Editor's Notes
- Madatyaya is a disorder due to excess intake of alcohol results because of its continuous consumption without having any limitation to its quantity. Madakari Dravya is that by the intake of which produces disturbance of the intellect faculty by its virtue of Tamoguņa like Madya, Sura etc. Intake of excessive alcohol which is Tikshņa, Ushņa, Amla and Vidahi in guna makes the Annarasa Utkleda and will be digested improperly which ultimately turns Kshara and causes Antardaha (burning sensation in the interior of the body), Jvara (fever), Trishņa (morbid thirst), Pramoha (loss of orientation), Vibhrama (completely deranged mental faculty) and Mada (intoxication).The Dosha incited by alcohol causes obstruction to the movement of Vayu in the Srotas (channels of circulation) because of which the patient suffers from excruciating pain in the head, bones and joints.
- Objects of Mind-Chintyam,Vicharyam,Oohyam, Dhyeyam, Sankalpa Objects of Senses-Vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste Ahitha-Heena yoga Mithya yoga Ati yoga The word manonigraha refers to the control of mind which is actual satvavajaya chikitsa. This mind control can be subjective and objective. Self control of mind is one the most difficult task and which requires perfect combination of desire, determination and dedication. Lord Krishna says that manasa can be controlled by abhyasa(practice) and vairagya(detachment) “Abhyasen tu kaunteya vairagyen cha grihyate”(Bh. Gi. 6/35)
- The best approach to achieve the goal of Satvavajaya chikitsa is to restrain mind from desire for unwholesome objects, is through Jnana (knowledge of self), Vijnana (professional analytical knowledge), Dhairya (confidence), Smriti (scriptural wisdom) and Samadhi (concentration) according to Charaka .
- The word Gyana stands for Atmagyana i.e. knowledge of self and soul, spiritual knowledge or true knowledge. Such a person believes that none but his ownself is responsible for Sukha (happiness) and Dukha (miseries). Thus, he gets rid of bondage of Sukha and Dukha. The final goal of this technique is to build up insight in the patient
- In Dhairya therapy a patient will be able to maintain the balance of mind even the patient is in stressful condition in which multiple counseling sessions will be done to provide mental support and removing out the negative thoughts about his alcohol habits and its after effects.
- In Smriti therapy the patient is advised to recall the happy moments of his life so that he will be able to restrain the mind from recurrent consumption of alcohol and he could find a better way to live his life.
