Three-fold Rogi Pareeksha — Ayurvedic Diagnosis

Trividha pareeksha or three fold diagnosis gives the Ayurvedic practitioner an overall view of the specific conditions of the person and the disease. Darshan (observation), sparshan (touching) and prashna (interrogation) are the three steps of rogi pareeksha that an Ayurvedic practitioner performs to reach an anuman (inference).

Rogi Pareeksha Diagnosing the Person

Ayurveda rogi pareeksha or patient examining is the detailed process of identifying the social, physical and mental conditions of a person that seeks treatment. Rogi pareeksha is a detailed ten-fold process. The physician studies the person as a whole; his/her level of emotional stability, lifestyle, etc are the things to look for.

Roga Pareeksha, Diagnosis Diseases in Ayurveda

There are different methods to follow in roga pareeksha or diagnosing the disease in Ayurveda.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis

Diagnosis in Ayurveda, or identifying the disease(s) affecting a person is an elaborate process. An Ayurvedic physician takes into account condition of both rogi (patient) and roga (disease). It is entirely different from modern allopathic medicine, where medicines are prescribed for disease (roga) only. A medicine for a disease – a side effect – another diseases – another set of medicines and the cycle continues.
