ABSTRACT

Ayurveda described a variety of concepts linked to disease diagnosis and treatment. The notion of Nidan panchak is one such Ayurvedic technique that aids in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments. Nidan panchak is a method of disease diagnosis in which causal factors and disease prognosis are used to define disease types. Subtypes of Nidan panchak include Nidan, Purvroop, Roop, Upshaya, and Samprati. The origins of disease include Nidan, followed by first symptoms (Purvroop) and signs (Roop), examination procedures (Upshaya) that aid in right diagnosis, and lastly disease pathogenesis (Samprati) displayed as progressive stage. The diagnosis of sickness is mostly made on the basis of the patient's Prakriti, which is determined by the predominance of Doshas. Because specific etiological causes influence specific Doshas, the relevant Dosha vitiation can be determined by knowing the possible causative factors. Pathological occurrences arise as a result of Ahara-bad Vihara's behaviour, which is mostly caused by food and daily regimen imbalances.
