title: EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF VEGA-VIDHARAN (SUPPRESSION OF NATURAL URGES) IN THE AETIOLOGY OF PSYCHOSOMATIC DISEASES (With special reference to voluntary retention of Urine and Neurohumoral Physiological and clinical changes in human volunteers).
abstract: According to Ayurveda various diseases are caused by sepratlon of natural urges (Vega-vidhran), as testified by Susruta who has described 13 types of udavarta rogas. Here an attempt is made to study thy effects of voluntary retention of urine on a series of patients suffering from stress disorders in terms of Neurohumoral, biochemical and physiological changes. The study clearly validates the ancient concept of Ayurveda that wilful retention of natural urges is quite harmful.
