Abstract

The thorough examination of the patient is the first step to be followed for the planning of treatment. There are different types of Rogi Pareekshas that have been mentioned in the classics and Ashtasthana Pareeksha is one among them. The Ashtasthana Pareeksha mentioned by Acharya Yogaratnakara is considered as one of the methods of examination of patient which helps in assessment of eight factors - Nadi, Mutra, Mala, Jihwa, Shabda, Sparsha, Drik and Akriti and their related abnormalities which in turn gives an idea regarding the normal and abnormal changes of these factors in diseased condition. The assessment of these eight factors helps in understanding the changes seen in an unhealthy person and acts as a tool for planning the treatment. Hence the Rogi Pareeksha plays an important role in the diagnosis as well as the treatment.
