A literary review on Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa (Medical Astrology): A unique management in Ayurveda

The holistic approach of treatment in Ayurveda includes, Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa, Satvavajaya Chikitsa and Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa. Only the first two are in regular practice while this spiritual therapy i.e., Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is totally ruled out in this IT world, as it is beyond the purview of reasoning. We have references of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa in all our classical text books. Homa, Havana, Japa, Tapa, Mani, Mantra, Upavasa, Prayaschitta, Gamana are mentioned in Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa. Daiva is Atma Kruta Karma (i.e., deeds done by one’s own self). It is a philosophical Tatwa, one face for whatever is done in the past or previous Janma. In this present scenario, the chronic, serious diseases are increasing due to bad food style and wrong life style. Thus, cases of Infertility, Cancer, Alzheimer’s are also increasing. For such non-curable diseases, when planetary positions are not supportive for easy cure, using Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa can enhance the quality of life. Especially in infertility, many case study is documented after right rituals are done, couples have conceived, who had failures after trial of both Allopathy and Ayurveda therapies for infertility. So, Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is a Indriyaateeta (not accessible to sense organs). Thus, it is kept aside by the Ayurveda fraternity and from the research in the field of science. But, it’s now the high time and right time has come to utilize this divine knowledge in guiding and helping the human kind in leading a better-quality life to be healthier and to lead a happy life.
