| BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA |
 |
According to Ayurveda human body is a miniature universe made up
of the 5 basic elements, the Panchamahabhootas.
These 5 elements in different proportions form saptadhatus (structural units),
thridoshas (functional units) and thrimalas (metabolic waste products).
This component together with Agni (digestive capacity) in a state of
equilibrium keeps the body healthy.Wrong food habits, unhealthy life style,
seasonal variations etc. are the key factors that disturb the equilibrium.
This derangement causes accumulation of metabolic waste products
in weaker areas of |
| the body and it disturbs the digestive capacity.
This leads to manifestation of diseases. |

| TREATMENTS IN AYURVEDA |
