Abstract

There is a wide range of risk factors which affect cardiovascular conditions. Cardiovascular diseases comprise one of the most serious disorders in developed nations and are rapidly rising in developing countries. Ayurveda explains, cessation of natural urges as one of the major causes of CVD. In due course of time, suppression of non-suppressible urges, may be due to socially unacceptable behavior, work load or lifestyle problems, usually develops in complications related with heart which are frequently ignored. These non-suppressible urges include Vata (flatus), Vit (faeces), Mootra (urine), Kshawathu (sneeze), Trishna (thirst), Kshudha (hunger), Nidra (sleep), Kasa (cough), Shrama Janit Shwas (breathing out of exertion), Jrimbha (Yawning), Ashru (tears), Chhardi (vomit), Retas (semen) and Udgara (burp). The pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders can be explained on the basis of Vata vitiation due to obstruction in natural course of Vata resulting in its upward or unnatural course of movement. For treating these conditions, Vata Anulomak food and medicines should be used.
