VIKRATYATMAKA ADHYAYAYNA (PATHOLOGICAL ASPECT) OF ROGA MARGA

Abstract

Going through the textual references, in order to study Roga marga and mak-ing the idea clear, one can infer that Roga marga this nomenclature is not suggestive of any anatomical that is rachanatmaka or only srotass or Dhamani vachaka but its indication is towards something else. Some of the expert Ayurvedic physician believes that the descrip-tion of Roga Marga is nothing but a special type of disease classification. Such a classifica-tion is again unique in comparison to Modern’s systemic classification of disease. The sys-temic classification does not give any contribution in the field of prognosis and management whereas it is not so in the case of Ayurvedic classification of diseases in terms of Roga Marga. The systemic classification is based on the Anatomical and physiological continuity, whereas not always the organs of a particular Roga Marga have anatomical attachment. e.g. Madhyama Roga Marga. The connection between the organs of a particular Marga is evi-dent pathologically, hence termed as Roga Marga
