2. What is Pain???
•The International Association for the
Study of Pain defines pain as "an
unpleasant sensory and emotional
experience associated with actual or
potential tissue damage, or described
in terms of such damage."
3. Classification Of Pain:-
Basis Types of pain
Duration Acute
Chronic
Acute on chronic
Cause Cancer
Non cancer
Mechanism Nociceptive (physiological)
Neuropathic (pathological)
4. Acute pain Chronic pain
Onset & timing
Sudden, short duration Resolves
/disappears when tissue heals
Insidious onset
Pain persists despite tissue healing
Signal Warning sign of actual or potential
tissue damage
Not a warning signalof damage
False alarm
Severity
Correlates with amount of damage Severity not correlated with damage
CNS
involvement
CNS intact- acute pain is a
symptoms
CNS may be dysfunctional- chronic
pain is a disease
Psychological
effects
Less, but unrelieved pain
anxiety and sleeplessness
(improves when pain is relieved)
Often associate with
depression, anger, fear, social
withdrawal etc.
5. Dosha, Dhātu, Mala: An Introduction
In Ayurvedic Philosophy, you were introduced to the three Doshas and
the principle of Prakriti and its underlying tenets. Ayurvedic
Physiology takes Philosophy a step further. It describes the specific
operations of these major energies and laws as the physiological
energies, structures and byproducts in the body and mind.
Human physiology can be summarized into three categories:
Governing energies (Dosha), organs and structures (Dhātu) and
wastes (Mala).
6. The SubTypes
Subtypes: Secondary Governing Energy
• Each of the doshas have five (5) Subtypes with specific actions
within the physiological structure. They affect and govern the
emotional and mental faculties as well as specific organ
functions and operations.
7. The SubTYPES
The Subtypes can be found acting in every part of the body.
They are distributed according to the organs and actions that
take place at each respective location.
8. The SubTYPES | Pitta
Pitta and its Subtypes
create and
physiological
sustain
functions
related to transformation,
conversion, digestion, heat
and radiance.
9. The SubTYPES| Kapha
Kapha and its Subtypes create and sustain
physiological functions related to construction,
lubrication, nourishment, cohesion and
stabilization.
