Yuktivyapashraya chikitsa (युक्तिव्यपाश्रया चिकित्सा) is one of the 3 different treatment methods described in Ayurveda. The other 2 are [[Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa (दैवव्यपाश्रया चिकित्सा)|Daivavyapashraya chikitsa]] and [[Satvavajaya Chikitsa or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Ayurveda (सत्वावजय चिकित्सा)|Satvavajaya chikitsa]]. This modality of the treatment is the most common form of disease management that includes administration of medicines as well as diet and lifestyle related interventions.

== Introduction ==
The term Yuktivyapashraya is made up of 2 parts viz, yukti and vyapashraya. Here vaypashraya means based on and Yukti means plan. Plan of diet, lifestyle and medicines given to the sick person is known as the example of Yuktivyapashraya type of treatment.

=== Yukti as pramana in Ayurveda ===
Ayurveda has adopted Yukti as one of the 4 [[Pramanas in Astika Darshanas (आस्तिकदर्शन-प्रमाणानि)|pramanas]]. Pramanas are the methods of knowledge. Ayurveda has accepted 4 pramanas as below,

# Pratyaksha
# Anumana
# Shabda and
# Yukti

The other 3 pramanas have been adopted from Darshanas while Yukti remains the exclusive pramana included in Ayurveda.

Yukti can also be understood as planning, applying, and executing knowledge using one's intellectual and reasoning abilities. ‘Yukti pramana’ is included as a source of valid knowledge in Ayurveda.[Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 11/17] It is the intellectual perception resulting from the analysis of varied causative factors. It represents the logical reasoning and interpretation constructed to gain knowledge regarding any phenomena.
