Ayurveda : Ayurvedic Diagnosis (Nidan) : Anumana in Ayurveda


Anumana in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda the fundamental cause of diseases is imbalance of the three doshas - Vata, Pitta and kapha. The state of balance or equilibrium between these three doshas in the body is called health and the state of imbalance or disequilibrium is disease. There is a wide range of methods in Ayurveda to assess diseases based on their constitution and then prescribe the suitable treatment. The threefold examination or trividh pariksha as it is called, consists of investigation, which is carried out by the three methods.
  • Prashana: Questioning to the patient.
  • Pratyaksha: Objective examination of the patient by direct methods and
  • Anumana :Objective examination of the patient by indirect or inferential methods
The goal or purpose of investigation is to obtain a dear conception of the status of one's bodily strength including resistance (bala pramana).
His accurate pathological condition (dosha pramana)
One's life term (ayu pramana).

Anumana is the anticipation of living beings i.e. the situation where the perceived knowledge is beyond the judgement of our senses we anticipate. Two important things are considered Lingi (matter) and Linga (property). By the means of Linga (property) Lingi is identified. Linga and Lingi has Samya relation (Intimate relation). The medical practitioner uses various indirect factors to diagnose the disease like for example:
  • Strength is determined by capacity for exercise.
  • Sense organs by their clarity of perception.
  • Mind by the power of concentration.
  • Understanding by the purposeful nature of action.
  • Passion by the strength of attachment.
  • Infatuation by the lack of understanding.
  • Anger from the actions of violence.
  • Grief by despondency.
  • Joy by exhilaration.
  • Pleasure from the sense of satisfaction.
