Study Notes
Basic Principles of Ayurveda
- Ayurveda identifies three fundamental components of the body: Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala.
- Dosha refers to the bodily humors.
- Dhatu refers to the tissues/constituents.
- Mala refers to waste products.
- The body's lifespan is divided into three stages: creation, maintenance, and destruction.
- Creation (Utpatti): Involves the merging of sperm and ovum, followed by stages of growth.
- Maintenance (Sthiti): Begins at birth, involves growth, and continues to adulthood.
- Destruction (Vinash): Marks the end of life or death.
- The composition and balance of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala influence health and illness.
- The body's constitution is considered a result of the individual's inherited tendencies and lifestyle.
