This third chapter within the ''Swastha Chatushka'' (health tetrad) describes ways of promotion of health and prevention of diseases. After describing daily and seasonal regimen in the preceding chapters, the evolution of 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 grossly described as ''vegas'' (movements to excrete toxins i.e. urges). These urges are of thirteen types and can be voluntarily controlled up to certain extent. When these urges are voluntarily suppressed for prolonged period, various diseases can originate due to accumulation of toxins and local obstructed pathologies.  A description of such urges (to suppress excretion), the consequences of suppression, and its management have been detailed here.
