Ayurved is the science of life that deals with every aspect of life as this science of life has two main objectives i.e., protection and promotion of health and secondly cure of the diseases. Acharya Charaka has described eight types of Ashta–Nindita (undesirable constitution) viz. Ati-hrasva (Dwarfism/ short- statured), Ati-dirgha (Gigantism and Acromegaly),Ati-loma (Hairy body),A-Loma (Hairless body), Ati-krishna( Tanned body), Ati- Gaur (Albine body), Ati-sthula (Obesity), Ati- krusha (Emaciated body). As mentioned, these diseases are extremely difficult to treat, the main reason of them being difficult to treat or non- treatable are that these disorders are basically hormonal disorders and various new theories even after all this the disorders are extremely difficult to treat or non-treatable, thus proving the name given Ashto- Nindita as acceptable.
Keywords: Ashta–Nindita, Ati-hrasva, Ati-dirgha , Ati-loma , A-Loma, Ati- krusha etc.
