Dr. Nikhil Sharma* and Dr. Ritu Narang
ABSTRACT
Upashaya is an Ayurveda approach which helps to figure out nature of diseases, this is the only way to determine the disease's precise nature by trial-and-error basis. The concept of Upashaya helps to relives symptoms and also support in the diagnosis of diseases. The medications, activities and foods can be used to identify and treat diseases. Upashaya is a tool for diagnosis, but it is also possible sometimes that technique not produces desired results. When the disease is not correctly diagnosed, Upashaya applies. Even though medicines, food, and activities are used in Upashaya to diagnose or predict a disease, they can be considered Chikitsa if they are beneficial for particular types of disease. Upashaya may be used as a treatment if the disease's symptoms improve. In contrast, once a disease has been correctly diagnosed, the same medications, foods, and activities can be used to eradicate diseases.
