Abstract

Ayurveda has evolved with the inputs from the then existing philosophical thoughts and has modified so as to suit its purpose. Satkaryavada (Theory of Existence) and Asatkaryavada (Theory of Non-existence) are two basic philosophical theories explain the concept of causality. The concept of causality is the base of the diagnosis and management of diseases in accordance to Ayurveda principles. Therefore these two principles have been used to understand the Ayurveda concepts of Prakruti Sama Samaveta and Vikruti Vishama Samaveta. The Prakruti Sama Samaveta and Vikruti Vishama Samaveta form the foundation of diagnosis and treatment principle of Ayurveda.
