In Ayurveda, the diagnosis procedures are two-pronged. One aims to establish the state and type of pathology and the second decides the mode of treatment. It is done through a holistic assessment of health. The Vaidya will have a look at the whole picture of the patient's health and try to achieve a full understanding. They observe, palpate, and interrogate the patients. The Vaidya determines the doshas or body constitution, the health of Dhatus (tissues), the strength of digestive fire, immunity, and as well as mental harmony. This involves asking extensive questions on a topic like a lifestyle, diet, personal and professional life, medical history, and any current problems. After knowing the constitution of the body through extensive examinations, the Vaidya will get an insight that which of the doshas are most likely to be in excess and which therapies and treatment plan will best suit the patient.
