Ayurvedic Review on Rogi Pariksha Siddhant in Short

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine founded on rational principles and well-established theoretical frameworks, including the concepts of Tridosha, Panchamahabhuta, and the three essential pillars of life. Effective management of diseases in Ayurveda depends on accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate therapeutic planning. For this purpose, several diagnostic methods (Pariksha) are described to identify pathological conditions. These include clinical approaches such as Sparshana (palpation), Darshana (inspection), and Prashna (history taking), along with specific examinations like Mutra Pariksha (urine analysis), Purisha Pariksha (stool examination), Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), and Jihwa Pariksha (tongue examination). Additional observations, including skin color and pupillary condition, also contribute to diagnosis. This article highlights the fundamental principles (Siddhanta) of various Pariksha techniques used for disease identification in Ayurveda.
