The current healthcare system focuses on finding out a pathogenic micro-organism that causes diseases. Ayurveda, on the contrary, emphasizes the lacunae or defects in biological systems (kha -vaigunya) that occurred due to various reasons including, improper diet and lifestyle. The defense mechanism or immunity is vital to preserving health and prevent disease. The long-term exposure of weak causes or short-term exposure of potent causes can adversely affect the body channels. This gives a chance to the micro-organisms to overpower immunity, spread their toxins, and cause diseases. In the case of non-communicable diseases, the endogenous causes can cause damage. This article describes the etiology, various types of causes, and their importance in medical practice.
