Abstract

Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, stands as one of the most comprehensive and time-tested holistic approaches to health and wellness. Central to the philosophy of Ayurveda is the concept of Padartha, which encompasses the fundamental principles and categories that underpin the entire system. This research paper delves into a comprehensive study of Padartha in Ayurveda, exploring its essential concepts and categories and shedding light on their profound implications for healthcare and well-being, providing a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts and categories that form the bedrock of this ancient healing system. Recognizing the significance of Padartha enables practitioners and scholars to appreciate the intricacies of Ayurveda's diagnostic and therapeutic principles, fostering an integrated and holistic approach to healthcare.
