Author : Dr. Sonam Yadav, Dr. Krishna Kumar Tiwari and Dr. Meenakshi Chauhan
Abstract :
The science of a complete lifestyle is Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a science that addresses both therapeutic and preventive aspects. A key factor in the development of any new science is siddhanta. Numerous siddhantas exist in Ayurveda as well, providing a solid basis for the development and continuation of this branch of life science. The Samhitas have addressed the primary goals of Ayurveda, namely swasta palana and aura upachara, based on these siddhantas. In Roga Bhishak Jitiya Adhyaya of Vimana Sthana, Acharya Charaka describes the idea of Siddhanta. These can be broadly divided into four categories: Abhyupagama, Siddhanta, Adhikarana, Pratitantra, and Sarvatantra. Here, an attempt is made to comprehend and divide the many Ayurvedic siddhantas into these four groups.
