Abstract
The concept of Adharneeya Vega (non-suppressible natural urges) is a fundamental aspect of Ayurveda, emphasizing the preservation of physiological balance by allowing the body to expel certain natural urges. According to classical Ayurvedic texts, there are 13 primary vega (natural urges) that must not be suppressed, as doing so can lead to various physical and mental health disorders. These include urges related to defecation, urination, sneezing, belching, flatulence, thirst, hunger, tears, sleep, vomiting, yawning, breathing, and ejaculation. Suppression of these urges disrupts homeostasis, leading to systemic diseases such as gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory issues, neurological disturbances, and even psychological imbalances. This article explores the rationale behind the concept of Adharneeya Vega, its implications on human health, and the consequences of suppression. By incorporating ancient wisdom with modern physiological understanding, we can better appreciate the need to honor these natural urges for maintaining health and well-being.
