The theory of Ayurvedic science states that each person has a specific combination of bioenergetic principles termed as doshas. The three doshas (tridosha) and the specific dosha represent a distinct physiology process such as ‘vata’ (principle of movement), ‘pitta’ (principle of transformation), and ‘kapha’ (principle of structure). All these doshas are present in the human body in differing proportions based on each individual. Every individual's health is controlled by the inborn magnitude of the three doshas, referred to as ‘prakriti’ or nature. The state of imbalance of these doshas, called ‘vikriti’ (the current state of imbalance of the doshas).To determine the physical and psychological features through the ayurvedic diagnosis, each patient receives ‘prakriti’ and ‘vikriti’ diagnosis. This approach gives a better idea not only the patient status of the disease but also the emotional status of the patient. Based on this approach, the decision of treatment is made by the experts. Ayurvedic therapy includes nutrition, lifestyle, exercise (yoga exercises), mind-body practices (yoga breathing practices), and botanicals. A multimodal approach of ayurvedic diagnosis is being used based on the patient status to enhance the quality of life of the cancer patients .
