- <p><strong>Introduction-</strong> Ayurveda consistently underscores the duty of the Vaidya to prescribe suitable <em>Pathya</em> and <em>Apathya</em> as an essential part of disease management, which is crucial for achieving <em>Rogaharana</em> (elimination of disease) and <em>Swasthyarakshana</em> (preservation of health). Pathya acts as a <em>Prakrutisthapana</em> <em>Upaya</em>, helping to restore and maintain normal physiological balance, whereas <em>Apathya</em> functions as a <em>Nidana</em>, contributing to the initiation and progression of pathological conditions (<em>Vikara</em>).<strong> </strong><em>Pathya-Apathya</em> (wholesome and unwholesome diet and lifestyle).</p> <p><strong>Material and method</strong>- The present study is based on a literary review of <em>Yogaratnakara, Uttarardha- Shoola Chikitsa Adhyaya</em>, from which relevant references and data were systematically collected and analyzed.</p> <p><strong>Result and discussion-</strong> Ayurveda emphasizes <em>Pathya-Apathya</em> as a scientific dietary and lifestyle approach in disease management. <em>Shoola</em> <em>Roga</em> is predominantly a <em>Vata-pradhana</em> disorder, hence <em>Pathya</em> measures are mainly aimed at <em>Vata-Shamana</em> through <em>Snigdha</em>, <em>Ushna</em>, <em>Guru</em> and <em>Vatahara</em> <em>Dravyas</em> that restore normal <em>Vata</em> <em>Gati</em> and relieve pain. Substances like <em>Eranda Taila</em>, <em>Lavana</em> and <em>Lahsuna</em>, along with <em>Deepana</em>-<em>Pachana</em> and <em>Vatanulomana </em>drugs, play a key role in reducing <em>Shoola</em>. Conversely, <em>Apathya</em> <em>Ahara-Vihara</em> that aggravate <em>Vata</em> or <em>Tridosha</em> contribute to the progression of symptoms.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>- Thus, <em>Pathya-Apathya</em> forms an integral therapeutic approach in <em>Shoola Roga</em>, where appropriate diet and lifestyle alone can act as effective <em>Chikitsa</em> by pacifying <em>Vata</em> <em>Dosha</em>. <em>Vata-Shamana</em> through suitable <em>Ahara-Vihara</em> not only alleviates pain but also prevents <em>Dosha</em> <em>Prakopa</em>, <em>Ama</em> formation, and recurrence of the disease.</p> <p> </p>
