Brief Summery: Ayurveda aims at prevention and cure of diseases. Acharya Sushruta defined “Aarogya†as equilibrium or balanced state of dosha, agni, dhatu and mala, pleasant state of atma, indriya and mana is healthy state. [1] The basic concept of Ayurveda is doshman. This Siddhanta provides fundamental knowledge for understanding of the theories of Ayurveda regarding Ahara pachana, Dhatu Utpatti,Vyadhi Utpatti, Ayu parigyana etc. With the help of that particular doshman, the body gets its samprapti by serial development of diseases. This can be understood in the terms of dosh how its vitiated and what are the possible management of it. It is quite clear that we simple approach the symptoms so that even don’t need to be having whole disease management, therefore a Vaidya should always take care of doshman which is least examined in course of treatment Any disturbance in the equilibrium of dosh is known as disease and on the other hand the state of their equilibrium is health. [3] According to charak Samhitas “kaphavruddhi†is the basic cause for kaphjanya pathogenesis of disease. [4] 2.Literary review:- a) Concept review:- The concept of ras-dosha sambhandh is unique [4] and if one wan to manage the disease we must know pre-symptoms, sign and symptoms, upshay, sankhya, pradhanya, vidhi, vikalp, bal, kal vishesh, type of samprampti then we one know dosh as first priority, later aushdh, desh kal,bal, sharer, sar ahar, satmya, satwa. A vaidya must know all by just how it’s vitiated at extent it vitiated, treatment of any disease and symptoms is purely depedent on doshman.then its very easy to manage every thing. Acharya Charak has mentioned that before management one should follow type of dosha which is involved in samprapti. By just knowing the exactly at what extent its vitited or mitiated. In rasviman addhay[6], Acharya charaka mentioned that, ekek dosha its to be formed by ek ek ras in the process of digestion. While katu, kashay and tikta ras aggrevates vatdosha, madhur amla lavan mitiates vaatdosha. Katu amla lawana ras aggrevates pittadosha while madhur tikt kashay mitiates pitta dosha, madhur amla and lawan ras aggrevates the kapha dosha while katu tikta kashay mitiates kapha dosha. [5] This main principle of management of disease by simple way approaches its pre- symptoms and symptoms. STUDY RATIONALE Doshman of any disease is simple way to approach a disease. Doshman gives a idea at what extent dose samprapti of dosha happens. There is co-realation between ras and dosh. Dravya are classifies o the basis of their ras-dosh prabhav. It’s extent of choosing for management of disease. 1) In ayurveda we should follow the ras-dosh relation without knowing samprapti. 2) Dravya take part into action with pradhan ras, dravya acts by ras parbhav and hence use of Kaphashamak ras is treat the kaphavruddhi in any disease. 3) Kaphashamak ras and its sanyog is best treatment for kaphavruddhi lakshans. 4) Kaphashamak ras and its sanyog acts by its panchbhautik sanghtan and act on kaphavruddhi. Production of excess “kaph†a main cause of sickness due to kaphavruddhi, root cause of all diseases is kaphavruddhi its simple to treat by selecting type of ras dravya. Ahar Hetu Vitiation of dosha by ras kaphavruddhi dosh utpatti kaphavruddhi janya lakshan utpatti kaphavruddhi janya vicar utpatti Thus deciding the dosh man which vitiated which affects body balance is of prime importance, to assess healthy and unhealthy state. Subjective parameters for assessment of kaphavruddhi mentioned in classical text.
