Ayurveda and management of Nervous disease (Vata - Vyadhi)

 "Persons whose Vayu is in Balance live 100 years without illness". As per Ayurveda, the Nervous system is controlled by all types of Vayu in our body and this is why the Nervous system disease in Ayurveda is called "Vata -Vyadhi." Vatas are of 5 types- 

1. Prana - It is located in the head, chest, throat, tongue, mouth, and nose and controls digestion, breathing, sneezing, spitting, and heart function. 

2. Udana - It is located at the navel, chest, and throat and controls speech, effort, energy, complexion, aspiration, and memory.

3. Samana - It is located at sweat, doshas, fluid, and small intestine and controls digestion. 

4. Vyana - It is found in the entire body and controls circulation, muscles, joint movement, blinking, and secretions. 

5. Apana- It is located at the colon, genital, urinary bladder, navel, thighs, and anus. Vayu is the vital nerve force that pervades the entire body. It is considered identical to Divine eternal energy and is therefore self-generating.

Vayu is the root of all nervous disorders.  Causes include cold, roughness, lightness, little or no food, excessive sex, talking or staying late; or excessive release of toxins and blood. It also includes leaping, jumping, traveling or excessive exercise, wasting of tissues, and excessive emaciations from anxiety, grief, fear, or illness. Further causes are uncomfortable beds and chairs, anger, naps, fear, surprise, natural urges, toxins, injury, fasting, injuring vital organs, accidents, etc. As tissues deplit Vayu fills the channels with air or becomes mixed with the other doshas that have filled the channel. When Vayu is becoming only the cause of vitiations, then the result is more severe. When it mixes with Pitta or Kapha, it is not as strong. 

Development of Vayu: Vayu accumulates in its home site, the colon, causing colic, gas, gurgling, feces obstruction, urinary stones, herniated scrotum, hemorrhoids, sharp pain in the back and waist, and other difficult diseases related to lower body parts. 

Symptoms: Excess Vayu causes contraction, stiff joints, hands, back or head; tearing of bones or joints, hair standing on end, delirium, limping, crippling, humpback, organ dryness, and insomnia. It also causes organ numbness, the crookedness of the head, nose, eyes, neck, and clavicular area; miscarriage, destruction of sperm or ovum, pulsation, tearing, or piercing pain, distress, convulsion, confusion, and exhaustion.

What happens when Vayu becomes Aggravated? The Vayu affects the whole body or parts of the body. In the abdomen, it shows symptoms include tremors, twitching, pulsating, cutting pain, joint pain, obstruction to the passage of urine and feces; abdominal tumor, heart disease, hemorrhoids, and rib pain. If it is in Rectum, it disturbs urine, stool, and gas retention, colic urinary stones or gravel, abdominal distention, pain, and emaciation in the legs, calves, thighs, pelvis, sacrum, feet, and back but if it is excess in the stomach and small intestine then it develops pain in the heart, navel, ribs, and abdomen, thirst, belching, cough, dry throat and mouth, difficult breathing, vomiting, vertigo, and epilepsy. If excess vayu accumulates in the colon, it develops intestinal gurgling, colic, meteorism, difficulty passing urine and stools, bowl hardness, piercing pain in the navel and surrounding, and sharp and severe pain in the waist and back. Indigestion is also due to excess Vayu in Colon only. 

Due to excess Vayu in sense organs, it loses proper functioning. In skin, becomes dry, rough, and cracked, numbness, red skin, discoloration, etc. The Vayu also affects blood quality, muscles, fat, marrow, bones, semen and ovum, tendons, ligaments, veins, and joints. 

Nowadays miscarriage premature ejaculation or retention of semen, and fetus including abnormal fetuses, etc also due to excess vayu in the specific organs, and that is interconnected with the habits, life, and foodstyle, especially junk foods that develop unwanted Vayu in the body. 

From the above, it is clear that the total body is very severely affected due to excess Vayu and that is due to irregular lifestyle and food habits. 

If we maintain regularity and take food in time and that also should be a balanced diet, we may avoid excess formation of Vayu in our body and live long. No doubt! vayu requires our body to make organs functional but excess Vayu is very harmful.

So, Stay healthy, stay safe...
