 Philosophy and Principles of Ayurveda

The basic principles of Ayurveda provide a platform for understanding to health, disease and the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. the fundamental principles of Ayurveda are here –



(1) Panchmahabhoot (five elements)- Ayurveda says that the human body and everything in the universe is made up of five elements – Space (Akash), Vayu (Air), Agni (Agni), Water (Jala), and Prithvi (Earth). These elements combine to form the Tridoshas and influence the properties and characteristics of all substances. Tridosha theory: Three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Which controls the functioning of the body. Each dosha is a combination of the five elements and has a specific quality. Human remains healthy when the doshas are in balance and disease occurs when there is an imbalance. The meaning of Ayurveda is to understand these doshas and balance them.

(2) Prakriti – Every individual has a particular constitution or prakriti, which is determined by the dominant doshas at the time of birth. Prakriti influences physical, mental and emotional symptoms as well as imbalances and susceptibility to diseases.


(3) Agni (digestive fire): Agni represents the digestive fire and metabolic processes of the body. It is involved in the digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients as well as the removal of waste products from the body. is responsible for. A balanced agni supports supreme health. While a weak or imbalanced agni can lead to digestive defects and accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body.

(4) Ama (toxins): Ama represents the accumulation of undigested or improperly metabolized substances in the body. In Ayurveda, it is considered the root of many diseases. Ama can be caused by weak agni, poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle choices, or an imbalance in the doshas. Eliminating ama and restoring healthy digestion is essential for overall wellness. 

(5) Prakopa and Vikriti– prakopa refers to the initial stage of dosha imbalance, where the dosha deviates from its natural state. If not addressed, the outbreak can progress to pathology, which manifests as symptoms and disease. Ayurvedic diagnosis aims to identify the underlying imbalance (Prakopa) and restore balance (Prakriti) through individualized treatment.

(6) Dhatus (Tissues) and Sources – Ayurveda describes the body as a combination of seven primary tissues (Dhatus) – plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone, marrow and reproductive tissue. These dhatus are nourished and maintained through channels (sources), which facilitate the flow of nutrients, wastes and vital energy. Healthy metals and sources are important for overall well-being.

(7) Ahar(Diet) – Food can be a medicine or a source of imbalance. A suitable diet is based on the constitution of the individual doshas, ​​seasonal considerations and individual needs. A balanced lifestyle includes regular exercise, adequate rest, stress management, and nurturing mental and emotional well-being.

                       What  is ayurveda      Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in ancient India.

It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease. But treatments may be geared toward specific health problems     It views each individual as a unique combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics, and seeks to maintain or restore the balance of these elements to promote good health.
