Description
This book delves into the ancient Ayurvedic manuscript Nidanmanjari, discovered at the Anandashrama Sanstha in Pune, which provides invaluable insights into the causes of diseases and their clinical understanding. Rooted in the Vedic tradition, this manuscript is a comprehensive exploration of Nidana (causes of diseases) and the Nidanapanchaka—a five-fold approach encompassing Nidana (cause), Purvarupa (pre-symptoms), Rupa (symptoms), Upashaya (relieving factors), and Samprapti (pathogenesis). The author’s identity remains a mystery, but the manuscript reflects a profound Vedic influence. The book emphasizes the importance of preserving such texts to safeguard the rich knowledge of Ayurveda for future generations.
