Authors: Ayush Bhatt, Jivka Keshav, Dr. Sonal Parihar

Abstract: Ayurveda's goal is "Prayojanam Chasya Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam!" Cha Aturasya Vikara Prashamanam!!" (Cha.Su.30/26). Maintaining a healthy person's health and returning an ill one to health. Acharyas in Ayurveda outlined different Do's and Don'ts for maintaining health by following Dinacharya's, Ritucharya's, Ratricharya's, Sadvritta, Achara Rasayana, Rasayana, Sadaachara, Ahara vidhi, and so on. According to Ayurvedic traditions, the entire preparation is divided into two divisions. a) Aoushadha (medical formulations). b) Ahara (natural remedies) (dietetic preparations). Ahara must be given priority in this matter (diet). These can be utilised by both healthy people and patients. As a result, the notion of Pathya (wholesome) and Apathya (unwholesome) is one of the greatest in Ayurveda. It is a component of illness therapy. This demonstrates the significance of Pathya (wholesome) and Apathya (unwholesome) in Ayurvedic medicine.

Keywords: Pathya, Ahara, Yusha, Yavagu.
