A Review on Aahar-vihar in Ayurveda: Adapting Ancient Knowledge in Modern Era
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Ayurveda’s approach towards the way of living life is portrayed across multiple dimensions of physical health, mental health as well as at a spiritual level. Acharya Sushruta also focuses on tridosha, agni, dhatu, mala, indriya and mana to keep ourselves swastha. But in today’s era, everyone is in running in a competitive race of life with overstressed body and mind. Hence, by not following the correct conducts required to remain healthy, they witness dosha – dhatu vaishamyata, agni – bala vikruti, sroto dushti, alpa satva, etc. in their body and ultimately become a victim of lifestyle disorders. To counteract this, Ayurveda plays an important role by focusing primarily on the preventive aspects than the curative aspects. Classical texts mention interventions like Aahar – Vihar, Dinacharya, Rutucharya, Sadvrutta, Nidra, etc. to promote health and be disease free.
