ABSTRACT Ayurveda prioritises prevention and promotes the preservation of health by emphasising the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in one's life, including diet, lifestyle, medication, and correct thinking one such fundamental Ayurvedic principles which helps in the treatment of illnesses is "Samanya Vishesh Siddhanta." Samanya, which means resemblance, and Vishesh, which means dissimilarity, are concepts that can be used to effectively cure a variety of diseases. Although the idea was primarily introduced in the context of Ayurvedic yuktivyapashraya, or logical medicine, the primary cause of disease is a disruption in the balance of Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, etc. Dravyas with similar and dissimilar characteristics can be used to establish the balance of these living entities. In the idea of Samanya Vishesh Siddhanta, the particular Gunas and Karmas of the Dravyas are crucial. These are discussed under the Six Factors necessary for Dhatusamya's function in the body and are extensively explained and applied in the Charaka Samhita. In the Utility of Samanya Vishesha Siddhanta, an attempt has been made to understand Charaka Samhita.
