ABSTRACT; AYURVED, the Indian System of Medicine, is 5000 (five thousands) years old medical science. The whole Ayurveda is based on the Tridosha, Dhatu, Mal, Agni, and Oaj Theory, which are factually known as Maulik Siddhant. Diagnosis of Tridosha-agni-dhatu-mal-oaj etc. and diagnosis of diseases or disease conditions are based solely on the radial pulse examination conventionally and the treatment and management of the sick individual is totally dependent on the Radial pulse reading conceived by the Ayurvedic practitioners. To quantify TRIDOSHA, only radial pulse examination is conventional to assess the status of Tridosha in human body, depending upon the knowledge of the Ayurvedic practitioners he. How Vaidya /Ayurvedic clinician quantifies and conceives Tridosha himself and unto what extent? This is not explanatory by any means in physical proofs, as EVIDENCE-BASED-MEDICINE term, like examples of X-ray, Imaging pictures, Ultra-sound, MRI, Pathological investigations etc.

 For the first time, Electro-Tridosha-Gram/Graph technology is invented with the help of Electro-Cardio-Graph Machine, making some changes. It is believed that this technology will improve the scientistic approach in MAULIK SIDDHANT of Ayurveda, the INDIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE, more accurate, more logical in its philosophy, examination, evaluation of drugs/remedy/medicine, monitoring and treatment. Today the Tridosha, the EachTridosha’s five kinds, the Sapta Dhatu, the Mal, Mootra and the Sved, Agni, Oaj and Total Oaj and other AYURVEDIC MAULIK SIDDHANT can be quantified with their presence in human body in their respective intensity on paper, which is showing physical existence of these theory before eyes in form of paper report, say  “EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE” by ELECTRO-TRIDOSHA-GRAPH/GRAM technology. Now Ayurveda have a scientific tool and technology at present time, which is capable and effective to prove scientifically the Tridosha and Sapta Dhatu (Dosha-Dooshya), Malam-moolam philosophy and other Maulik Siddhant. Today, it is believed that with the help of ETG technology, Ayurveda will enter into new era of research, which has innumerable possibilities to explore the truth of Ayurveda in evidence form, earlier said by the sages since five thousands years ago, in philosophy, in logic, in Siddhant etc. This technology will change the concept of Tridosha etc in diagnosis and treatment more accurate, more logical and most scientific. The technology will open new doors for research in Ayurveda, which have been never explored earlier.

1 - BACKGROUND:

IDEA INCEPTION

For the first time, the idea of ELECTRO-TRIDOSH-GRAM/GRAPH was that conceived by me, when few years back, one day, I was recording Electro-Cardio-Gram of my one patient by my Single channel BPL Cardiart 108T-MK-VI, ELECTRO-CARDIOGRAPH machine, which I am using since few years as a routine check of cardiac patients. My attention went to the movement of the ECG machine’s “stylus”, which is actually a heated needle, moves up and down according to signal received from the sick person’s body for tracing record on heat sensitive paper. Actually this is basically a type of Galvanometer. The movement of the stylus nature was throbbing and pulsating, just like Radial Pulse is throbbing and pulsating, when touches and slightly presses by the fingertips. The Radial Pulse examination is known as NARI PARIKSHAN in AYURVED, the Indian System of Medicine. Thus NARI PARIKSHAN done by the practitioners of Ayurvedic science, status of TRIDOSH, which are VATA, PITTA, KAPHA, in single and in combinations, are quantified in human body. Tridosha is an important and essential part of the basic root and foundation of Ayurveda, on which whole Ayurvedic science, its philosophy and concept is built. Without Tridosha, Ayurveda-science is nowhere stands.

Suddenly at a time, an imagination cropped-up in mind, that what is be good, if a sensor is made and fitted with the needle, so that it recorded the throbbing and pulsation and presented the recording on paper, so that radial pulse examination will be more scientific and authentic in compare to finger touch radial pulsation, observed mentally, but not physically existed, by the Vaidya, the Ayurvedic practitioners.

In fact I was in search of a mechanical means for Radial Pulse recording. Nari-examination is directed in many classical books of Ayurveda. It is directed that both hands’ radial pulse should be examined. I have seen many patients that they have only one hand or in some cases both hands are absent or amputees. In these instances, radial pulse reading is impossible to assess the Tridosha intensities; therefore treatment based on Tridosha is difficult in these cases.

Ayurvedic practice is going on in my family as a traditional job from generation to generation. My forefathers were practicing Ayurveda. As for as concerned to myself, I belong to fifth generation of my traditional family profession. When I was teen-ager, my father gives me training to observe Radial pulse examination. My father narrates the pulsating and throbbing nature of radial pulse. How Vata, Pitta and Kaphha are observed in a sick, he describes all very lucidly.

One day I thought, could ECG machine be helpful in TRIDOSHA quantification?  I tried on this thought, worked practically for weeks, without any result, but I never left any hope. The practical efforts on TRIDOSHA findings were continue. I never took any other persons’ help. I discussed my idea to other Vaidyas, but nobody was in position to help me. I took help from classical textbooks of Ayurveda and Modern western medicines regularly. Books have always guided me at every crucial points and matters. One day I was studying a book on cardiology about the lead-arrangement system of Electro-Cardiograph machine {ECG machine}. I tried deeply to understand the lead arrangements of an ECG machine and gone thoroughly with some chapters on cardiology in textbooks. At last, I decided that Chest-lead could solve the problem.

  The other problem was where to locate the site of body from where tracings could be recorded. Several experiments were done on different locations of body, but all was fruitless and nothing could be obtained. I was hopeful that I would hit the target. Studies, ideas, imaginations and real experiments were continued.

Another day I thought, Tridosha are living inside the human body, and first of all I should find out and locate the exact places of Vata, Pitta, and Kaphha existence. I started to find out this idea and gone through the great Ayurvedic classical like Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Ashtang Hridaya, Bhav-Prakash and many others. Lastly I got clearly in Bhav-Prakash, where these Vatadi doshas are present in human body with their locations. After that I decided the points, from where tracings can be recorded, for Tridosha status quantification. Patient’s case history, past and present complaints were the guide for establishing the points and waves pattern.
