− | In continuation of the previous chapter, this chapter delves into classifications of various diseases. Diseases have been broadly classified here into two groups – one comprising of diseases manifesting as a result of involvement of two or more doshas (“Samanyaja Vyadhi”), while the other focusing on diseases caused due to a single dosha (“Nanatmaja Vyadhi”). Forty eight diseases have been enlisted with their types from diagnostic perspective in this chapter. The role of doshas in etiopathogenesis of the diseases, difference between the exogenous and endogenous diseases and their coexistence has also been described. In modern medicine, classification and knowledge of these diseases differs. Some diseases described in this chapter can be exactly correlated with diseases of modern medicine whereas some cannot be. | + | In continuation of the previous chapter, this chapter delves into classifications of various diseases.
