The Eight-Fold Ayurvedic Assessments

Pulse Examination( Nadi Pariksha), Tongue Analysis (Jihva Pariksha), Urine Examination ( Mutra Pariksha), Eye Examination ( Netra Pariksha), Skin-Examination (Sparsha Pariksha), Feces examination (Mala Pariksha), Sound Examination (Shabdha Pariksha) and General Appearance Examination (Akriti Pariksha) are the eight-fold Ayurvedic assessments. Let’s discuss that.

1 — Pulse Examination( Nadi Pariksha)

By checking your pulse, an Ayurvedic practitioner can assess your physical constitution or Dosha. Not only that, but a proper pulse diagnostic can also inform you of any health issues that may arise in the future as a result of your present food and lifestyle, allowing you to take preventative measures.

2 — Tongue Analysis (Jihva Pariksha)

A practitioner examines to see a tongue that is scalloped or wavy. This condition indicates an underlying health condition, such as vitamin deficiency, low hormone levels. A proper tongue examination can assist in determining your body’s current state and what diseases you may have.

3– Urine Examination ( Mutra Pariksha)

Examination of urine samples and analysis reveals a lot about a person’s health. The colour of the urine, darker yellow or amber colour can indicate whether or not someone is sufficiently hydrated, whereas pain or discomfort can suggest a problem. The colour of urine also may be a symptom of any disease.

4-Eye Examination ( Netra Pariksha)

Eyes indicate a great deal about a person’s health. The size, shape, dryness, and contour of the eyeball can indicate a lot about a person’s bodily imbalances. Eyes that are sunken and dry can be caused by Vata aggravation. They can turn red or yellow as a result of Pitta exacerbation. They can become wet and watery as a result of Kapha aggravation.

5- Skin-Examination (Sparsha Pariksha)

Throughout the examination, the Ayurvedic expert takes an assessment of your skin according to your body constitution. The skin of a Vata aggravated person is rough with a low temperature, a pitta influenced person has a high temperature, and a Kapha dominant person is cold and damp.

6- Faeces Examination (Mala Pariksha)

A stool examination can reveal a lot about a person’s digestive health. If digestion and absorption of food are inadequate, the stool smells a foul odour and sinks into the water. The stool is hard, dry, and grey/ash in colour, indicating that Vata is aggravated. Excess pitta turns it green/yellow in colour. And mucus in stool with strong Kapha.

7-Sound Examination (Shabdha Pariksha)

The way a person speaks can reveal a lot about body imbalances. When all doshas are in balance, a healthy person’s voice will be natural. When Kapha is aggravated, the voice becomes heavy, cracked when Pitta is aggravated, and gruff when Vata is aggravated.

8 — General Appearance Examination (Akriti Pariksha)

The imbalances in the Doshas can also be seen on a person’s face. This aids Ayurvedic practitioners in diagnosing diseases.
