The ancient Ayurvedic text Kashyapa Samhita provides a detailed framework for paediatric examination based on anatomical, physiological and developmental features. This text highlights various clinical assessment techniques aimed at predicting health, longevity and potential ailments in children. Despite its incomplete preservation, the text offers valuable insights into early diagnostic methods grounded in Ayurvedic principles. The study focuses on examining body parts such as nails, feet, legs, knees, abdomen, shoulders, arms and motor functions. Healthy nails reflect robust metabolism and good organ development, while abnormal nail conditions suggest deficiencies and congenital disorders. Similarly, well-developed feet and fleshy, firm legs denote strength and longevity, whereas signs of atrophy or abnormal thickness may indicate malnutrition or neuromuscular disorders. A well-toned abdomen suggests good health, while abnormalities like visible veins or a depressed appearance point to potential systemic illnesses such as malnutrition or ascites. The assessment extends to motor functions and gait analysis. A steady, powerful gait indicates strong musculoskeletal health, while an unsteady or stumbling gait signifies possible neurological conditions linked to Vata Dosha imbalances. Shoulders, arms and umbilical features also offer diagnostic clues about health and future prosperity. Overall, this study underscores the relevance of traditional Ayurvedic diagnostic methods in modern paediatric assessment. The correlation between ancient clinical observations and current medical interpretations highlights the enduring significance of Ayurveda in understanding child development and health prognosis.
