Summary of article contents:

Pramana mean measurement that may be qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative measurement is based on character such as sex, education etc. But on the other hand, quantitative measurement is based on scale or unit of measurement. In Ayurveda, Anguli Pramana and Anjali Pramana are two types of measurement for different state of matter such as liquid and solid form. In humans Rasadi Dhatu are measured with the help of Anjali Pramana , in its contrast height, width and circumference are measured with the help of Anguli Pramana. Pramana are classically associated with health. Clinical implementation of Pramana may be helpful to assess the health of patient in sequence of Kshaya-Vridhi-Sama Awastha of Dosh, Dhatu, Mal and body parts in relation to his/her Anjali and Anguli Pramana . Anguli Pramana is important step in Dashvidh Aatur Pareeksha to assess physical health and to implement proper treatment according to the individual.
