Svabhava in Ayurveda

We can understand from the Vedas, that the science of Ayurveda is based on the principle of svabhava, instinct or nature. Perhaps that is the reason why it is essentially eternal. It is said that animals, birds and other creatures know and use herbs and by observation and experimentation we can understand their properties and utility. The animals, without any training, select and use them by instinct. So we can assume that the basic instinct which prompts one to pursue safety, well-being and preservation formed the beginning of medicine. Desire, expectation and faith in fulfillment based on one’s own and others’ experience, with knowledge of own limitations, which have roots in instinct, naturally take the form of prayer. So it is quite natural that prayer and belief formed a part of medicine. This attitude helps the system to have a positive reaction to treatment, whatever be its form. In the Vedas, medicine has two parts, bheshaja and oushadha. Bheshaja is mainly prayer in the form of Japa, Homa, Bali, Prayaschitta etc. The usage of herbs is oushadha, to promote digestion etc.

God is referred and prayed to as the best of the physicians. Even the herbs are used in a precatory attitude, requesting them to cure the diseases and conditions for which they are used. We can see a kind of suggestive psychological treatment in this, making the system receptive to the treatment. Positive attitudes always ensure positive responses. Thus it can be said that the vedic method of treatment is psychosomatic. The mind has a control over physiological functions. It is difficult to completely separate the mental and physical aspects of the system. The Ayurvedic idea that disease originates from raga (passion), turbulance of mind, can be seen in the Vedas. There are conditions that bheshaja (prayer) can cure and diseases that oushadha (drugs) cures, but most diseases require bheshaja and oushadha. Surely one assists the other in bringing forth the desired effects, when both the physician and the patient, have belief in the system.

This is the case with health also, where food takes the place of medicine. The food has to be taken in a precative attitude. The physician in general is called bhishak. There are hundreds of physicians and thousands of herbs. A physician surrounded by medicines is projected as a king in the midst of his courtiers. The opinion of some people that the vedic physicians were mere sorcerers shows their ignorance. One of the branches of Atharva veda is charanavyooha. It describes about wandering physicians, ministering the needs of the people and identifying drugs throughout the country. Charaka is said to belong to such a class of physicians. Though physicians were respected and Brahma, Prajapathy, Indra, Varuna, Agni, Vayu and others occupying positions of importance in controlling and maintaining the universe were physicians and teachers of medicine also, physicians as a class had a status inferior to those who attended to vedic rites and rituals, perhaps because the physicians engrossed in medicine tended to show lapses in disciplines of vedic regimen. But as in the case of Aswinidevas, the physicians were elevated to an equal position of honour in recognition of excellence. physicians had a good knowledge of an atomy and physiology. One hundred and twenty one anatomical terms (denoting organs, tissues etc.) are mentioned in the Vedas, many of these in the order of existence in the body. Sira, dhamani, nadi and others are mentioned. – from, Treating the person, not the disease: (interview with Thirumulpad, reproduced from ‘Health Action’-Jan 2002) read more here.
