Importance Of Pathya & Apathya According To Ayurveda With Reference To Present Era

Abstract

Diseases are caused due to incompatibility between the person and the aahara, vihara and kala  ( season) he enjoys.  Therefore to alleviate the diseases or the doshas Pathya and Apathyas are advocated by Ayurveda (do’s and don’ts). These should be planned accordingly to the individual person and with reference to Aahara, Vihara (daily routine work), kala and the manas or satwa of the particular person. This planning should be based upon the amshamsha kalpana of the disease based on the dosha, dooshya, kala and satwa.
