Ayurvedic disease names in WHO ICD-11 (TM2)

WHO's International Classification of Diseases carries a Traditional Medicine module, TM2, and files Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani terms against its codes. This page reports the Ayurvedic half of that filing for 67 terms: what WHO lists, where.

What a row means, and what it does not

A row says only that WHO lists this Sanskrit term against this code. It is not a claim that the Ayurvedic condition and the biomedical category are the same thing, and it is not a diagnosis. The names come from WHO's own Ayurveda field, reproduced as WHO spells them; the codes and titles are WHO's. Nothing on this page was generated, and no code from any other source appears.

4 terms are listed under more than one code. Both are shown, because that is what the classification does, and choosing one would be our judgement rather than WHO's.
