Abstract:
Health is defined as, a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity. Manas or Satwa plays an important role in keeping person healthy, even during the time of physical disorder Manas helps in relieving it. But during present day’s lifestyle and stress related environment, human beings are suffering from many psychological disorders, As many as 450 million people suffer from a mental or behavioural disorder. Among them nearly 1 million people commit suicide every year (WHO). So this balancing nature of mind nowadays is getting deprived under the influence of growing stress and strain in life. But treatment is not absolute in the modern science, but Ayurveda may provide better treatment modality in controlling or curing these than other existing sciences. Satwavajaya Chikitsa is a unique non-pharmacological approach for treating the mental disorders. It is the first of its kind and if developed can really prove much useful. So Satwavajaya plays major role to get rid of these problems. So it is very much essential to understand the concept of Satwavajaya Chikitsa.
