DMIHER Wardha Hosts an Online Lecture on Evaluating Formulations from Charaka Samhita
The event organized by the Department of Kayachikitsa brings together undergraduate and postgraduate students under the coordination of MGACH&RC Salod and DMIHER University.
The topic of the online meeting is “Clinical Evaluation of Charaka Formulations in Kayachikitsa,” and the event is coordinated by the Department of Kayachikitsa at MGACH&RC.
The event introduces future Ayurvedic practitioners to a subject of major importance in the clinical study of classical Ayurvedic texts, creating an educational connection between Ayurvedic tradition and contemporary approaches to Kayachikitsa within an international university setting.
The lecture highlights that evaluating the formulations described in the chapters of Chikitsa Sthana in the Ayurvedic work Charaka Samhita has its methodological foundation in Vimana-Sthana, considered one of the most reliable ways to understand the transition from diagnosis to treatment.
Through the ten parameters of accurate Ayurvedic diagnosis, the twelve factors preparing for appropriate Ayurvedic treatment, and the relationship between rasa (taste) and the dosha (vital forces), the presentation seeks to demonstrate how orderly, applicable clinical reasoning is developed.
The presentation also emphasizes inhibitory and enhancing factors, the importance of the recipient's condition, the value of post-digestive effect (vipaka), and the role of the Ayurvedic principle of predominance (pradhanya) when assessing formulations appropriate to the dynamics of pathological processes.
