Abstract

Ayurveda is an ancient science that tells us to maintain a healthy life, along with curing ailments. All medical graduates need to study research methodology and medical statistics to complete the graduation. We need to correlate Ayurvedic terminologies and concept with the modern terms and concepts to conduct research, which will results in the globalization of Ayurveda. Correlation is one of the topics from statistics, and examples along with the same concept are found in Ayurvedic classics. Correlation from biostatistics can be compared with the Ashraya - Ashrayi Bhava from Ayurveda. There is a moderately positive correlation between Pitta Dosha and Rakta, Pitta and Sweda. There is a moderately positive correlation between Kapha Dosha and Rasa Dhatu, Kapha and Mamsa Dhatu, Kapha and Meda Dhatu, Kapha and Majja Dhatu, Kapha and Shukra Dhatu, Kapha and Mutra Mala, Kapha and Purisha Mala. There is a moderately negative correlation between Vata Dosha and Asthi Dhatu, Vata Dosha and Kapha Dosha. This will help research scholars from Ayurveda to write proper words in the research project. Thus, it is concluded that statistical terms and concepts are elaborated in the Ayurvedic classics having almost same meaning, and only the language is different.
