Siddhi-sthana’s preamble in the Caraka Samhita opens the final, practical book of a foundational Ayurvedic corpus compiled and redacted in antiquity (from the Agnivesha school; Charaka and later editors, ca. early centuries CE). It frames Siddhi—ensuring cure and enduring health—by laying out principles for securing therapeutic success: proper post-therapy regimens, diet and lifestyle rules, dose and timing, management of complications and treatment errors, prognosis, physician conduct, and individualized care (prakriti). Key themes are prevention of relapse, wholesome recovery (including rasayana/rejuvenation), and ethical clinical judgment. Today its holistic, personalized, prevention-focused approach speaks directly to chronic disease management, rehabilitation, and integrative medicine’s emphasis on safety and long-term wellness.
