Ayurveda is a holistic science based upon the concept required for daily life for each individual. There are several types of Dukha (disease) which affect the human being. Before the commencement of the treatment, the disease should be diagnosed properly using Panchanidana (5 fold method of Diagnosis). Upashaya is one of the important tools for the diagnosis of the disease. It provides momentarily cure or happiness or sukhanubandha. We use different means of upashaya. Such as drug, diet and regimen to diagnose a particular disease. Broadly we can divide the upashaya into two major groups. Such as Vipareetarthakari and vipareetakari upashaya. Upashaya is also used formulate the Chikitsasutra of a particular disease. The 18 different types of upashaya described into Ayurvedic classics, elaborate the basic concept of existing pathy in the world. Naturopathy’s diet and regimen management and homeopath semelia, semilian, correntum and allopath’s symptomatic management of diseases etc. usually may have inspired with different types of upashaya. Therefore upashaya is used as a means of vyadhivinishchaya and also it provides help for principle of treatment of a disease.
