VALIDATION OF AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSTIC SCALE TO ASSESS THE IM-PAIRMENT OF DHEE DHRITI AND SMRITI W.S.R. TO MILD COGNITIVE IM-PAIRMENT

According to Ayurveda, a healthy person should have an equilibrium of doshas, good digestive power, the perfect combination of dhatu, good excretory system, the well-organized activity of different parts of the body along with a happy state of Atma, Indriyas and Manas. So, Ayurveda emphasises both physical and mental health. In this research work, an attempt has been made to focus on mental health. In the present era, everyone tries to fulfil all their physical desires; therefore, almost everyone appears to be stressed and confused in these lifestyles. Acharya Charaka has mentioned symptom dhee dhriti Smriti vibhramsha in Ch. Sha. 1/98-101, in which he told Rajas and Tamas that they are the main doshas involved in dhee dhriti Smriti vibhramsha. Modern science has many techniques or scales to diagnose the disease, but our Ayurveda science does not have such a diagnostic scale. The modern diagnostic scale is based on modern concepts. It does not entirely fulfil the Ayurvedic diagnostic view. Therefore, not all Ayurvedic principles are fully incorporated into these scales. Ayurvedic treatment is based on Samprapti Vighatana. So, there is a need to develop an Ayurvedic diagnostic scale as per Ayurvedic concepts of dhee dhriti smriti vibhramsha Samprapti. So, we have tried to develop an Ayurvedic diagnostic scale to diagnose the Dhee Dhriti Smriti Vibhramsha as per Ayurvedic pathogenesis of dhee dhriti smriti vibhramsha.
