Purpose:Ayurveda is the manual for human body. It tells how to manage this delicate machine properly. According to Sankhya theory (karya karana vada) behind every karya (action) there is karana (cause). The same theory is applied to cropping up of ailments in human body, where the etiopathology responsible for disease is known as Nidana or hetu. “Sankchheptakh kriya yog nidana pariverjanam” (Su.uttartanra. 1) The Nidana (etiopathological factors) responsible for Amavata like viruddhahara, viruddhachesta, mandagni etc. vitiates Agni and annavaha srotusa (abhyantar rog marga), thus triggering an autoimmune response. As the disease and state of aama progresses the disease afflicts the sandhi (Madhayma rog marga) with kricchasadhya or yapya prognosis.
