This third chapter within the [[Swastha Chatushka]] (group of four chapters on health) describes guidelines of promotion of health and prevention of diseases. After describing daily and seasonal regimen in the preceding chapters, the natural urges to excrete toxins and maintain internal homeostasis have been described here. Body excretes metabolic waste through external orifices by various regulatory mechanisms. These mechanisms are termed as [[Vega]] (natural urges or processes to excrete toxins i.e. urges). There are thirteen types of physical urges that can be voluntarily controlled up to certain extent. When these urges are voluntarily suppressed for prolonged period, metabolic toxins are accumulated in the body systems leading to various diseases and local obstructed pathologies. A description of such urges (to suppress excretion), the consequences of suppression, and its management have been detailed here. | This third chapter within the [[Swastha Chatushka]] (group of four chapters on health) describes guidelines of promotion of health and prevention of diseases.
