Physician's basic work is to examine a patient, make a correct diagnosis and accordingly treat the patient. A fruitful treatment needs a correct diagnosis. To aid the physician in making a correct diagnosis, some methods are depicted in Ayurvedic texts.
The understanding of the total nature of a thing does not arise from a fragmentary knowledge of it. Same is true for a disease. It is only after examining diseases completely and from all aspects that a correct decision regarding diagnosis is arrived at. For this purpose, two triads of assessment of diseases are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. They are called
Trividh Pariksha:
Ist triad: Darshana, Sparshana, and Prashna.
IInd triad: Aptopdesh, Pratyaksha and Anuman.
