Normally physical and mental faculties of an individual function through the interaction of doshas with dhatus and in this process, malas are formed and excreted out of the body. Health is a delicate balance between dosha, dhatu and mala. The imbalance between these three results in diseases. Mala is the end product of digestion and metabolism and must be excreted out at regular intervals through specific orifices. The elimination process is controlled by voluntary reflex mechanisms. These are known as vega in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]. The word vega is defined by Chakrapani as pravritti meaning action and unmukhatvam meaning those which are intended to get expelled out. The word vega itself suggests tendency to move. These can be voluntarily controlled up to certain extent. However, when there is long term voluntary suppression, specific waste products get accumulated leading to specific diseases. All urges are initiated predominantly by vata and the treatments include alleviation of vata.
