ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a unique combination of philosophy and science that harmonies the various components of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual health needed for overall wellness. Ayurveda is becoming more well-liked on a global scale due to its holistic approach, benefits for the environment, lack of toxicity, and affordability. Its goal is to enhance and promote overall health, including mental and physical wellbeing, while preventing illness. Nidra is one of the most important parts of health according to Ayurveda, and it has been linked to happiness and well-being. Health comes from having a calm mind. The disturbance in Nidra may be brought on by the way of life, environmental elements, psychological stress, altered dietary patterns, and daily stress that finally disrupts the psycho-neurobiological regularity of the sleep cycle. This conceptual study’s goal is to compile and re-evaluate the many rules related to various aspects of sleep (Nidra). In everyday life, Nidra is regarded as a Brihana factor (nourishing factor), which implies that it improves health by nourishing the Dhatus and raising Kapha, which is in charge of the resilience and immunity of the body as well as the mind.
