Introduction
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that focuses on holistic healing. Diagnosis in Ayurveda is based on understanding the root cause of disease through balance and imbalance of body energies (doshas).
Key Diagnostic Methods
- Darshana (Observation): Physical signs like skin color, body posture, eyes, and tongue.
- Sparshana (Touch): Pulse examination, temperature, skin texture.
- Prashna (Questioning): Patient’s history, lifestyle, diet, and emotional state.
Conclusion
Ayurvedic diagnosis aims to find the root cause of illness and customize treatment based on the patient’s body type (prakriti) and doshic imbalance.
