CLINICAL APPLICATION OF DASHVIDHA PARIKSHA

Ayurveda is the science which describe various method to examine the Rogi (patient). These methods are patient friendly because these does not require any complicate procedure and not costly to patient. It is necessary to as- sess the Bala (Strength) of the patient before starting the treatment. The best way to assess the Bala of patient is Dashvidha Pariksha as described by Acharya Charak. If physician does not examine the patient properly, he can give wrong treatment to patient. With the help of Dashvidha Pariksha we can assess the Bala of both Roga (Dis- ease) and Rogi (patient). VikritiPariksha (Examination of disease) is used to assess the Balaof Roga while other nine Pariksha are used to assess the Bala of Rogi (patient). On the basis of assessment of Dashvidha Pariksha physician can plan proper treatment for patient.Keywords: Dashvidha Pariksha, Bala, Roga, Rogi.
