Abstract

Introduction: Ahara is considered as one among trayopastambha.1 For the nourishment and protection of the body ahara is needed. It is considered as mahabhaisajya by kashyapa samhita.2Thus ahara is most important and building block for a living being. In the present era, arshas is an emerging health issue. In our classics Arshas is considered under Asta mahagada.3 The one which causes pain like the act of an enemy is called as arshas.4 It is progressively increasing in the society due to sedentary lifestyle, irregular and inappropriate diet, chronic constipation, psychological disturbances etc.

Methodology: When we look over to nidana for arshas first thing mentioned is adhyasana that is having meals before the digestion of previous food which is not recommendable. Adyasana there fore is described as one of the health destroying factor.

Conclusion: Prevention is better than cure. So cultivating and providing knowledge regarding healthy food habits especially in youngsters plays an important role in preventing arshas.
