Internet addiction is an emerging disease of a new world. Many of the people who are using smartphones are addicted to internet usage. This problem is not only interfering with their daily routine but disturbing sleep pattern and sometimes psychological behavior also. Ill mental health imparts a significant effect on their physical health. The condition is going to be so worse day by day that now affected persons are seeking medical advice for this problem. Ayurveda, however, does not have the description of this problem in its ancient text but can help in treating such people by using their basic techniques of rehabilitation and mental health solutions.
