Abstract

Rogamarga is the unique speciality of Ayurveda which means the pathway of diseases. The Rogmarga act as passage for movement of Doshas and site of amalgamation for morbid Doshas and Dushyas (body tissue). It is essential to understand pathological process involved in manifestation of disease. The normal relationship between Rogmarga, Doshagati and dhatu formation is responsible for health status of individual and any disturbance in the same is responsible for morbidity. Hence, the concept of Rogmarga is vital to understand patho-physiology of body systems. It has diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic utility both in acute and chronic disease.
