Ayurved have its own philosophy for concieving Physiological basis of diseases as of conceived by the Modern Western Medicine. Thousands years before, the practitioners of the Ayurveda, observed the Physiological phenomenon of the body and pathophysiology.

Vyan vata: is existed in whole body. Sapta Dhaut (All Seven Vital Elements) are carried and transferred to the Vital Part of the human body , by holding its own natural action. Acts of contraction, relaxion, spasmodic effects, colic, pain, neuralgia, aches, inflammation, rigidity, paralysis etc. are produced by the Vyan Vayu, when it deranged.

It's misleading to assume that the biomedical model has a superior "resolution" because the technology has provided methods to see much smaller than the eye. Many diagnostic methods, such as the reading of the pulse in Ayurveda, are considered high arts that require perhaps decades to perfect, but could potentially have incalculable value for a practising biomedical physician, should they be able to incorporate it into their practice.

Thus consider that, first, translating these concepts is an ongoing process as Ayurveda and Biomedicine explore each other. Second, translation should not be an attempt to reduce these concepts, but to enrich both sets of knowledge.

Tejas as Oxidation-Reduction

The Element Tejas, may refer collectively to different forms of oxidation-reduction reactions. It's quality of being an "element" may refer more to the ubiquity of such reactions, and the associated the laws of thermodynamics.

Tejas may include such concepts as Heat, Internal Energy, Enthalply, Entropy, Radiant forms of energy

Indeed pitta understood as "biological fire" can encompass so many chemical reactions by virtue of the fact that all burning or oxydation-reduction reactions in the body occur in solution, thus, the "fire" and "water" "elements" of pitta.

The thought of "fire" as an entity or element to be perceived, suggests heat, radiant energy, and temperature changes, and suggests a medical line of inquiry of managing the body's thermodynamics.

Evidence Based Medicine :

The new invention in the field of Basic Principles/Fundamentals and diagnosis of diseases according to Ayurvedic principles is Electrotridoshagraphy for quantification of the status of the principles.The technology will proove the scientism of Ayurveda as an Evidence Based Medicine.

Machine for Panchakarma

CCRAS and IIT New Delhi, innovated new machine for Panchakarma treatment of Ayurveda. The Machine is designed with the ultramodern sensors and is equipped with the all facilities useful for Panchakarma and is users friendly.

Penta Scale

New invented medicines are to be taken in very small quantity. Therefore Penta Scale is introduced for the convenient in the doses. Experiments shows that other Ayurvedic Bhasmas, Rasausadhi etc if taken in Penta scale , they are very effective in their actions.The Penta scale medicine is very convinient to use and is very easy to prepare.

The device is designed to measure the levels of the Ayurvedic Basic Principles (i.e. tridosha, tridosha-bhed, sapta dhatu, malas, agni, oaj, etc) in the human body. An electro-tridosha-gram report can show the levels of these doshas in a variety of formats (i.e. data sheet, graphical) along with traces of ETG readings. Medicine. The technology is supposedly very simple to use.

This is the first and only Ayurvedic whole body scan, with the Ultimate Evidence Based Ayurvedic Diagnosis Solution.

This is hardly news to those of us who have been "priviledged" to have seen what was written up over at the NCH forum. It's almost certainly a case of some nitwit thinking this stuff up while under the influence of Ganges Flu, and all the others nodding along sagely. Because they haven't any more clue than we do, but they don't want to reveal their shortcomings to their peers or the world.

Paging DR. MAS.
 
You have to keep in mind the page is essentially a very thorough description of what looks like a well established practice of medicine in India. I'm not advocating the practice by any means but the page is extremely informative as to the history, practice, and principles. They may be quite short on research results but nonetheless it appears to an entrenched medical practice in India.

You can't counter these beliefs without knowing something about them.
 
Someone could add a section on 'criticisms' - might be a good way to avoid an edit war? Maybe.

btw, is 'crud powder of herbs' a technical term or a Freudian slip ;)
 
Isn't there a "contested" category? I once saw that the article on creationism was contested because someone claimed that it was biased.

Many of the pseudoscience/CAM articles have "criticism" sections, so it would be reasonable to add one to this huge pile of nonsense.

Adding {{NPOV}} or {{totallydisputed}} to the top of the page would be the normal aproach.
