Trisutra Siddhanta in Kāya Chikitsā: Bridging Traditional Wisdom with Modern Needs

Abstract

The foundational framework of Ayurveda Hetu (cause), Linga (symptoms), and Aushadha (treatment)—collectively known as Trisutra Siddhanta, forms the cornerstone of disease understanding and management. In Kāya Chikitsā (internal medicine), this trisutra remains not only philosophically profound but clinically practical. As modern healthcare increasingly emphasizes root-cause medicine and holistic management, the relevance of this ancient triad resurfaces. This paper explores Trisutra Siddhanta in the context of contemporary science and evaluates its integration with modern clinical practices.
