Abstract	Ayurveda is an ancient science rooted in various schools of Indian philosophy. Being an applied science, it possesses a strong scientific foundation. The fundamental principles of Ayurveda were established through continuous observation and experimentation over time. This is why these principles remain relevant and applicable even in the present era. One such essential principle is Karya–Karaṇa Vada (the theory of cause and effect). Karya–Karaṇa Vada is based on two major philosophical doctrines: Satkaryavada (the theory of pre-existence of effect in the cause) and Asatkaryavada (the theory of non-existence of effect prior to its production). The principles of diagnosis and management of diseases in Ayurveda are founded upon this Karya–Karaṇa Siddhanta. Its further aids in understanding the concepts of Prakṛti Sama Samaveta and Vikṛti Viṣama Samaveta, which are fundamental to comprehending diagnosis, treatment, and health management in Ayurveda
Keywords	Ayurveda, Satkaryavada, Asatkaryavada, Prakṛti Sama Samaveta, Vikṛti Viṣhama Samaveta.
