- According to siddha & Ayurveda, the body comprises of three primary life forces or humors.
- In siddha & Ayurvedic terminology, they are called doshas.
- The state of balance or equilibrium between these three doshas in the body is called health and the state of imbalance or disequilibrium is disease.
- The imbalance may be in one, two or all the three doshas. For example excess of vata causes arthritis and excess of pitta causes acidity, ulcer and liver disorders.
- All causative factors of disease internal or external, directly or indirectly, create an imbalance in these doshas first and only then do the symptoms of the disease manifest.
- The causative factors can be the food, life style or other activities.
