These other factors are discussed in the chapters. It also describes dietary regulations, causes of epidemics, basic body systems, acquiring knowledge of disease and patient, and medical education. Quantification of ''dosha'' is the most important factor because their vitiation is cause of all endogenous diseases.  Without measuring the severity of ''dosha'' vitiation, the physician cannot manage the diseases properly.
