Constitutional Perception-Ayurvedic,Concept AYURVEDA means the science of life. It is considered divine in
original and is widely practiced in South Eastern Asia especially in
Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The basic theory of AYURVEDA arises from the concept of Panchamahabhutas and
Tridosha. Tridosha means three basic constituents complexes in the
physiological system-
-
Vata (motion)
-
Pitta(energy) and
-
Kapha (inertia)
These are three basic biological elements derived from the
Panchamahabhutas(five basic physical elements)
-
Prithvi
-
Jal
-
Tej
-
Vayu and
-
Akash
which constitute the bodies of all living creatures from microbes to man.
-
Vata particles control the utilization of energy by various cell and organs for
their anabolic as well as katabolic activities. Vata also controls the
movements of Pitta and Kapha and thus control all the functions and activities
of the body in the form of Pitta particles.
-
Pitta particles are responsible for all the biochemical reactions and metabolic
processes and supply heat and energy to the body.
-
Kapha particles constitute the cellular as well as intracellular structure of
the body and maintain the internal environment of the body. They impart
strength and stability to the body. The imbalance state of these Doshas gives
rise to diseases.
A detailed study of the Tridosha principles may reveal that these are nothing
but motion, energy and inertia.
