PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA:

According to Ayurveda, nothing in this universe is devoid of pancha maha bhootas (Five Elements) they are:

  1. Prithi\vi (earth)
  2. Jala (Water)
  3. Teja (Fire)
  4. Vayu (Air)
  5. Aakasha (ether)

According to Ayurveda the five maha bhootas are explained in terms of tridosha, sapta dhatu , trimala, the fundamental affluent. In a perfect and healthy state of the body doshas, dhatoos, malas, are being kept in a dynamic state of equilibrium to maintain the positive health. Any disturbance in their relative performance in the body will lead to disease.
