Abstract: Modern Swasthavritta mainly deals through Personal Hygiene and Social Hygiene. Personal Hygiene is related to body principally but in today’s scenario, Mental Hygiene is also fortified. In Ayurveda, mental aspect is always on a notable height as a part of Swasthavritta. In Ayurveda, Swasthavritta is established for up gradation of mental and social health. Manas is as responsible as Sharira in producing the diseases. At present, a scanty literature is available in the Ayurvedic classics regarding Manorogas. It is found very briefly in Unmada Chikitsa Adhyaya of Charaka Samhita or scattered whilst the description of other diseases. In Sushruta Samhita, Vagbhatta Grantha (Ashtang Hridaya and Ashtang Sangraha) and Kashyap Samhita, description and treatment of Grahas are found in separate Adhyayas under Kaumarabhritya but it is only as a part of Kaumarabhritya not as a separate branch of science. Human beings are encircled by various desires and without get rid of those desires. Yama and Niyama are described as the first two steps. The practice of Yama enhances the moral aspect and also helps to develop the ability to justify the grasping of the impulses of senses. Niyama is the practice of controlling the mental emotions and practice of which prevents improper indulgence of mind into different objects. Sadvritta not only includes mental faculties, but also rules related with general hygiene, religion, food consumption, sexual intercourse and exercise, following which leads to prevention of psychological, physical and psychosomatic disorders.
