What Is Pathology and How Can Ayurveda Help in Preventing and Detecting Diseases Naturally? - #16146

Recently, I had to undergo a few medical tests, and my doctor mentioned that the results would be analyzed in a pathology lab. While I understand that pathology is essential for diagnosing diseases, I want to learn more about how it works and whether Ayurveda has natural ways to detect and prevent illnesses before they become serious. From what I understand, pathology involves studying blood, urine, and tissue samples to diagnose infections, chronic diseases, and even cancer. But what I do not fully understand is why some people develop diseases that require extensive pathology testing while others remain healthy for years. Are genetic factors the primary cause, or do diet and lifestyle choices play a bigger role? I have read that Ayurveda emphasizes early disease detection by analyzing symptoms, pulse (Nadi Pariksha), and imbalances in the body’s doshas. Are there Ayurvedic diagnostic methods that work similarly to pathology in detecting imbalances before they manifest as serious diseases? Also, does Ayurveda suggest any detoxification or cleansing techniques to prevent the need for frequent pathology tests? Another thing I am wondering about is whether Ayurvedic dietary and lifestyle recommendations can naturally prevent conditions that require pathology-based diagnosis. Does Ayurveda recommend specific herbs, such as Triphala, Neem, or Giloy, to purify the blood and maintain internal organ health? If anyone has successfully prevented chronic illnesses through Ayurvedic methods instead of relying heavily on pathology testing, I would love to hear what worked. I want to explore natural ways to monitor and maintain good health.
