Abstract

Ayurveda gives emphasis on diagnosis of disease before treatment. Examination plays a significant role in diagnosis of the diseases. In Ayurvedic texts there are different type of Rog-Rogi Pariksha i.e., Trividha Pariksha, Saptvidha Pariksha, Ashtavidha Pariksha, Dashavidha Pariksha etc. concept of Nadi Pariksha is found under the Ashatavidha Pariksha described by Yogratnakar, under heading of Rog Pariksha. The name "global capital of hypertension" refers to India. Due to its frequency and associated increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, a chronic illness, is a significant public health challenge. Although essential hypertension is not specifically mentioned in Ayurvedic scriptures, sickness can be explained using these concepts. Raktadushti, which involves the Tridosha and has a strong Vata and Pitta component, is the cause of hypertension. We can determine Nadi in context of Prakruti, Vikruti, status of Doshas, Dhatus, Manas and Suskma Sharira.
