Abstract: Life's science is ayurveda. The shodhana chikitsa includes the panchakarma procedure. Because a disease that is treated with shodhana therapy will never recur, shodhana chikitsa is preferable to shaman chikitsa. The Panchakarma assessment factors are Koshtha, Agni, and Bala. There are two ways to define the word "koshtha." The nature of the digestive tract or hollow body parts, known as koshtha, represents the movement of food and faeces in the alimentary canal as well as the elimination of stool. The most crucial Panchakarma procedure is koshtha shodan. For Panchakarma therapy, Koshtha assessment is crucial because the dosage of Shodhana drugs depends on the type of Koshtha. Samyak shodhan won't happen if Koshtha Assessment isn't done correctly.
