Abstract:
Ayurveda supports the health care in three ways of treatment modalities. i.e. daivavyapashraya, yuktivyapashraya and satwavajaya. Among the trividha chikitsa, the concept of daivavyapashraya is the most neglected and misunderstood concept. Though being carried out in different parts of nation, as a religious belief, the scientific principles are unexplored. Daivavyapashraya chikitsa involves mantra, aushadhi, mani, mangal, bali, upahar, homa, niyam upawas, swastyam, pranipat, gyanam etc. Among all of the above, mantra (incantation) is the most commonly used modality since ages. Mantra has been explained in both swasthya and atura in the classics. From the collection of medicine to preparation and management reciting mantra has been highlighted. Mantras are the sacred words having spiritual potency, i.e. the sound, a combination or a sequence of sound develop spontaneously.
