The concept of ojas is very unique to Ayurveda. Even though ojas is considered as a quintessential part of the existence and well being of an individual, the concept is still ambiguous to the society. Ojas is said to be the essence of the dhatus, and it is respobsible for the maintenance of body. Depletion of Ojas has many ill effects on the mental and physical aspect of an individual and may even lead to death. Rapid changes in the modernization of culture, fast growing technologies and changing lifestyle have enabled man to cross unimaginable boundaries. At the same time, it has brought harmful effects on human body. The growing pace has paved way to new breed of disorders ,which has a dreadful impact on the society. It has been the main reason behind dreadful health condition. Recent surveys show that there is 57% rise in work related stress in India In Ayurvedic classics while describing the causes of vitiation of ojas psychological conditions such as anger, tension, sorrow, exhaustion following exertion is mentioned. Even in Ojakshay lakshana acharyas have described the symptoms like fear, debility, unstable mind, cheerlessness, execessive worry etc. Such symptoms are even found in individuals who are suffering from stress. Till date there has been no study done to assess the status of ojas in stressed individuals .
