DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES IN AYURVEDA
DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES IN AYURVEDA
There are so many things in diagnosis of a patient in Ayurveda Treatment. Here under given the details:
1. Examination of the patient
2. Causes of disease, or nidana
3. Early signs and symptoms, or purvaroopa
4. Main signs and symptoms, or roops
5. Exploratory therapty, or upasaya
6. The production of disease, or samprapti
7. Clinical examination or the patient
1. Examination of the patient: Ayurveda believes that the imbalance of vata, pitta and kapha doshas causes disease. As long as these three remain in complete harmony, the body is normal, but as soon as they become imbalanced, the disease follows. The examination of the patient consists of the following methods of diagnosis.
2. Causes of disease : (nidana) : It is important to assess the causes of disease in order to understand the illness, to select remedial measures, and, of course, to prevent recurrence. If the causes remain after therapy has been initiated, the response will be quite unsatisfactory and recurrence will take place. On the other hand, if the causes are understood proerly, it is possible to remove them, assisting recovery.
3. Main signs and symptoms : (roopa) : The signs and symptoms of the fully developed disease reveal which doshas are involved, as well as the intensity and prognosis of the disease.
4. Exploratory theratpy : (upasaya) : This includes measures such as medicine, diet, and routines to help identify diseases that are otherwise difficult to diagnose. These measures either act directly against the cause of the disease, or the disease itself, or they produce relief. For instance, if a swelling is alleviated by a massage with oily and hot things, the swelling is caused by imbalance of vata.
5. The production of diseases : ( samprapti) : The imbalance of the doshas and the course that they follow to cause disease is termed as samprapti, or patho-genesis.
6. Clinical examination of the patient : Clinical examination of the patient is important for correct diagnosis and treatment of disease. Many people are reluctant to reveal fully their symptoms and personal problems, so the physician has to gain the patient's confidence through suitable conversation and appropriate clinical examination in order to treat the patient successfully.
Textual knowledge, direct perception and inference are all important to clinical examination. These three should be methodically and meticulously used in order to examine the patient and to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
Textual knowledge and our understanding of medicinal preparations helps us to interpret diseases that have been studied in detail for centuries - for example, their exciting causes, involved doshas, complaints, symptoms, physical signs, prognosis and diagnosis.
Knowledge obtained through the patient's own perceptions and experience also helps the physician. This includes the patient listening to their body, inspection and palpation.
Inference usually involves assessing the strength of the patient digestive fire, clarity of sense organs and the capacity of understanding. Examination of patients may involve the tenfold examination (dasha vidha pariksha) and/or the eight fold (ashtavidha pariksha). These help to evaluate the strength of the patient of the disease.
