    Ayurveda has three broad themes of treatment: elimination therapies, pacification therapies, and nourishing therapies. Elimination therapies include nasal administration, medicated enemas, purgation, and blood letting. Pacification strategies balance doshas through diet, lifestyle, herbs, meditation, and yoga. Nourishing therapies are used to treat strength and emaciation issues. Ayurveda also describes six stages of disease development, and understanding each stage's symptomology enables practitioners to properly diagnose and treat diseases. This knowledge can help prevent serious diseases from developing by addressing early symptoms.

    Ayurveda has three broad themes of treatment.

    These are elimination therapies (shodana or


    Panchakarma), pacification therapies (shamana), and nourishing
    therapies (bhrimana). Panchakarma includes nasal administration for vata, pitta and kapha,
    medicated enemas for vata, purgation and blood letting for pitta, and vomiting for kapha.
    Symptomatic treatment of this type of disease is not effective in bringing a cure. Pacification
    strategies, or balancing with opposites, include diet, lifestyle, herbs, meditation, yoga, and so
    on. Nourishing therapies are used when strength or emaciation issues are being treated.
    The model of disease development in Ayurveda describes six stages. Knowledge of the
    symptomotology of each stage for each dosha enables the practitioner to properly diagnose
    and treat the disease. This knowledge shows how a common cold becoming chronic may
    become asthma or congestive heart failure; or how multiple sclerosis starts with worry,
    constipation and the need to control and ends with degenerative changes in challenged
    nervous tissue. The classification of the western disease scheme manifests in the fourth
    stage of the development of disease according to Ayurveda. This knowledge enables the
    Ayurvedic practitioner to prevent the serious diseases indicated in the western classification
    of disease.
