The concept of Kaala (time) in Ayurveda extends beyond mere chronology, encompassing a dynamic principle that profoundly influences health, disease, and therapeutic interventions. This study explores the multifaceted role of Kaala as a causative factor, examining its impact on the balance of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), Dhatus (tissues), and disease manifestations. It also highlights the influence of Kaala on daily routines (Dincharya), seasonal regimens (Ritucharya), and the timing of treatments to optimize health outcomes. Through critical analysis of classical Ayurvedic texts and modern research, the study underscores the significance of aligning activities with natural rhythms, such as circadian and seasonal cycles, to maintain health (Swasthya Raksha) and manage disease (Aatur Chikitsa). The findings reaffirm Kaala’s relevance in contemporary healthcare, demonstrating its potential in preventive and therapeutic applications.
