Vyadhi vinischaya according to Ayurveda consists primarily of Rogapariksha and Rogipariksha, it gives detailed knowledge about the disease starting from the etiological aspects to the actual manifestation of the disease. The five basic components of Rogapariksha are Nidana, Purvarupa, Rupa, Samprapti, and Upashaya, which are collectively known as Nidana Panchakas. Nidana, the foremost element among them not only gives the knowledge of causative factors but also helps in treatment by avoiding them. “ Shiraso Uttamangatvam1”, Shiras is considered as Prime organ, and also its one among trimarmas, thus special care and concern should be taken to protect it.
