To maintain and to achieve good health, Ayurveda ex- plains many concepts such as Ahara Vidhi Vidhana, Sadvrutta, Dinacharya, Rtucharya and also Oushadha sevana. In Ahara vidhi vidhana and Oushadha sevana, Acharyas have ex- plained many methods such as intake of proper Anupana before or during or after the con- sumption of food or medicine. By the Yukti of Vaidya, a specific Anupana with specific dravya gives specific effect in specific doshas and rogas of a rogi. With different Anupana a single Oushadha dravya can be given in different rogas like Pandu, Grahani, Arshas, Kasa, Swasa etc., to get beneficial effects which emphasize the importance of Anupana. Apart from Bhaishajya kala, Anupana is the one which is necessary to be followed while prescribing a drug and now-a-days it is as such not followed. So here a brief study of Anupana and how it has been given importance from historical path is ruled out. There are various Anupanas which are used according to different conditions like doshas, diseases, type of medicinal preparation (churna, kashaya, kalka etc.,) and time of taking drug.

But westernization of our culture is giving rise to life style disorders like diabetes, cardio vas- cular elements, High cholesterol, Hypertension, stroke, depression2. These diseases were explained in Ayurveda compendia’s but in this era they have raised to such a level that 25% of Indians may die of these lifestyle diseases before they are of age70.These diseases are also called as of civilization or diseases of longevity. Certain diseases like diabetes, dental caries or asthma are propagating in young generation specially living western way. Western life style includes less activity, less manual labori- ous work, access to much appealing but unhealthy food, late night work4. If the factors involved in pathogenesis of these lifestyle disorders are reviewed on the basis of Ayurveda science, the symp- toms show agni dushti, kapha dushti, mansavaha and medovaha dushti.
