A patient is diagnosed using three primary methods, which are as follows:

• Darsana Pareeksha or observing the physical attributes of the patient
• Prasna Pareeksha or asking relevant questions to the patient
• Sparsana Pareeksha or physically examining the patient

Depending on the symptoms, a specific Ayurveda treatment will be advocated. The main types of Ayurveda Therapy or treatments employed are Shama Chikitsa or Alleviating Therapy and Sodhana Chikista or Purification Therapy.

Shama Chikitsa uses herbal medicines to restore an imbalance that may occur in any of the doshas. Sodhana Chikista focuses of removing any toxic elements that may be present in the body due to various metabolic processes. This is done by employing various purification therapies to re-balance the body.

Ayurveda Therapy has many methods to improve the complete and total well-being of the individual. Some of them are Ayurveda Diet, Ayurveda Massage, Pancha Karma, Ayurveda Aromatherapy, Colour Therapy and Gem Therapy.
