Abstract

According to Ayurveda Tridosha and Panchamahabhuta are the functional and structural entity of body so the anatomy, physiology, pathology and treatment are based upon the principle of Tridosha and Panchamahabhut Siddhanta and these principles are formulating the concept of Aayu, Bala, Prakriti and Koshtha. The line of treatment, drug selection, dose determination as well as indication and contraindication of Aahar and Vihar are based upon the above concept. So, a huge study is needed to explore the above concept by the anatomical, physiological, pathological and clinical approach. Out of them the concept of Kohstha can be explore by the study of Koshtha and its anatomical determination, physiology of Koshtha, Koshtha Pariksha and utility of Koshtha in Sodhana and shaman Chikitsa.
