Chatushpada: The Four Pillars of Ayurvedic Treatment

In Ayurveda, successful treatment is not just about the medicine or the doctor. It is viewed as a holistic process supported by four essential pillars, known as Chatushpada. The concept emphasizes that healing is a collaborative effort, and the strength of each pillar determines the success of the therapy.

Just as a stable table needs four strong legs, effective treatment requires the perfect alignment of these four components:

The Four Pillars (Pada)

1. Bhishak (The Physician)

2. Dravya (The Medicine / Substances)

3. Upasthata (The Attendant / Nurse)

4. Rogi (The Patient)
