Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Health may be defined as the ability to adapt and manage physical, mental and social challenges throughout life15 . Ayurveda is mainly concerned with preventive aspect of health. The goals of medicine are to promote health, to preserve health, to restore health when it is impaired and to minimize suffering and distress14 . In Ayurveda, aetiopathogenesis of disease i.e progression of disease is explained in six stages termed as shatkriyakal and those are Sanchaya, Prakopa, Prasara, Sthanasamshraya, Vyakat, Bheda. A clear understanding about the stages of Kriyakala is an essential factor for early diagnosis, prognosis and for adopting preventing and curative measurement. Sanchaya and the other five stages develop one after the other successively and become stage of evolution of disease process known as Rogasamprapti (pathogenesis). During these stages the Doshas gets aggravated, brings about abnormalities in Doshas, Dhatus, Malas and Ojas. The number and severity of the symptoms and the curability or incurability of the disease depends upon severity of such vitiation. So in present era Shatkriyakala can be understood as cellular injury, which is the common representation in almost all the diseases. Cell injury is defined as an alteration in cell structures or biochemical functioning resulting from stress that exceeds the ability of the cell to compensate through normal physiological adaptive mechanism2 . Hence a great emphasis has been laid on a clear understanding of these six progressive stages of disease.
