sanskrit

[Classification of diseases] There are four types of diseases viz. agantuja (exogenous), vataja, pittaja and shleshmaja/kaphaja. All varieties of diseases may be grouped under one classification because pain is common to all. They are again of two types depending on their nature- exogenous and endogenous. They are again of two types - somatic and psychic-depending on the sites of their manifestation i.e. body and mind. Diseases are in fact innumerable (dhatu affected, signs and symptoms), distant causes (like improper diet and regimen), and permutation and combination of various fractions of dosha are innumerable.
