Abstract

Traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda, has a unique and holistic approach to understanding and treating diseases. Central to Ayurvedic diagnostics is the classification of diseases into two primary categories: Samanyaja and Nanatamaja Roga. This article provides an in-depth exploration of these classifications and their significance in Ayurvedic medicine. Samanyaja Roga refers to diseases arising from an imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—while Nanatamaja Roga encompasses diseases with diverse etiologies. By exploring the etiology, diagnostic methodologies, and treatment strategies associated with these Rogas, this abstract provides a foundational understanding of Ayurveda's approach to health and disease. The management of Samanyaja Rogas centers on restoring doshic equilibrium through tailored dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, herbal formulations, and rejuvenative therapies such as Panchakarma. Contrastingly, Nanatamaja Rogas necessitate the elimination of causative agents, followed by immune-enhancing treatments and revitalization. This article delves into the core principles underlying these classifications, highlighting their pivotal role in Ayurvedic diagnostics and treatment strategies. Understanding Samanyaja and Nanatamaja Roga is pivotal for both practitioners and those interested in embracing Ayurveda's holistic approach to healthcare. This abstract provides a glimpse into how Ayurveda's nuanced classifications offer unique insights into health and well-being.
