| + | Health is equilibrium of body components and blissful state of [[mind]],[[sensory motor organs]] and [[soul]]. |
| + | |
| + | [[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 blissful state of [[soul]], [[sensory motor organs]] and [[mind]]. |
| + | |
| + | A trained Ayurvedic physician can clinically identify disequilibrium of these factors and rectify them to prevent disease. |

| + | For the maintenance of the equilibrium of [[dhatu]], one should follow proper activities and diet having properties opposite to the geographical condition, season and physical constitution of the individual; one should observe proper utilization of (physical and mental) capabilities as well as of available resources like time; One should avoid excess utilization of anything; one should not suppress manifested natural urges and should also avoid working beyond one’s capacity.
