There are four types of diseases viz. ''agantuja'' (exogenous), ''vataja, pittaja'' and ''shleshmaja/kapha''. All varieties of diseases may be grouped under one classification because pain is common to all. They are again of two types depending on their nature- exogenous and endogenous. They are again of two types - somatic and psychic-depending on the sites of their manifestation i.e. body and mind. Diseases are in fact innumerable (dhatus affected, signs and symptoms), distant causes (like improper diet and regimen), and permutation and combination of various fractions of ''doshas'' are innumerable. [3]

While exogenous diseases are caused by nails, teeth bites (of wild animals), fall, malevolent spells, curse, psychic afflictions including assault, piercing, bondage, raping, application of pressure, binding by rope, fire, weapon, thunderbolt, demoniac seizure, and natural calamities. Endogenous diseases are caused by the disturbance in the equilibrium of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha dosha''.[4]

In all the ''vataja'' variety of diseases enumerated, even when the inherent properties of ''vata'' are manifested partially, these are diagnosed and treated as the disorders of ''vata''. For example, while roughness, coolness, lightness, non-sliminess, motion, shapelessness and instability are known to be the typical characteristics associated with ''vata'', there are various other manifestations of the ''dosha'' depending upon the organ it afflicts:

The vitiated ''vata'' should be managed by drugs with a sweet, sour or saline taste, and various unctuous and hot therapeutics procedures  such as oleation, fomentation, inhalation, diet, massage, unction, effusion, non-unctuous and unctuous enema, etc. The administered drugs or procedures should have anti-''vataja'' properties and must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Amongst all the above mentioned procedures non-unctuous and unctuous enema are regarded as the most effective forms of treatment for the management of ''vataja vyadhi'' because enema enters the colon quickly and strikes at the very root of the vitiated ''vata''. Thus, when ''vata'' is overcome in the colon, the disorders of ''vata'' in other parts of the body are automatically alleviated like the tree when cut at the root results in the automatic destruction of the trunk, branches, sprouts, flowers, fruits, leaves etc.[13]

For example, heat, sharpness, liquidity, slight unctuousness, all colours except white and red, fishy smell, pungent and sour taste and fluidity are the specific characters of ''pitta'', but the manifestations of ''pitta'' could be different depending upon the organs they afflict:

Abnormal ''pitta'' disorders should be managed by drugs having sweet, bitter, astringent, and cooling qualities. Any therapeutic modalities administered, such as oleation, purgation, fasting, affusion, massage, etc. should have anti-''pittaja'' properties and must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Of all the above mentioned procedures, purgation is regarded as the most effective mode of treatment for the management of ''pittaja vyadhi''. When ''pitta'' is overcome in the ''amashaya'' through administration of purgative substances, the disorders of ''pitta'' in other parts of the body are automatically pacified just like a fire chamber cools down when the fire is doused.

Abnormal ''kapha'' should be managed using drugs having pungent, bitter, astringent, sharp, hot and dry qualities, and by means of other therapeutic modalities such as fomentation, emesis, evacuation of ''doshas'' from head, exercise etc. that have anti-''kaphaja'' properties and these must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Amongst all the above mentioned procedures emesis is regarded the most effective form of treatment for the management of ''kaphaja'' diseases because immediately after entering the stomach, it strikes at the very root cause of the vitiation of ''kapha''. Thus, when ''kapha'' is overcome in the stomach, any ''kapha''-related affliction in any other part of the body gets pacified automatically quite like the drying up of crops of rice in the absence of moisture when the obstructing ridge of the field is broken.[19]

A physician should first diagnose the disease and then select the proper medicine. Thereafter, he should administer the therapy applying the knowledge of the science of medicine (he had already gained). A physician who initiates treatment without proper diagnosis of the disease can accomplish the desired object only by chance (that is to say he cannot be sure of his success). The fact that he is well-acquainted with the knowledge of application of medicine does not necessarily guarantee his success. On the other hand, the physician who is well-versed in diagnosing disease, who is proficient in the administration of medicines and who knows about modalities to be used in a therapy (that varies from place to place and season to season) is sure to accomplish the desired outcome without any doubt.[20-22]

[23-25]
