ROLE OF MUTRAVEGADHARAN IN THE MANIFESTATION OF DISEASES

Abstract

Human body is the most evolved and sophisticated system which has its own purificatory mechanism to eliminate toxic/ waste substances produced inside the body, thus maintaining homeostasis. The voluntary suppression of Vegas (Natural Urges) is considered as one of the main causes of the diseases in Ayurveda. Now a days due to busy life and heavy work load ,people often suppress the natures call .If it is suppressed regularly it will bring changes in every system of the body such as cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, nervous, endocrine ,reproductive and musculoskeletal. Suppression of Vegas causes the vitiation of Vata dosha, which further interacts with other Doshas to develop diseases .Thirteen Vegas are explained in Ayurvedic texts which should not be suppressed at any cost. These Vegas are called as Adharaneeya Vegas or natural impending reflexes (urges) Among these , Mutra Vega is considered as important Vegas as Mutra is considered as Aharamala and having greater role in elimination of toxic/waste byproducts from the body. The things which are impending to go out have to be flushed out. When retained intentionally, causes vitiation of Tridoshas and cause serious damage to the organs of excretory system of our body. Therefore the Mutra Vega should not be suppressed nor controlled forcibly.
