Abstract: The idea of ojas is peculiar to Ayurveda. Even though ojas is seen as a fundamental component of an individual's life and well-being, the notion remains unclear in the eyes of society. Ojas is thought to be the essence of the dhatus, and it is in charge of bodily upkeep. Depletion of Ojas has various negative impacts on an individual's mental and physical health, and can even result in death. Rapid cultural modernisation, rapidly evolving technology, and changing lifestyles have enabled man to overcome previously unfathomable barriers. At the same time, it has had negative impacts on the human body. The increasing speed has given rise to a new breed of illnesses, which has a terrible influence on society. It has been the primary cause of the horrible health situation. According to recent assessments, work-related stress has increased by 57% in India. While describing the causes of ojas vitiation, Ayurvedic texts emphasise psychological situations such as wrath, stress, grief, and tiredness after activity. Fear, debility, an unstable mind, cheerlessness, excessive concern, and other symptoms have been reported by Ojakshay lakshana acharyas. These symptoms can even be present in people who are stressed. There has been no research done to far to investigate the state of ojas in stressed people.
