The Tridosha theory, which is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic physiology governs all the functions of human body and mind. Tridosha are responsible in determining one's Prakriti and their functional status may vary in both gender of different Prakriti. No research work is available to assess the functions of Dosha by objective parameters. Therefore, this study was planned to find out the variation in functional status of different types of Pitta, using certain objective parameters, in 201 young healthy volunteers of both gender belonging to different Prakriti. Serum level of triglycerides, cholesterol, total protein and glucose level were estimated for Pachaka Pitta and hemoglobin concentration for Ranjaka Pitta, visual acuity for Alochaka Pitta, memory and reaction time for Sadhaka Pitta and RGB value for Bhrajaka Pitta were measured. Except the functioning of Bhrajaka Pitta, variation in functional status of all type of Pitta was not the same in different Prakriti of both gender. However these findings were not significant which may have occurred due to small sample size and homogenous population. Thus we propose the consideration of sex differences while planning and evaluating the studies that are based on Prakriti.

전통의학의 체질론은 현대의학과는 구분되는 특성으로, 사상의학은 건강유지의 관점을 폐비간신(肺脾肝腎)의 기능적 강약(强弱)으로 구분하여 인체 장부(臟腑)의 체질에 따른 기능적 균형이 어떠한 조건에서 불균형이 되는 상태를 병의 주요한 요인으로 파악하였다. 아유르베다는 우리 몸에 존재하는 3개 "도샤(Dosha)'의 균형을 건강 유지의 기본으로 생각하고 질병이 생기는 이유를 체내 에너지 조절 기능을 하는 바따(Vata), 신진대사와 소화 기능을 담당하는 삣타(Pitha), 체온조절 기능을 담당하는 카파(Kapha)의 균형이 깨어졌기 때문으로 보았고 세가지 도샤(tridosha)가 균형을 맞추면 스스로 치유된다고 하였다. 체질에 따른 질병의 특징과 경향을 알아 치료에 접근하고 일상생활의 건강관리까지 포함하고 있는 두 이론은 각 개인의 특성과 독립적이고 자율적인 생활습관이 중시되는 현대사회에서 일상 생활 건강 유지 및 예방을 위해 다양한 예방 치료법의 융합영역으로 해석될 수 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 사상 의학과 아유르베다 이론을 체질 관점에서 비교 분석하여 환자의 치유력과 회복력에 도움이 되고, 환자의 만족도 증가를 위한 체질 기반 개념을 이해하고 예방 의료분야에 있어서의 활용의 다양성에 대해 도움이 되고자 한다.

Ancient Indian medicine, Ayulveda that had been developed during the period from 1500B.C. to 1000A.D. was a part of Atharva Veda in Vedas, ancient religious literature. Ayurveda accumulated wisdom of life from time immemorial presents that an individual entity is required to live in harmony with nature or universe according to its constitution. Ayurveda is the medical science that grasps individual constitution through Tridosha, a combination of five primary elements(space, wind, fire, water, and earth), and systemetically explains physiological and pathological phenomena which reveal according to the constitution. In Ayurveda, diseases are classfied by various diagnostic methods, and the state of sound body, mind and spirit is maintained by several unique theraphies and regimens. Ayurveda has (once) been developed in the form of monk medicine since it was transmitted as the buddistic medicine in China and Korea. It has a lot of similarities to the oriental medicine that systematizes the theory of holistic idea on the basis that the human body is a small universe corresponding to nature. The oriental medicine and Ayurveda, two main axes of the oriental medicine arouse western medical schools' interest by their perculiar views of the disease and the system of their medical theories. And they are expected to render services to human health.

Background : There has been increased global interest in traditional medicine. Ayurveda and Korean medicines are most world-widely spread as Complementary and Alternative Medicine(CAM). Objectives : This review gives an overview of basic principles and commonalities of Ayurveda, Tibetan and Korean medicine. Method : I have summarized the results of the research into the following categories: basic theoies, history, physiology and pathogenesis. Result : 1. Ayurveda is the medical science that grasps individual constitution through Tridosha, a combination of five primary elements(space, wind, fire, water, and earth), and systematically explains physiological and pathological phenomena which reveal according to the constitution. 2. The theoretical basis forming the Tibetan Medicine is the substance of phlegm, bile, and wind each of which is divided into five kinds. These physiological substances can be transformed into pathological factors when certain environment is formed. 3. Ayurveda, Tibetan and Korean medicine, three main axes of the traditional medicine arouse western medical researchers' interest by their peculiar views of the disease and the system of their medical theories. And they are expected to render services to human health. Conclusions : We can expect the potential of the approaching between Ayurveda, Tibetan and Korean medicine.
