*There are 107 ''marmas'' which are points of ''prana'' (vital energy) and are located in various parts of body. Three of these ''marmas'' - the head, the heart and the urinary bladder - are the most important.

*Clinical pathology involving ''rakta'' (blood), along with analysis of ''dosha'' vitiation, is essential to the diagnosis of diseases of the head.

*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'' disequilibrium 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).

*[[Kapha]], [[pitta]], [[meda dhatu]], [[mamsa dhatu]], [[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.
