region ( for example, mental and brain disorders, sinusitis, weakness or ailments of senses, falling and greying of hair).

Ether and air are the first two elements which form vata energy that perform all the functions which are agile and involve movement. The brain and nerve functions and cognition are the functions performed by vata energy.

Treatment is given with brain and nerve strengthening medications and so on. Various rasayanas are prepared with Ayurvedic drugs and are given orally. Medicated oils are also prepared from these drugs for external applications like Body Treatment, Shirobasti or shirodhara.

The Panchakarma Bio Cleansing the five therapy procedures are very much effective in mental disorders. During panchakarma, the deeply accumulated morbid disease causing material is removed. It is believed that the morbid toxic material accumulated in long term passes the brain barrier, causing mental diseases.

The preparatory procedure for main panchakarma , the body treatment is very much effective in many mental disorders; different types of medicated oils are used in body procedure. A whole series of body treatment is part of the process that begins to release this physical and emotional stress.

During and after panchakarma treatment the body begins to heal, and the mind and spirit begin to experience a clarity that can be profound. Mentally one can begin to assimilate input coming from all six senses with a clarity that surpasses ones previous capacity. As the mind and body connect better and heal interdependently the spirit of the person opens to new possibilities.

When the body begins to heal in panchakarma treatment, the toxins that are stored in the cells are released over a period of time (several weeks to months). which also detoxify and clear any blockages that may be present in the subtle channels of the brain as well as rejuvenating and strengthening the mind. Most toxins in the body are created by the food we eat and our reactions to the challenges of life. The food we eat can prevent the digestive organs from making enzymes that enhance the digestive process. When food in not digested efficiently toxins build up on the walls of the stomach, small and large intestines, the liver and all the organs of digestive system.

Therefore when one area of the mind or body is suffering it upsets the balance in other areas of the body and mind. Panchakarma takes into account the whole person, consisting of mind, body and spirit. The stresses from emotions stay in the memory of cells of the body preventing the organs and nervous system from interacting and communicating with each other. Stress ties us up and diminishes the ability of all systems of the body and mind to communicate with each other.

The ability to handle normal emotions becomes so difficult that we begin to question ourselves. Many times in a negative way. As a panchakarma practitioner, i understands how physical and emotional stress is stored in the body and needs to be released.

All the systems of the body are a functioning unit and work together to run smoothly much like an automobile. The idea is that if one organ is upset than a ripple like effect take place in the entire body. As we have all experienced with our automobiles when one part is breaking down the car can no longer function well. Panchakarma is a holistic system of healing that incorporates the mind, body and spirit and the treatments involve every area of the body.

Nasya:

Nasya treatment, which is a part of Panchakarma or the five purification practices, is given with special medicated oils through the nasal passage. The nose is considered the gateway to the head and the medications induced through the nasal passage open the channels in the head, improve oxygenation, and hence the functioning of the brain. Nasal medication is advocated in many mental disorders, it is considered a port for brain for drug delivery. Many herbs are routinely used in Ayurveda and other traditional medicine for mental disorders.

Stress and brain have a strong relation with each other. By providing nourishment to brain, stress can be eliminated from root and hence helps in preventing psychosomatic disorders. Hence, we can say that Ayurveda can be a promising alternative in psychosomatic disorders.

There is a technique of holding plenty of oil in the centre of the scalp, called shirobasti. Another technique which is called shirodhara that involves pouring medicated oil on the forehead and letting it flow backwards on the entire scalp. This is a very popular technique now a days, as it relieves daily stresses.

These treatment modalities will stimulate the brain, crossing the Blood brain barrier. This will help to manage the condition.

One of the fundamental concepts of Ayurvedic disease management is to eliminate toxic materials (vitiated doshas) from the body in order to cure a disease; this is called as Panchakarma therapy and is designed to eliminate the toxic materials. It is postulated that the toxic materials of the body need to be eliminated radically before a palliative therapy is given. The palliative therapy in the form of drugs and diets may not be effective unless the body channels are properly cleansed and toxic materials are eliminated. Panchakarma is believed to purify or cleanse all the body tissues and to bring about the harmony of neuro-humours (tridosas) (i.e. vata, pitta, kapha, and manasa doshas (i.e. satva, raja, and tama)) and to obtain long-lasting beneficial effects.

Panchakarma procedures include whole-body treatment with medicinal oils (abhyanga), streaming of medicinal oils on the forehead (shirodara), herbalized steam treatment (svedana), nasal administration of medicinal oils (nasya), emesis (vamana), purgation (virechana), and enemas (bats). The specific components and duration of the Panchakarma therapy vary by individual, medical condition, and the extent of dosha imbalance.

Within Ayurveda, depression is also a disorder of the brain, but unlike in biomedicine, it is always associated with at least one fluid or dosha, i.e. data, pitta and kapha. Interestingly, a correlation exists between biomedicine and all three doshas, i.e. they have physiological equivalents. Ayurvedic practicioners argued on the basis of science how Vata is always responsible for the transmission of electrical impulses and their movements, thus in the long run an excess, lack or balance of this quality determines the brain activity. Pitta is associated with enzymes and neurotransmitters. Their levels may be too high or too low, meaning this quality is not in balance. Kapha dosha is associated with the cerebrospinal fluid which is responsible for the quality of the brain. Eastern traditions emphasize connectedness and holism, meaning everything people think, experience and feel have a ects on the mind and the body.

Panchakarma procedures have been traditionally used in the Ayurvedic treatment of many psychiatric conditions and many scientifuc studies support such use and demonstrate positive e ects in the field of mental health. Panchakarma should be initiated only after a consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic doctors.

Promoting mental health and well-being through Ayurveda.

In holistic Ayurvedic medicine and body treatment the goal is to cleanse the body with natural herbs, soothing food that aid in digestion and developing a spiritual lifestyle. Therefore we maintain our health daily attending to the mind, body and spirit.

Ayurveda regards mental illness as a consequence of doshic and gunic imbalances, which results in mistakes of the Intellect (prajnaparada) which is the true root cause of all mental disorders.

CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AND PANCHAKARMA,

There are some Efficacious Ayurvedic Panchakarma Procedures in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Various Panchakarma Procedures are found to be beneficial in the management Cerebral Palsy.

Thus, Ayurveda is “the science of life” and is related to maximizing the health, vitality and longevity with wise lifestyle choices. Ayurveda offers treatments of hundreds of diseases, but its primary emphasis is on the prevention and optimization of health with careful attention to diet, activity, circadian rhythms, seasonal and environmental influences, psychological behaviour and spiritual practices. Ayurveda is a holistic medical system, defining life as an inseparable connectedness of body, mind and spirit.

Charaka asserts that Ayurveda is the most sacred of all because it does good to people in respect of their present life as well as the life beyond (reincarnation), because all living beings, including spirits and deities, are part of this cycle of rebirth (samsara). This conception suggests that the life process itself has no beginning and no ending; every event is determined by its antecedents.

Furthermore, it is necessary to eliminate ama (accumulated toxins in the channels) and to re-establish the homeostasis. The five main procedures within panchakarma are: vamana (emesis), virechana (purgation), nasya (nasal instillation of herbal oils/powders), basti or vasti (herbal enema), and raktamokshana (bloodletting). Primarily, these practices are aimed at eliminating ama (toxins) from to body and cleanse the channels. Each procedure is performed in three phases: Poorva karma (preparatory methods), Pradhana karma (main procedure) and Paschat karma (post- cleansing

procedures which include dietary and behavioural regimen).

Panchakarma is the ultimate mind body healing experience for detoxification of the body, for strengthening the immune system, to restore the balance and wellbeing

NASYA KARMA FOR MENTAL DISEASES

NASYA KARMA FOR MENTAL DISEASES..

Role of Nasya in Psychiatric Disorders :

Nasya For Healthy Mind and Clear Sense Organs.

To overcome this problem, any treatment which gives nourishment to the brain can be beneficial in this case. Nasal route is easily accessible and efficient route.

Nasya is one of the most powerful treatments in Ayurveda. It involves the therapeutic application of medicines via the nostrils which work directly on the entire head region.

Nose is considered as one among the panachegnanendriya, whose functions are not only limited to olfaction and respiration but also considered as a for pathway of drug administration. The medicines that is put into nostrils moves in the channels & shows influence on shiras by removing out the accumulated doshas localised in shiras i.e from all sinuses in the skull.

If Nasya Karma is done regularly it will keep the person's eye, nose and ear unimpaired.

Nasya is having the mode of action on the siras which is not only a core marma, but also the seat of prana, manas as well as the indriyas. The procedure of nasya is stimulating the limbic system, the key factor here which is associated with emotion, memory and learning. The nasya which was performed is aimed at the sodhana of the head by the efficacy of the procedure and clears the corresponding srotuses.

Besides this it is used to treat all ‘diseases above the neck’ thus eye, ear, nasal, oral, brain and other related disorders can all be treated with Nasya.

According to Charaka Samhita, Nasya is the best treatment for shirorogas.

According to Acharya Sushruta, medicines or medicated oils administered through the nose is known as

Nasya. (Su.Chi.40/21,29).

Nays karma is a therapeutic measure & specific treatment methodology in Ayurveda in which the medicated drug is administered through nasal route mainly to eliminate or extinguish the vitiated doshas situated in head and its constituent parts, curing the diseases of those part.This particular type of treatment is mainly indicated for the disorders in the head and neck region.

The greed for wealth and our excessive efforts for it brings psychosomatic disorders. We find psychosomatic disorders as a result of modern lifestyle. The incidences of psychosomatic disorders are increasing due to changing lifestyle. These symptoms are due to increased activity of nervous impulses sent from the brain to various parts of the body. As per the Ayurvedic texts, the tridoshas are the main causative factors in the pathogenesis of any disease.

In the Ayurvedic worldview, all aspects of the cosmos, including human beings, supposed to be a manifestation of pancha maha bhuta or five great elements: space / ether, air, fire, water and earth. Thus, all living creatures supposed to embody the five great elements, not only in their physical structures but also in the doshas that govern psychosomatic functioning. There are three doshas (“bioenergetics” principles): vata, pitta, and kapha. Each dosha has three aspects: subtle, through which it regulates the functions of mental activity; physical, through which it regulates the activity of internal organs and other body organs; and morbid, which must be removed from the body.

In Ayurveda, a healthy person is defined as someone who has balanced doshas, dhatus (seven categories of tissue elements), malas (by-products of digestion and metabolism) and agni (enzymes responsible for digestion and metabolism). It is also a person who is spiritually highly developed, having the optimal function of the senses as well as the sensory organs and enjoys the pleasure of the mind.

In Ayurvedic psychiatry, gunas and doshas engage in the treatment of mood disorders. The gunas are the three great energies in the brain. When rajas dominates the mind, a person becomes obsessively active and distracted, and complains of having uncontrollable racing thoughts. If this imbalance becomes greater, hyperactivity, insomnia, anxiety, inability to concentrate or mania can manifest. When tamas dominates the mind, however, the result is lethargy, depression, dullness, negativity, and lack of motivation. Satva brings someone a direct understanding of cosmic consciousness, while rajas and tamas bring deteriorating human (mis)perception of separation from the cosmic consciousness.

An individual who maintains a balance of three doshas and the gunas has an internal capacity to metabolize and heal a lot of the physical and emotional tensions. Conversely, if a person is in conflict with himself or with the universe and others, then physical, emotional or psychological illness might occur.

Nasya karma is the main line of treatment in diseases above the neck which can be adopted in this disorder. Nasya karma is one of the therapeutic procedures of the Panchkarma, wherein the Oil/Drug is administered through the nasal route. This is one of the Panchakarma procedures that not only alleviates the vitiated doshas but also causes complete eradication of the vitiated dosha and the disease.

Nasya treatment, which is a part of Panchakarma or the five purification practices, is given with special medicated oils through the nasal passage. The nose is considered the gateway to the head and the medications induced through the nasal passage open the channels in the head, improve oxygenation, and hence the functioning of the brain. Nasal medication is advocated in many mental disorders, it is considered a port for brain for drug delivery. Many herbs are routinely used in Ayurveda and other traditional medicine for mental disorders.

As nose is gateway for shirah (head), medicine administered through it occupies various parts of the head and removes morbid doshas adherent to it. It not only removes doshas but also gives strength to organs & channels.

Acharya Vagbhata has stated that, “Nasa hi shiraso dwaram” that is, the nose is the easiest and closest opening for conveying the potency of medicines to the cranial cavity.

By Nasya karma. The drugs/oil administered through nose will reach the Shringataka marma (sira mama) and spread through the opening of the shiras of the eyes, ears, throat, and so on, to the head.

The action of Nasya karma depends on the drug/oil used in it.

Nasya provides nourishment to the nervous system and helps in removing the irritation.

Nasal medication is advocated in many mental disorders.

This treatment is also given in Vata type of disorders. It is beneficial to cure migraine headache, hemicranias, and dryness of voice, constriction of the eyes, defects of the vision, toothache, earache, tinnitus, and difficulty in speech, nervousness, anxiety, fear, dizziness, and emptiness.

The imbalance of Manodoshas; Satva, Rajas and Tamas are mainly considered responsible for mental illness; Manovikara. The psycho-biological elements: Vata, Pitta and Kapha known as tridoshas which need to be in balancing condition for maintaining good health, the tridoshic imbalance leads diseases pathogenesis and as per ayurveda mental disease may also occur due to the tridoshic imbalance associated with other factors such as misrepresentation of Manodoshas.

Traditional Ayurvedic medicine supports brain functions, boost memory, manage cognition and improves brain activities.

Ayurveda provides principles to maintain good healthy status of mind, body and soul. Ayurveda also offer therapies for the management of mental health issues.

Mode of action of Nasya :

1. Nose is the direct pathway for Shira.

2. Drug administered through nasal reaches Sringataka and

spreads to the netra, srotra, kantha etc. parts and removes dosha accumulated in these region.Sringataka is considered as the inner side of the middle part of the head and Aachaarya Sushruta told Sringataka marma is a Sira marma formed by the union of Sira supplying nose, ear, eye and tongue. Thus we can say that the drug administered enter these Sira and spreads in the head.

This is one of the Panchakarma procedures that not only alleviates the vitiated doshas but also causes complete eradication of the vitiated dosha and the disease.

Ayurveda can be a promising alternative in psychosomatic disorders...

THW ROLE OF NASYA KARMA IN GYNAECOLOGICAL DISORDERS

The role of Nasya karma in Infertility,PCOD as well as other gynaecological disorders is elaborated. Regularity in menstrual cycle, normality in quantity and duration of bleeding are the indicators of women’s good reproductive health. Nasya helps to regulate hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis and establishment of normal menstruation. Hence it is one of the best remedies as compared to modern hormonal treatment.

The man of 21st century is living under various stress, anxiety, pressure, irregular or hectic life style and unnatural food habits. So the prevalence of diseases are on rise day by day like stress induced insomnia, dementia, anxiety, tension headache, depression etc. a minute change in status of mana affect the homeostasis of the body. Physical and mental health plays an equal role for a healthy life of an individual. In this competitive era, it is a big challenge for a person to maintain healthy life. Ayurveda has given equal importance to physical and mental health. There is very rich profile of drug-treatment modules for prevention, promotion of mental health and to cure mental disorders.

Among them Nasya karma is a procedure of great importance in respect of mental health. Nasya is considered as the best procedure because Nasa (nose) is considered as a direct gateway of Shira (brain). If we administer a medicine through the Nasa within a short interval it affects the brain. Selection of medicine depends upon Doshas involved in a particular disorder. If a person is suffering from stress induced insomnia, anxiety, panic attack and attention deficit syndrome with hyperacidity, it may be due to vitiation of Vata.

Nose is the gate of the Head and Nasya karma is the treatment for all the ShiroRoga and disease of Uttamanga. So everyone should know about the nasya karma for the benefit of society.

Ayurveda assumes that any disorder, physical or mental, is manifested in both the somatic and the psychological spheres, through an intermediate process of contamination of bodily fluids or doshas.

Thus, Ayurveda is “the science of life” and is related to maximizing the health, vitality and longevity with wise lifestyle choices. Ayurveda offers treatments of hundreds of diseases, but its primary emphasis is on the prevention and optimization of health with careful attention to diet, activity, circadian rhythms, seasonal and environmental influences, psychological behaviour and spiritual practices. Ayurveda is a holistic medical system, defining life as an inseparable connectedness of body, mind and spirit.

Charaka asserts that Ayurveda is the most sacred of all because it does good to people in respect of their present life as well as the life beyond (reincarnation), because all living beings, including spirits and deities, are part of this cycle of rebirth (samsara). This conception suggests that the life process itself has no beginning and no ending; every event is determined by its antecedents.

In Ayurveda Mind is considered as dual organ means as Sensory and Motor in nature, so the diseases of mind are affecting both mind and body.

Acharya Kashyapa opines that there are 3 types of satvas or psycho- mor-phisms, they are: Satva (en-lightening), Rajas (dynamic) and Tamas(inertia).These are considered as manogunas(qualities of mind) and satva is called as Enlightening i.e., it acts like a mirror and it shows what we are, and it never takes any role in producing psychological disorders. Only raja and tama take part in pathology of psychological disorders, hence Ayurvedic scriptures say that mind has only two doshas. When these two doshas are disordered, mental diseases appear. Charaka recognizes three origins of mental disease: those produced by imbalance in bodily doshas, those produced by mental doshas and those produced by a combination of the two. Thus Charaka classified five types of insanity: Vata born, Pita born, Kapha born, that born from a combination of all three doshas and that which is accidental.

Satva offers pleasure in various forms such as purity or transparence, lightness, love, joy. Rajas contributes to pain in various forms such as grief and the like. Tamas causes delusion in various forms.

DRUG THERAPY FOR MENTQL DISORDERS

Under drug therapy, it is said that, in all types of mental diseases where vata, pitta and kapha are deranged, dosha shodhana or srota suddhi (elimination of dosha or shodhana or srota suddhi (elimination of dosha or cleansing, the cells) has to be done by adopting various sodhana (purificatory measures). When the cleaning is properly done, samanausadha (palliatives) and rasayana (tonics) are given in order to bring back the deranged manas to normalcy.

During my 31 years of practice, I have researched some of the Ausadha (medicines), rasayana (tonics) and upakrama (treatment processes) that are being used in treating various mental disorders.
