Ayurveda DoshasAyurvedic Tridosha Or Triple Humor TheoryAyurveda Doshas are the basis of health and disease in Ayurvedic Medicine. There are three Doshas or humors - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Doshas are in turn dependent upon and represent the working of Five Primary Elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether. These five elements are not what is meant literally. These are a set of five energy levels that are manifested from even subtler energies. When we are referring to Five Primary Elements, the reference should be at these subtler energies. Three Ayurveda Doshas & Five Primary Elements:There is a close interrelationship between Five Primary Elements and ayurveda doshas. This relationship is expressed in this manner. (Ashtanga Sangraha, Sutra Section, 20/3)
Three Chracteristics Of Body In Ayurveda:Body is defined in Ayurveda in several ways. One of the definition is given by Charaka (Charaka Samhita, Sharira Section, 6/3). Body is chracterized by three qualities.
The Basis Of Our Body & Ayurveda Doshas:The foundation of our body in both structural and functional sense is based on the three group of substances. These are the derived form of five primary elements.
All the three are essential for the body. Ayurveda doshas govern all the biological and metabolic processes of our body in health and in disease. Actually their vitiation causes derangement in tissues and that causes disease. Their equilibrium helps us to stay in healthy condition. Seven tissues are essential because without them, there is no body or its processes or the ground over which Doshas act. Tissues are our body, its part, its organs, the organ system. Excretion of waste material from the body is the sign that the whole processes are in proper place. Body is metabolizing appropriately. Excretory substances and their excretion are a sign of good health that is why Ayurveda gives them due importance.
