HERBAL REMEDIES FOR RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda vijyan believes in tridosha philosophy which is accepted by all acharyas, which illustrate the body functioning and importance of dosha balance. This principle is also the basis of ayurvedic science and treatment. “समदोष समाग्नि समधातु मलक्रिया , प्रसनात्मेन्द्रिया मन स्वस्थ इतियभिदियते |” It illustrates the principle which says the equilibrium state of dosha, agni, dhatu and mala leads to happy sense organs, soul and mind. Which is called health. So ayurveda works to bring these to equilibrium. The aggravated vata dosha results in overactive movements of the body, more talks, fast and uncontrolled body movements as it is characteristic features of vata dosha.
