The specific actions and effects of ''mahabhuta'' in development of various body constituents, organs, systems are described in previous chapter ([[Sharira Sthana]] chapter 4/12). The knowledge of similarity between man and universe can be applied for diagnosis of ailments and their treatments. The ''panchabhautika chikitsa'' system focuses on this principle. E.g. if certain body constituents originated from ''prithvi mahabhuta'' (bones) are disordered, then it can be treated with ''parthiva'' medicines available in the external world ( viz. shells, minerals).
