Effects of Sankhya darshan on Ayurveda:
Ayurveda has accepted the shrushti uttpatti
siddhant of Sankhya Darshan as it is. Only
mentioned avyakta tatva instead of prakruti
and purush tatva of Sankhya. So there are 25
tatvas in the shrushti utpatti of Sankhya dardar
shan while there are 24 tatvas in the shrushti
utpatti of ayurveda.
Sankhya darshan says mahabhut originates
from particular tanmatra like from shabda
tanmatra akash mahabhut develops
devel
etc.
While ayurveda says that origin of mahabhut takes place by Vyapadeshastu
shastu Bhuysa
nyaya i.e. part of particular tanmatra and
1/8 part of each of other 4 tanmatras . By
this combination that particular mahabhut is
developed.

dosha disappears. Due to this, mental ability
remains stable & Pradnyparadh 1 is prevented which helps in maintaining Swasthya. Also Sadvrutta and Achar rasayan explained in Ayurveda is the part of Yam &
Niyam.
Pranayam: Ayurveda has accepted pranayam yog of Ashtang Yog. Patient suffering
from asthma lung disease heart disease diabetic patients etc can maintain the swasthya
by practicing Pranayam. By doing so, Vat
dosh can be controlled at the same time
Asan Yog also contributes in controlling vat
dosh. In swasthavrutta of Ayurveda various
asana are described which are further used
in destroying physical & mental diseases.
Pratyahar: Pratyahar means taking benefits
Indriya by not making use of them [stmy
indriyrth snyog]. As it is an important
Hetu; Ayurveda allows to take benefit up to
samyog. Thus swasthya is properly maintained. Still if asatmya yog occurs pratyahar
is the only chikitsa. Ayurveda explains
pradnyapradh1 in root cause of all diseases.
This can be treated by increasing satva
guna.
Effects of Vaisheshik Darshan on Ayurveda: Ayurveda explained Shat Padarths
mentioned in vaisheshik darshan. In sutrasthan adhyaya no 1 charak explains all of the
six padarthas1, 6 i.e. Dravya, Guna, Karma,
