Abstract
Background : Ayurveda has mentioned various diagnostic methods by examination of various body constituents. Ayurveda has used various qualitative diagnostic tools such as Dashavidha pariksha, Ashthavidha pariksha, etc. Purisha Mala pariksha was one of the ancient diagnostic tools used for understanding the diagnosis of various diseases. Mala pariksha helps in the detailed diagnosis of diseases and also has a major role in the treatment of various diseases. Another tool for detecting the status of Agni and the presence of Ama is Jala Nimajjana Purisha Mala Pariksha. In this Pariksha, Purisha mala is dipped in water, and then it is observed whether it sinks in water or not. This helps for the diagnosis of ama and nirama condition of purisha mala. Purisha mala pariksha is very simple and economical. If this method is tested and correlated with modern parameters, then it would be a gold standard for diagnosis and understanding the prognosis of diseases. Methods: Literary review of the importance of purisha mala pariksha in diagnosis and prognosis of diseases from ayurveda samhitas. Results: After detailed study of various references of purisha mala pariksha, we can say that purisha mala pariksha is important for diagnosis and to understand the prognosis of various diseases. Discussion: Purisha mala pariksha is an old method used by acharyas for diagnosis of various diseases and also to understand the prakruti and Agni i.e, physiology and pathology and also to treat various diseases.
