Pain and its Management
There are two major kinds of pains: physical and mental. Both are caused by vikriti or imbalance at physical and mental levels.
Mental pain can give rise to physical and vice versa. The constant imbalance gives rise to the formation of vikara or specific malfunction and thus pain becomes chronic if it is at physical level and habitual if it is at mental level.
Pain at physical level is a warning system of the body to give us a message that something is wrong with the dynamic body system. It indicates the obstruction of energy channels of the body due to formation of blockades. It can be due to imbalance of the doshas in that particular region or an injury or infection. It could also be due to an ill effect of a wrong posture over a long period of time.
