Abstract

Any disease's manifestation is the result of a series of events that start from the interaction of etiological components and end with the appearance of the disease. According to Ayurveda, the three Doshas i.e, Vata, Pitta and Kapha are responsible for every function of the body. But if these Doshas are out of balance for any reason, it can impact Dhatus (body tissues) and lead to various kinds of diseases. Because Doshas are considered to represent the root of disease, it is essential to understand how these Doshas are moving through our bodies at any given time. The terms Kriya and Kala, in which Kriya means treatment and Kala means time, So Shatkriyakala means Appropriate time Periods to take action/treatment. A clear understanding about the stages of Kriyakala is an essential factor for early diagnosis, prognosis and for adopting appropriate preventing and curative measures so to prevent the further establishment of a disease & thereby preventing the complications associated with it which has been emphasised in this article.
