Ayurvedic pathology: Bridging the gap between Roga Nidan and Vikriti Vigyan
Alexander Mueller, Sofia L Rodriguez, Emily B Thompson and Leonid Petrov
Ayurvedic pathology, an essential component of traditional Indian medicine, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanisms of diseases and their treatment. Roga Nidan (disease diagnosis) and Vikriti Vigyan (research of pathological conditions) are fundamental to this discipline, offering insights into the origin, progression, and manifestation of diseases. This paper bridges the gap between these two branches, examining their interrelationship and relevance in contemporary healthcare practices. By integrating ancient Ayurvedic principles with modern diagnostic methods, it presents a holistic approach to pathology that not only addresses the root causes of diseases but also provides personalized treatment strategies. The research highlights the importance of diagnostic tools such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis) and other Ayurvedic techniques in identifying the underlying imbalances in the body. Furthermore, the research explores the role of diet, lifestyle, and the mind-body connection in disease management and prevention. Through the lens of Roga Nidan and Vikriti Vigyan, this paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of the Ayurvedic approach to pathology, proposing how it can complement modern diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The integration of both systems offers promising potential for improving patient outcomes by combining the strengths of traditional wisdom and contemporary scientific advancements. This paper also discusses the evolving role of Ayurveda in modern medical research and its potential to bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and modern healthcare paradigms.
