ABSTRACT

Ayurveda explains all disease manifestations in terms of Dosha and Dushyas, both in their normal and abnormal states. Diseases arise due to Nidana, which can be related to Aharaja Nidana and Viharaja nidana. Consequently, in the treatment process, avoiding these causative factors, known as Nidana parivarjana, is emphasized as the primary approach by our Acharya. Furthermore, there are factors that suppress the manifestation of diseases, termed as Vikara vighata bhava, and those that provoke the occurrence of diseases, known as Vikara vighata abhava. The manifestation of a disease depends on the quality of these Dosha and Dushya components. When these elements become imbalanced, such as in the case of imbalanced serum, muscles and blood, etc. it can initiate the onset of a disease. There are certain factors known as Vikarvighatkara abhava that assist in disease manifestation, and there are Vikarvighatkar bhava factors that hinder disease manifestation. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these factors and their practical implications in clinical practice.
