This chapter focuses on diseases caused due to one vitiated ''dosha''. Considering the fact that there are three distinct one-''dosha'' families of diseases, and various exogenous (''agantuja'') diseases, there could be as many as eighty variants due to a vitiated ''vata'', forty due to ''pitta'', and twenty due to ''kapha''. Any effective diagnosis or treatment of these diseases would need a detailed study of the ''doshas'', their locations and characteristics, which is what has been provided in this chapter.
