Abstract

Ayurveda being the Upaveda insisted the importance of Daiva vyapashraya chikitsa (Divine therapy) as one of the three main channels of treatment to link the inner spirit with cosmic energy which is still common in general practice but not widely practised by physicians. In many occasions we observe that the ill effects of our past life karmas are not cured by mere scientific methods of medicine etc. In such occasions these methods do help the individual to rebuild the confidence and to some extent in curing the sufferings. Plenty of techniques have been mentioned under the heading of Daiva vyapashraya chikitsa namely, Mantra, Aushadhi dharana, Mani dharana, Mangala, Bali, Upahara, Svastyayana, Upavasa, Prayashchitta etc. This article gives a comprehensive knowledge about the concept of Daiva vyapashraya chikitsa in terms of modern knowledge. To conclude, the techniques of Daiva vyapashraya chikitsa followed in those days are still relevant in present days and can be explained through logical as well as scientific ways. By following these methods one can imbibe a sense of confidence in him/her and further can turn into optimistic and positive. Keywords: Divine therapy; Daiva Vyapashraya Chikitsa; Daiva; Mantra; Bali chikitsa.
