Ayurveda - The Healing System
समदोष समाग्नि च समधातु मलक्रियाः |
प्रसन्ना आत्मा इन्द्रिय मनः स्वस्थ इत्यभिधीयते || सुश्रुत संहिता
One is in perfect health when the Three Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), Digestive fire (Digestion,
Assimilation and Metabolism) all the body tissues & components (Dhatus) (the entire physical body) are
in perfect order with a pleasantly disposed and contented mind, senses and spirit. Three Doshas are the
three functionalities, which govern all the physiological, psychological and spiritual aspects of one's life.
They each have five subdivisions, delicately intertwined. Ayurveda describes in great detail as to how
they function and how to keep them in balance and also how to bring them into balance when they are
out of balance.
