== Types of Vega ==
All the above natural urges of body are categorized into 2 types by Acharya Vagbhata. The basis of this categorization is whether suppressing a particular type of urge is beneficial or harmful for the life. Some of the vegas when forcibly suppressed cause serious imbalances in the body these are called as adharaniya vegas (अधारणीयवेगाः) while some when not suppressed lead to harmful effects thus called as dharaniya vegas (धारणीयवेगाः). The types of vegas and vegas in each category are listed in the table.

वेगधारण परिणाम Effects of suppressing the natural urges
Since the vegas as the name suggests inherently carry the velocity, speed or rapid movement inside the body, those show obvious association with Vata dosha as per Ayurveda. Vata dosha is responsible for all types of movements happening inside the body. Therefore, forcible suppression of these urges is believed to cause obstruction to the flow of vata and lead to its movement in reverse direction along with its aggravation in the body parts in related body parts. Since all the vegas are associated with various systems of body which are also connected with few others, the effects of Vegadharana are visible in all these connected systems. Varied effects of vegadharana have been described by Acharya Charaka,<ref>Charaka Samhita ([https://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/ecaraka/?mod=read&h=vegA Sutrasthanam Adhyayam 7])</ref> Acharya Vagbhata,<ref>Ashtanga Hrudayam ([http://vedotpatti.in/samhita/Vag/ehrudayam/?mod=read&h=vegA Sutrasthanam Adhyayam 4])</ref>
