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.
