The current scenario is not encouraging in the context of social health. Worldwide, society feels divided over various aspects such as religion, caste, cultures, financial status, etc. Those individuals who represent and govern society have put this world in a difficult situation. When we think about developed, developing and undeveloped countries, the condition worsens increasingly down the scale. The world is divided by different boundaries. People are staying together but mentally they are far away from each other. People have lost their mental peace. In today’s era, health is restricted only to physical and mental health. More and more people are moving away from social and spiritual health. It is thus high time to address these two parameters of health. The social health of a person cannot be addressed without his mental health. Āyurveda provides various guidelines to improve the social health of the individual by upgrading his mental health. After following such guidelines, one can achieve social health. Such socially healthy people will be able to create a healthy society. An attempt has been made in this article to address the social health of an individual by following various concepts like Sadvritta (good conduct and behaviour),(impulses to be held back or sustained), and(behavioural discipline, positive behaviour), etc., described in the ancient Āyurveda texts.
