− | | + | <p style="text-align:justify;">The Sanskrit word 'karma' literally means work or action. Karma is one among the six fundamental substances ([[padartha]]). Thus, karma is subject of knowledge and is the cause of all universe. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 1/29] Philosophical and practical approach of karma is described in classics of [[Ayurveda]]. In medical science, it can be understood that inappropriate karma is a cause of diseases. The signs and symptoms of a disease are represented by the action of vitiated [[dosha]]s (karma). Appropriate karma in the form of medical therapies, surgical procedures, etc. forms the treatment protocols. So, karma symbolises tri-aphorism (Trisutra) in [[Ayurveda]] viz. etiology ([[hetu]]), clinical features ([[linga]]) and medicines ([[aushadha]]). [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 1/24] Karma denotes a broad spectrum including action of drugs, or the functions of body systems, [[dosha]] or body tissues, treatment procedures, the outcomes of the previous birth, etc. This article described concept of karma in detail with its practical applications. |
