ABSTRACT

Ayurveda has beautifully explained the management of pain by putting emphasis on the concept of “Vata Doshaâ€Â. According to Ayurveda, a holistic way of living, chronic pain is caused by a Doshic imbalances (energy). In Ayurveda all type of pain is considered under Vata aggravation. Ayurvedic theory says that pain can only occur due to Vata involvement and it cannot occur if Vata is not involved. The barrier in Vata flow leads to the pain. Vata flow easily in the body without any obstruction. The obstruction in Vata flow causes pain. Pain appears in any disease it indicates the involvement of Vata dosha. Different types of pain are also explained in our Samhita. Pain is a protective body mechanism, which alerts the person about the harmful condition or experience that occurs in the body. Pain is a symptom of mental and physical disease. Pain is a sensation linked to tissue damage. Its purpose is to allow the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain occurs due to physiological and psychological causes. In Ayurveda pain is described under â€Å¾SHOOL ROGA’ and for this VATA DOSHA- is responsible for pain. This paper through a case study shows how this vitiated Vata is corrected thus correcting the pain. Mainly management of pain associated with GIT is being described in this paper.
