Abstract

Shat Kriya Kala, an ancient Ayurvedic concept, describes the six stages of disease progression, from accumulation to mani-festation and complication. This review aims to explore the significance of Shat Kriya Kala in preventive medicine, high-lighting its correlation with modern medicine's primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention. By understanding these stages, healthcare practitioners can diagnose and treat diseases early, preventing progression to chronic stages and reduc-ing the risk of complications. This ancient wisdom offers valuable insights into disease prevention and management, em-phasizing the importance of early intervention and tailored treatment approaches.
