Alcoholism, a chronic and debilitating disorder, remains a significant public health concern globally. Defined as a compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol leading to physical and psychological dependence, it manifests through various socio-economic and health-related ramifications. In Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, alcoholism is termed as "Madatya," where "Mad" refers to alcohol and "Atya" denotes addiction or dependency. Ayurveda views Madatya as a disorder affecting both mind (Manasika) and body (Sharirika) constitutions, disrupting the balance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and leading to systemic imbalances. This paper explores the Ayurvedic perspective of Madatya, highlighting its etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and management principles. Ayurveda identifies various factors contributing to Madatya, including psychological stress, genetic predispositions, and societal influences. The treatment approach involves a holistic regimen comprising dietary modifications, herbal therapies, detoxification procedures (Panchakarma), lifestyle adjustments, and psychological interventions aimed at restoring Dosha equilibrium, rejuvenating the body, and stabilizing the mind. Furthermore, the paper discusses the relevance of Ayurvedic interventions in complementing contemporary treatments for alcoholism, emphasizing a personalized and integrative approach to address the complex interplay of physical, psychological, and social factors associated with Madatya. By integrating Ayurvedic insights with modern perspectives on alcoholism, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding and management of this pervasive health issue.
