Ayurveda is Hindu for 'complete knowledge of the totality of life'individual's consciousness.

One who is having equilibrium of Dosha (Vata, pitta and Kapha),Agni (digestive fire or metabolic activity), Dhatu (Seven basic tissues), Mala (waste products) and pleasant Atma (consciousness) , Indriya( Sense organs) and Manas ( Mind) is considered to be a healthy person. Disturbances of this equilibrium causes diseases. The three vital principles of Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which together regulate and control the catabolic and anabolic metabolism.
