*There are 107 ''marmas'' which are points of ''prana'' (vital energy) and are located in various parts of body. Three of these ''marmas'' - the head, the heart and the urinary bladder - are the most important. | *There are 107 ''marmas'' which are points of ''prana'' (vital energy) and are located in various parts of body. Three of these ''marmas'' - the head, the heart and the urinary bladder - are the most important. | ||

*Clinical pathology involving | *Clinical pathology involving [[rakta]] (blood), along with analysis of [[dosha]] vitiation, is essential to the diagnosis of diseases of the head. | ||
*Diseases of the head and the heart can be identified according to the dominance of a | *Diseases of the head and the heart can be identified according to the dominance of a [[dosha]] (or multiple [[dosha]]) and diagnosed as per their etiology and symptomatology. | ||
*Various permutation and combinations of increase and decrease of | *Various permutation and combinations of increase and decrease of [[dosha]] can occur inside the body affecting the physiological functions. | ||
*''Tridoshika'' disequilibrium is a precursor to diseases and their pathogenesis varies with level of ''vriddhi'' (increase) or ''kshaya'' (decrease) and a typical permutation or combination of such | *''Tridoshika'' disequilibrium is a precursor to diseases and their pathogenesis varies with level of ''vriddhi'' (increase) or ''kshaya'' (decrease) and a typical permutation or combination of such [[dosha]] can lead to different manifestations of the disease. | ||
*Increased and decreased states of | *Increased and decreased states of [[dosha]] and vitiation of a particular [[dosha]] depends upon the exposure to causative factors in diet and lifestyle. | ||
*The increased or decreased | *The increased or decreased [[dosha]] state can be identified by clinical appearance of their increased or decreased functions. Thus clinical diagnosis based on observations is more important than pathological or radiological investigations. | ||
*A normal | *A normal [[dosha]] can also exhibit some signs. Increased [[vata]] can pull normal [[pitta]] and [[kapha]] away to places other than their normal location to manifest their own features there. | ||
* | *[[Ojas]] is the first substance formed in a living being and the sustenance of life depends upon the quality and quantity of [[ojas]]. Death can occur due to destruction of [[ojas]]. | ||
* | *[[Kapha]], [[pitta]], [[meda dhatu]], [[mamsa dhatu]], [[ojas]] and obstructed [[vata]] are important pathogenic factors in ''madhumeha'' (diabetes). | ||
*Diseases can occur due to different states or movements of | *Diseases can occur due to different states or movements of [[dosha]] like increased or decreased state, upward or downward movements, or movement from center of body to periphery or to vital centers. This also depends upon the environmental and seasonal changes. | ||
*Digestion, temperature and heat in the body is mainly controlled by | *Digestion, temperature and heat in the body is mainly controlled by [[pitta]]. Strength of body depends upon [[kapha]]. Whereas [[vata]] is responsible for all movements and and vitality. | ||
