[[Ayurveda]] has comprehensive understanding of health as described by Charak and Sushruta where five components of health are described as follows: | |||
* Three [[dosha]] (interaction between epigenes and genes)- [[vata]], [[pitta]], and [[kapha]] - are the fundamental physiological governing regulators of the body, | |||
* [[Agni]] (metabolic and digestive processes by various enzymes and interaction with microsomes) | |||
* [[Dhatu]] (principles that uphold the formation of body tissues). | |||
* [[Mala]] or bodily wastes produced that are either reutilized or excreted well, and | |||
* The state of sense organs, mind and the Soul. | |||
A trained Ayurvedic physician can clinically identify disequilibrium of these factors and rectify them to prevent disease. | |||
