Other important stages of diseases are subclinical or latent or dormant (lina dosha avastha) and clinical or manifested phase (vyakta dosha avastha). In former phase, the [[dosha]] stay dormant in the koshtha or in the circulatory channels. They manifest clinical features in favorable season, environment, region, etc. This leads to clinical phase. This stage is important to know, especially in allergy and other autoimmune pathologies, which exhibit seasonal flare-ups.

The ideal mealtime is when the bowel and bladder has been evacuated, the chest is clear, the [[dosha]]s are optimum, the belching does not reflect any undigested food, sequentially followed by hunger, [[vata]] is in its normal direction, when the [[agni]] is well kindled, the senses are intact and open to perception, and lightness is perceived in the body.
