THE ROLE OF TRISUTRA SIDDHANTA IN INTERPRETING GRAHANI VYADHI: A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW

Grahaṇi is a major functional disorder of the gastrointestinal system described in Ayurveda, primarily rooted in the derangement of Agni, and the vitiation of Doshas. The classical Trisutra Siddhanta—Hetu (cause), Linga (symptoms), and Aushadha (treatment)—described by Acharya Charaka acts as a universal framework for understanding disease pathology and clinical management. Applying this theoretical foundation to Grahaṇi allows a systematic comprehension of its etiopathogenesis, symptomatology, and therapeutic approach. This study aims to analyse Grahaṇi through the lens of Trisutra Siddhanta, highlighting the clinical relevance of this ancient methodology in modern Ayurvedic practice.
