One of the ancient sciences in this world, Ayurveda includes enormous study material based on observation among the available biodiversity. Among various available literatures, Madhav Nidan by Acharya Madavkara stands tall in terms of understanding specific signs and symptoms of the Diseases and classifying them. This text helps in art of developing observation skill, based on comparison between morphology of a commonly available plant and signs of diseases. In figure of speech such type of comparison is called as Metaphor. A metaphoric revision of Madhavnidan helps a student with poor intellect to understand a specific stage of disease in a simplest teaching method. Illustration of definite plant species for representing a sign related to a disease mentioned in this old literature and comparing it with modern sciences is a need of time. This integrated approach towards health sciences can lead to positive outcomes for medical students and serving population.
