Abstract
The concept of suppression of the Vegas as one of the main causes of many diseases is unique. However, very few
studies are available that evaluate the strong cause-effect relationship of the suppressed urges and manifestation of
symptoms mentioned in the Ayurveda texts. It was also pertinent to understand the aetiopathological consequences
of Malavega Vidharana in terms of related systemic derangements in various disease conditions. The present
observational study entitled “An Observational Study of aetiopathological Effects of MalavegaVidharana” was
designed to understand the effects of MalavegaVidharana as described in Ayurvedic Samhitas. This would further
help in prevention of many lifestyle disorders with emphasis on not suppressing Malavega Vidharana as “Nidana
Parivarjana” constituting the “First Line of Treatment.”
