Ayurveda Padartha Vidyan not just relates to the natural, life
of knowledge but also has a medical aspect. This aspect explains
the knowledge of the criteria and conditions in which the padarth
can be used as medicines and what are the various factors that need
to be kept in mind while judging the medicinal value of the padarth
or any substance.
An illustrating example for this is the mitigation of vata dosha
if the substance is Guru in Guna and Madhura (sweet) in Rasa. Here
Guru Guna and Madhura Rasa are the determining factors useful for
curing Vataj Roga (disease related to Vata Dosha). The criteria
on the basis of which the medicinal value of the substance can be
considered are:
- Dravya
- Guna
- Rasa
- Virya
- Vipaka
- Prabhawa
