Abstract: When the doshas are no longer serving as a physiological function,


they become disturbed and they craft symptoms. In Western medicine these disturbances
would be recognized as non-specific in origin.  As the doshas start to become rebellious
in the system, they go through six different stages that can be easily recognized through
observation, questioning and also with the use of biochemical and diagnostic aids. Let us
dive deep into these six stages to achieve a comprehensive knowledge of diagnosis,

As we all are familiar with the 6 stages

1. Chaya
2. Prakopa
3. Prasara
4. Sthanasamshraya
5. Vyaktha
6. Bheda

Vedic insight furnishes us to appreciate the connotation of our daily life. Even the trivial
discomfort can tune us into a doshic imbalance. Trivial doshic changes are pre-pathological
conditions. First, the dosha gets tainted and deranged and then starts affecting the dhatus. The
word dosha literally translated means that which blot.  When the doshas are no longer serving
as a physiological function, they become disturbed and they craft symptoms. In Western
medicine these disturbances would be recognized as non-specific in origin.
