Literature review explores Anupalabdhi's application in diagnostics in Ayurveda, suggesting its importance for clinical practice.
Anupalabdhi, referring to the recognition of absence or non-perception, is an important yet underrepresented concept in Ayurvedic epistemology. Though not explicitly listed among the foundational means of knowledge (pramanas) in Ayurvedic literature, it is implicitly applied in clinical evaluations, especially where the non-appearance of symptoms signifies a patient's recovery or a balanced physiological state. This literature review aims to explore the philosophical foundations of Anupalabdhi in Indian thought, its practical application within Ayurvedic medicine, and its conceptual parallels with modern diagnostics.
