आरोग्यं परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थसाधनम्॥
Health and Wellness
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.“
– WHO (World Health Organization)
समदोषः समाग्निश्च समधातु मलक्रियाः।
प्रसन्नात्मेन्द्रियमनाः स्वस्थः इत्यभिधीयते ॥
Samadosha, samagnischa samadhatu malakriyaha
prasanna atmenindriya manaha swasthya ityabhidheeyate
–Sushruta Samhita 15:41
Only an individual whose body’s parameters such as humors ( doshas ), digestive fire ( agni ), tissues ( dhatu ), physiological functions of excretions ( malakriyaha ) are in a state of equilibrium and whose soul ( aatma ), senses ( indriya ) and mind ( mana ) are in a pleasant state, is considered healthy.
Health is the state of any living organism when it functions and feels normal or better. In this state, a person experiences good sleep, good digestion, normal appetite, normal breathing, normal pulse, good quantity of pure blood, strong nerves, calm mind, free bowel movements, normal urine and sparkling eyes with shining face.
“Wellness is functioning optimally within your current environment.”
–National Institute of Wellness
“The active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.”
-Wellness as per Global Wellness Institute
Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of and make choices towards a more successful existence. It is a conscious, self directed and evolving process for achieving full potential. It is multidimensional and holistic and encompasses complete well being.
ॐ..सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः, सर्वे संतु निरामया।
सर्वे भद्राणि पशयन्त्तु , मा कश्चित् दुःख भागभवेत्।।
