===As a tool for teaching and learning methodology===

Pratyakshapramana, being direct perception and experiential type of knowledge, has wide application for both learning and teaching of various concepts of [[Ayurveda]]. One who is able to attain both practical and theoretical knowledge becomes successful physician. [Su.Sa.Sharira Sthana 5/48]<ref name=Susruta/> Thus, a surgeon should dissect the human cadaver to know anatomical aspects of every organ in the body before performing surgeries.  Mere theoretical knowledge cannot  be successful in treatment of the patient and can tend to cause potential harm to the health of patient. [Su.Sa.Sutra Sthana 3/48]<ref name=Susruta/> The importance of practical knowledge of the physician is highlighted. Extensive practical experience (drishtakarma), proficiency in performing different types of procedures (kriyavana) are important qualities of a physician (Vaidya). [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 9/4-6] The education system explained in [[Ayurveda]] is largely based on the direct observational knowledge obtained through the medium of pratyakshapramana. Thus, teaching of [[Ayurveda]] and its principles should be based on the practical application of the concepts. The effect of treatment on the patients, the conditions like [[dosha]]-avastha, vyadhi- avastha should be observed by the students of [[Ayurveda]] themselves to acquire complete knowledge of [[Ayurveda]]. This method can be correlated with the psychomotor domain of the bloom’s taxonomy.<ref>???</ref>
