Abstract

Ayurveda is a science of life, it has huge history of collection of many things related to basic knowledge about health, preventive measures of diseases and treatment aspects. These are explained in Vedas, Tantras and Samhitas. Initially Ayurveda concepts are in very congestive form and this knowledge transformed from Lord Brahma to other Acharyas without any edition. Later on our Acharyas segregated as per different subjects in the form of Astanga Ayurveda (8 branches of Ayurveda). To understand these concepts again many learning methods are introduced like Nyaya, Tantrayukti, Vadamarga, Upama and many more. Upama is resemblance. The knowledge obtained through similarity or resemblance is known as Upamiti and the media which supports the Upamiti is known as Upamana. Many of the Philosophers and Ayurveda Acharyas accepted as one of the Pramana. It is essential to analyse the principles to have deeper understanding of the Shastra. In this article the important section of Charaka Samhita i.e., Chikitsa sthana is taken to elaborate the Chikitsa principles with respect to Upama.
