Multiple methods are used for the diagnosis. Especially important is the examination of the pulse (radial, time, carotid, brachial, etc.) and the state of the tongue, face, nails, eyes, etc. It also uses rare techniques for the examination of the urine, feces, blood and breath. Sometimes it also resorts to Hindu astrology. The signs and symptoms of the disease thus detected are classified as per three fundamental biological principles called tridosha: vata (air or the vital energy), pitta (fire or the metabolic energy), kapha (the energy of biological particles).
The diagnosis is complemented with studies and laboratory analysis, among other modern methods.
