<div style='text-align:justify;'>The critical area of research isthe preparation of a validated and standardized questionnaire for assessingthe different states of kapha, like depletion(kshaya), increase (vriddhi), and normalcy. Guna-based assessment of kaphais needed. Evaluation of muscle and joints in various musculoskeletal disorders through modern scientific tools like MRI(magnetic resonance imaging), fMRI(functional -MRI), PET(Positron emission tomography) Scan,etc. may help in understanding normal and abnormal functioning ofkapha. Assessment of kapha state in various physiological phases of life like pregnancy, lactation, childhood, old age, high altitude, space, deep sea through subjective and objective methods.Assessment through application of molecular biology, proteomics, genomics, microbiome, and metabolomicsis needed.The application of kaphain  peripheral physiology, ergonomics, and biomechanics may become future research of interest. </div>
