Nagendra Singh Raghuwanshi*, Pronab Haldar and Pravanjan Acharya

ABSTRACT

According to Charak the definition of Viruddhahara is the Articles of diet that are inimical to the body-elements tend to disagree with the system (Body). Those articles of food, which dislodge the morbid humors (Dosas), but do not eliminate them from the body are to be regarded as unwholesome (food articles). “Charak Caturanana” Cakrapani explained here that, the food articles by which the dosas are going to be provoked and spread or diffused from their place but these dosas are not eliminated from the body. So these food articles become unwholesome.

Keywords: Ayurveda, incompatible diet, Viruddhahara.
