ABSTRACT
After any surgical procedure, one of the most important post-operative manifestations is unconsciousness, which may be due to the impact of General Anaesthesia or any underlying pathology. Unconsciousness or deranged consciousness conditions may also be due to some psychological factors or some organic loss in Central Nervous System which may lead to some other diseases like Epilepsy(Apasmara), Mania(Unmada), Schizophrenia(Atatvabhinivesha)etc. According to some Ayurvedic texts. Hence there has been a constant quest for an ideal Ayurvedic drugs therapy for the treatment of such sort of psychological disorders and unconsciousness ie Sangyasthapana. On review of Ayurvedic Literature, it has been suggested that tama and raja are the two manas doshas mainly responsible for the manas rogas ie psychological disorders, especially Tama dosha due to Mohatmaka guna. Also, vitiation of Tama and Pitta dosha causes Sangya nash (Murchcha) or Unconsciousness. So the drugs that work on the vitiated pitta and Tama dosha and work on overall mental well-being should be taken into consideration. A holistic approach can be cost-effective and can also be used to reduce complications associated with surgical procedures related to trauma or injury to the brain and psychological disorders. Thus in this paper efforts to spread light on the Ayurvedic concept of Sangyasthapana drugs and also their perspective on the Ayurvedic future of surgical procedures and Psychiatry has been taken.
