sanskrit

The specific types of diseases have been previously described; they are generally classified into three categories: curable, manageable, and to be rejected. Among these, they should be further examined in three ways: whether the disease is of the type caused by an external factor, is a prior condition, or has different symptoms. External Factor Disease: This is a disease that arises from a prior condition and manifests as a result of an external influence; it is termed as such if the cause is an external disturbance. Prior Condition Disease: This is a disease that originates from a previous condition, presenting new symptoms and lacking external disturbance. Different Symptoms Disease: This is a future disease that will appear with specific symptoms; it is identified based on its future characteristics. Among these: For External Factor Disease, treatment should proceed considering the active external factor and its effects. For Prior Condition Disease, it should be treated as per its nature. For Different Symptoms Disease, one should make efforts based on the initial symptoms.
