*Diseases of the head and the heart can be identified according to the dominance of a ''dosha'' (or multiple ''doshas'') and diagnosed as per their etiology and symptomatology.

*Various permutation and combinations of increase and decrease of ''dosha'' can occur inside the body affecting the physiological functions.

• Tridoshika disequlibrium is a precursor to diseases and their pathogenesis varies with level of vriddhi (increase) or kshaya (decrease) and a typical permutation or combination of such doshas can lead to different manifestations of the disease.

• Increased and decreased states of dosha and vitiation of a particular dosha depends upon the exposure to causative factors in diet and lifestyle.

• The increased or decreased dosha state can be identified by clinical appearance of their increased or decreased functions. Thus clinical diagnosis based on observations is more important than pathological or radiological investigations.

• A normal dosha can also exhibit some signs. Increased vata can pull normal pitta and kapha away to places other than their normal location to manifest their own features there.

• Ojas is the first substance formed in a living being and the sustenance of life depends upon the quality and quantity of ojas. Death can occur due to destruction of ojas.

• kapha, pitta, meda, mamsa, ojas and obstructed vata are important pathogenic factors in madhumeha (diabetes).

• Diseases can occur due to different states or movements of dosha like increased or decreased state, upward or downward movements, or movement from center of body to periphery or to vital centers. This also depends upon the environmental and seasonal changes.

• Digestion, temperature  and heat in the body is mainly controlled by pitta. Strength of body depends upon kapha. Whereas vata is responsible for all movements and and vitality.
