[[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]].
