Abstract

Ayurveda is the science of life that focusses on both prevention and cure of diseases. Its wisdom is rooted in various theories and principles, among which Samanya-Vishesha Siddhanta is fundamental. Samanya refers to similarity, while Vishesha denotes dissimilarity; by applying this principle, Ayurveda effectively cures many ailments through the balance of similar and opposing qualities. Some factors deficient in body corrected by substituting with substances similar in character (Samanya). Some factors excess in body, reduced by supplying dissimilar substance [Vishesha]. Thus, specific Dravyas, Gunas and Karmas are employed to treat various diseases and maintain the balance of Doshas, Dhatus, Mala.
