Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botany

Yukti (युक्ति, “rationale”).—One of the ten Parādiguṇa, or, ‘10 pharmaceutical properties’.—It is a Sanskrit technical term from Āyurveda (Indian medicine) and used in literature such the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. According to Caraka, these ten properties (guṇa) are the means to success in therapeutic treatment. Yukti means chosing the best medicine based on logical thinking and planning.

Source: Pitta Ayurveda: Samanya Guna

Yukti means skill, expertise or proficiency. The practical application of yukti guna implies planning and doing something according to one’s ability and area of expertise. This guna is uniformly present in each and every individual but its exploitation depends on person to person. The soul of this guna lies in the fact that planning is dome either to solve a problem or to evolve and initiate something. It is considered that planning done in accordance with intelligence is always successful in implementation. Yukti samanya guna can be used in a negative or positive way also.

Yukti-guna is a property which is being applied either by the physician or by the pharmacist to get success in the treatment and formulations. Yukti is the base for understanding need or requirement on basis of desha, kala, vaya and avastha (stage) not only for the present time, but also in past as well as future.

Yukti is the knowledge to use or apply all the types of the definite and indefinite gunas. It is the solitary property by which all other gunas can be applied in different ways. Without Yukti the validation of other gunas and karmas may not be possible. This property is also helpful in getting certainty of result in the context of pariksha.

Chakrapani has commented on it as Yukti is apt usage of medicine/ bheshaja on the basis of dosha, dushyadi factors. The dosage which is pertinent for a specific condition will be called as Yukta in that condition. One which does not suit will be called as Ayukta.

Source: Ancient Science of Life: The Translational Framework of Ayurveda as a Knowledge System

Yukti (युक्ति) refers to the “rationale” process of translational research in the context of Āyurveda.—Translational research involves the application of knowledge gained through basic research to studies that could support the development of new products. [...] The process of this translation is also explained through a three step process in the tradition—śruti (science), yukti (rationale) and anubhava (experience). The way to discover applications that will enhance the quality of human life is to derive yukti from the Śruti or Śāstra. When yukti is obtained by churning the śāstra, then applications that enhance the quality of the human experience can be discovered. Āyurveda is reinvented continuously through this process of translation according to the need of the place and time. This can be called as the creation of the yugānurūpasandarbha or the context for the contemporary application of śāstra. Thus, Āyurveda represents endless opportunities for translational research.

Yukti is an insight from śāstra that reveals the interplay of variables that can be controlled or manipulated to bring about a desired effect or result. Thus, we can say that the first step in the process of translational research in Āyurveda is the harvesting of a sound yukti from the śāstra. The next step is to translate the yukti into practical applications that can enhance quality of human life. It is at this point that we need to bridge Āyurveda with modern science. Modern scientific techniques can serve as powerful tools to develop applications that can change and transform human life.

Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “situational applications” and is used to look for evidence in Ayurvedic products.—[...] It is to be recognized that Ayurvedic ingredients and products are multi-component and known to work on multiple organs/targets in the body concurrently. Innovations in clinical research and clinical trials are required to test efficacy of Ayurvedic products. [...] An eminent medical pharmacologist who later researched into Ayurveda and its products, Dr. Ashok D B Vaidya, in a lecture, cites different modes of evidence namely [... viz., situational applications (yukti), ...].
