Talk:Vyadhi
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
vyādhi (‘disease’) Āyurveda or the science of health and longevity, categorises vyādhi or roga (disease) into four groups: āgantuka (coming from external sources or acci¬dents); śārīra (arising in the body due to the disturbance of the balance of the three humours viz., kapha, vāta and pitta); mānasa (of the mind, due to jealousy, anger, lust and so on); svābhāvika (natural due to hunger, thirst, oldage, sleep etc.). These diseases may be caused by faulty living as also by the karma of the previous lives. See also ADHI and ĀYURVEDA.
