       Ayurveda can be defined as a system, which uses the inherent principles of nature, to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.

     Ayurveda theory  is completly  based on the premise that the universe is made up of five elements: air, fire, water, earth and ether. These elements are represented in humans by three "doshas", or energies: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Nadi Pariksha (Diagnostic Theory ):

        It is part of Ayurveda theory , This is the most powerful and accurate Diagnostic Tool for understanding the cause of any faults or Disease in the Human body. Based on Vadic study and research. the normal course of our visit to a doctor, we specify the ailments we feel we are suffering from. Based on this preliminary information,

On the other hand , during the Nadi Pariksha, a person need not have to specify his/her problems in advance to doctor . The Nadi Vidwan is not supposed to know the details in advance as he should not get influenced by the patient’s symptoms.

       Each cell in our body possesses its own intelligence. It is the communication of this intelligence in the form of vibrations that is studied in Nadi Pariksha. Nadi Pariksha understands the vibratory frequency of the Pulse at various levels on the Radial artery. Subtle vibrations are read at seven different levels vertically downward that help in ascertaining various functions in the body.

  

The pulse, when examined, reveals both physical & mental characteristics of the pulse. The accuracy of the pulse reading depends on the intuitive awareness of the individual and also the ability to understand and interpret the subtlety of vibrations. This sensitive awareness determines the success of Nadi Pariksha.

Tri- dosha theory:-

        According to Ayurveda, everything that exists in the universe is made up of the five basic elements; earth, water, fire, air and space (ether). All that exists in the universe, exists within us. A dosha (doṣa), according to Ayurveda is one of the three bodily humors that make up one's constitution. 
These teachings are also known as the Tri-dosha theory. The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humours or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

        Vata dosha is formed when prana mixes with the elements air and space. Vata does all movement. The qualities of Vata are light, dry. Air, quick, and cold. Vata people are very tall or little. They are thin and either tall or short. They have asymmetrical features. 
When Vata people are in balance, they are creative and easily adaptable. When Vata people are out of balance, this leads to fear and anxiety. Vāta or Vata (wind) is the impulse principle necessary to mobilize the function of the nervous system. It affects the windy humour, flatulence, gout, rheumat.

         Pitta, heat is made up of the elements fire and water. Pitta governs digestion, nutrition, metabolism and body temperature. The qualities of Pitta are - hot, sour, pungent, sharp and acidic. Pitta people have strong digestion. Their build is athletic. 
When Pittas are in balance, they are intelligent, cerebral and sharp. When out of balance, they are hot and easily angered. Pittas tend toward rashes. Pitta is the bilious humour, or that secreted between the stomach and bowels and flowing through the liver and permeating spleen, heart, eyes, and skin.

          Kapha  is made up of the elements earth and water. Kapha is our bones, muscles, teeth and everything dense in our bodies. The qualities of Kapha are slow, steady, heavy, oily, and cold. When Kapha people are in balance, kapha people are loving, nurturing and grounded. When out of balance, they are needy and heavy in body and mind. Kapha is the body fluid principle which relates to mucus, lubrication, and the carrier of nutrients.
