ABSTRACT

Ayurveda represents a comprehensive medical system that does not merely treat disease, but also promotes a way of life that is based on harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, with the desired outcome ultimately being prevention of disease, through proper diet, daily routines, and regulated lifestyle choices. When Ayurveda diagnoses and treats illness, it does much more than provide relief of symptoms, it emphasizes searching for the root cause of the problems. Ayurveda offers several approaches for identifying root cause of disease and one example of this is Taila Bindu Pariksha. The Taila Bindu Pariksha is a test based on the theory that the behavior of a drop of oil placed in water which indicate the nature and severity of the illness. This prognostic approach greatly affected by various factors such as; shape and size of the testing vessel, size of the oil drop, height from which the drop is released, time interval from the collection of urine to the test and volume of urine, etc. This article explores clinical significance of Ayurvedic prognostic W.S.R. to Tail bindu parikha.
