Personalized medicine is a paradigm that has existed for as long as people have been practicing medicine. From Charaka to Hippocrates, everyone has used a customized approach to treat a broad spectrum of diseases. Personalized medicine can play a pivotal role in this changing scenario of the global health management system through the effective integration of omics. The personalized treatment is offered on the basis of Dasha Vidha Pariksha. According to this, the patient is examined in respect of prakruti (constitution of body), vikruti (pathological examination), sara (examination of elemental tissue & mind), samhana (examination of compactness of body), pramana(measurement), satmya (suitability), satva (examination of mental constitution), aaharashakti (examination of digestive power), vyayamashakti (examination of strength by exercise), and vaya (examination of age).
