Concept of Manas and Preventive Measures as Per Ayurveda: A Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Ayurveda accords equal importance to mental (mānasika) and physical (śārīrika) health, recognizing that disturbances in manas originate primarily from an imbalance of the three mental doṣas—sattva, rajas, and tamas. Caraka and Suśruta Saṃhitās describe the nature, functions, and afflictions of manas along with preventive and promotive measures. The present review discusses the conceptual framework of manas, causes of mānasika vyādhi, and preventive strategies such as sadvṛtta, ācāra rasāyana, medhya dravyas.
