Abstract
The human being, the most complexed creature in the world, has excellent brain functions including the ability of literacy, speaking, thinking, creativity, sensibility, technical knowledge and many more. With the evolution of the world, God Mahabrahma presented this unbelievable gift to mankind. Since then the human used and exploited his brain to fulll his needs and appetence, not only for constructive purposes but also for destructive purposes changing this world to its present state. As a result, people are suffering from numerous medical problems which further develop competitiveness, sedentary and comfortable life style, stress and unsatised egos etc. Among all these countless disorders, those which affect Uttamanga (Head)should be given prime concern. Skin, Nethra (eye), Karna (ear), Nasa (nose) and Mukha (mouth)are the main doors which inuence the brain and lead not only for the causation of Urdhvachatrugata diseases but also for other physical illnesses. 'Stress' is a mental condition which can destroy the man within few seconds. Most non-communicable diseases and occupation AL diseases too are stemming from these organs as a result of stress. Modern science and technologies have failed in nding solutions for these problems. But Ayurveda system explains and clearly advocates effective measures to prevent and overcome all such diseases by using powerful therapeutic techniques. Shiromurdha Thila treatment (for head), Vakthra Vimardhana(for face), Akshi Tharpana (for eyes), Karna Poorna (for Ear), Nasya (for nose) are some of them. Ayurvedic medicine has very powerful therapeutic methods which revealed primary importance in self - care and self - healing individualized system. The preventive measures ofUrdhva-chathrugata diseases from great Vedic tradition must be identied.
