Abstract

Background: Rogamarga is one among the fundamental concepts in Ayurvedic pathology that describes the pathways through which vitiated Doshas manifest and lead to disease. Classical Ayurvedic texts classify Rogamarga into Bahya, Madhyama, and Abhyantara. Objective: To assess the distribution of Trividha Rogamarga among patients attending a tertiary Ayurvedic healthcare centre and identify the most predominant Rogamarga in patients attending a tertiary Ayurveda Hospital. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 511 participants using a validated questionnaire. Results: Madhyama Rogamarga was observed in 320 (62.6%) participants, followed by Abhyantara Rogamarga in 153 (29.9%) and Bahya Rogamarga in 38 (7.4%). Conclusion: Madhyama Rogamarga was observed to be the predominant Rogamarga, supporting the clinical applicability of Trividha Rogamarga concept.
