Ayurveda – Basic Concept

 Ayurveda is an ancient medical system of the Indian subcontinent. He is said to have been born in India about 5000 years ago. Ayurveda literally means 'science of life' because the word Ayurveda is a combination of the Sanskrit words 'ayus' meaning 'life' and 'Veda' meaning 'science'. to increase. Unlike other health systems, Ayurveda focuses on a healthy life rather than curing diseases. The core concept of Ayurveda is to personalize the healing process.

 According to Ayurveda, the human body consists of four basic elements: Dosha, Datu, Mara, and Agni. The foundations of all these bodies are very important in Ayurveda. They are also known as 'Mool Siddhant' or 'Basics of Ayurvedic Treatment'.

 Dosha Three principles of life

 Dosha is Vata, pitta, and Kapa, which together regulate and control catabolic and anabolic metabolism. The main function of the three doshas is to transport digested food by-products throughout the body. This helps build the body's tissues. The dysfunction of these Doshas causes illness.

 Dhatu

 Dhatu can be defined as body support. There are seven tissue systems in the body. They are like Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Mjja, and Shukra, respectively representing plasma, blood, muscle, adipose tissue, bone, bone marrow, and semen. Datus provides only essential nourishment to the body and aids in the growth and structure of the mind.

 Mara

 Mara means waste or filth. The Trinity of the Body is the third of Dosha and Datu. There are three main types of mala. Feces, urine, sweat. Since Maraş is primarily a waste product of the body, it must be disposed of properly to protect the health of the individual.

 Agni 

 The body is carried out with the help of the body's biological fire called Agni. Agni can be called various enzymes found in the cells of the essential ducts, liver, and tissues.

 Body matrix

 In Ayurveda, life is understood as the unity of body, sensation, mind, and spirit. Living humans have three temperaments (Vata, Pitta, Kapa), seven basic tissues (Lhasa, Lacta, Mansa, Meda, Asti, Maja, Shukra), and bodily wastes such as feces, urine, and sweat. It is an aggregate. Therefore, the entire body matrix consists of body fluids, tissues, and waste products.

 Panchamahabhuta

 According to Ayurveda, all objects in the universe, including the human body, are made up of five basic elements (Pancha Mahabutas): earth, water, fire, air, and vacuum (ether). These elements are balanced and concentrated in different proportions to meet the needs and requirements of the different structures and functions of the body matrix and its parts.

 Health and illness

 Health and disease depend on the balance of the matrix in the body, including the balance between the various components. Both internal and external factors can upset the natural balance and cause disease. This is lost
