Discrete explanation is given regarding aetiology and symptomatology for aforesaid conditions and accounting with vivid characteristic features for each type. This article is a review focussing on scattered references connected Mada-Murcha-Sanyasa in Ayurveda literature, aimed at providing the reader with comprehensive knowledge of Mada, Murcha and Sanyasa for better understanding.
