Dosha Dhatu Mala Moolam Hi Shareeram
Dr. Pooja Rajendran
Abstract: Ayurveda emphasizes on certain distinct concepts-Panchamahabhuta, Tridosha, Saptadhatu, Trimala, Prakriti-which makes the science peculiar. The Panchamahabhuta theory describes that the entire universe is made up of five elements; namely-Prthvi, Ap, Tejas, Vayu and Akasha, and these Panchamahabhutas are believed to form the three basic humors of human body-Vata, Pitta and Kapha-which paves the way to the Tridosha Siddhanta. Apart from the Doshas, the other significant notions mentioned are the Saptadhatu-Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medas, Asthi, Majja, Shukra; and Trimala-Mutra, Purisha, Sweda. The equilibrium of Tridosha, Saptadhatu, and Trimala forms the foundation of Ayurveda's fundamental theory. For a healthy state, the balance between the three Doshas and other factors should be maintained. Any disparity between these, causes a state of illness or disease.
