‘Ayurveda’, the science of life is constituted by two words, ‘ayus’ and ‘Veda’ meaning the science of ayus or the knowledge of life. ‘Ayus’ in this context denotes the continuity of consciousness or unified state of physical body, cognitive organs, mind, and soul. The physical body ‘sareera’ represents the gross structural and anatomical component of ‘ayu’ upon which the abnormalities of even the other subtle elements of ayus manifest.
The body and cognitive organs are perceptible only in the combination of ‘ayus’. The father of general medicine in ayurveda, Acharya Charaka explains the body; the seat of ‘chetana’ as an equilibrated combination of the modification of the five gross elements –‘Panchabhutavikara’. As per the principles of ayurveda, Panchamahabutas are involved right from the beginning of the development of fetus (fetal developments). the tridoshãs ‘vata’, ‘pitta’and ‘kapha’ performing the coordinating, transformative and generative functions of the body are also made up of panchmahabhutas (five elements). The entire body is constituted by ‘Paŕmanus”; the minutest units of panċhabhutas according to the philosophy of vaisheshika. The theory of tridoshã explains the process of health and diseases. Vata is predominantly constituted by Akashabhuta and vayubhuţa, Pitha by Agni bhuţa and Kapha by apbhuta and pŕthvibhuta. These somatic humors in a state of equilibrium work complimentary to each other, performing and controlling all physiological process of the body and mind to maintain health.
The entire human body is constituted by panchabhutas. This fact has been asserted by all Acharyas of Ayurveda. However the on the basis of predominance of bhuta composition the srothrendiya, sabdha and the conducting system in the body has been attributed to akasha bhuta, the sparsanedriya, the tactile sensations and all the movements of the body to Vayubhuta, the chakshurindriya the perception of vision, luster and metabolism to agnibhuta, rasanendriya the nutritive faculty and the various fluids in the body to the apyabhuta and the ghranendriya, the faculty of smell and the still grosser components of body like asthi, mamsa etc to prithvibhuta. This clearly demonstrates that all the components of sareera that is dosha , dhathu, mala etc are fundamentally panchabhoutika in nature.
Satwa, raja and thama are the trigunas. The satva guna predominance in human constitution leads to pure knowledge and health while the rajoguna and thamoguna predominance leads to ignorance, vitiation of tridoshãs and illhealth.
Acharya Suśhruta, the father of Indian surgery has defined ‘maŕma’ as primary seat of trigunas , tridoshãs and prâna. He has stated that the fatality attributed to maŕmagata is due to the vitiation of the three factors leading to deadly manifestation or even death.

MEDICINAL PLANT
A medicinal plant is any plant which, in one or more of its organs, contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes, or which are precursors for chemo-pharmaceutical semi-synthesis. When a plant is designated as ‘medicinal’, it is implied that the said plant is useful as a drug or therapeutic agent or an
active ingredient of a medicinal preparation. Medicinal plants may therefore be defined as
a group of plants that possess some special properties or virtues that qualify them as
articles of drugs and therapeutic agents, and
are used for medicinal purposes.
Integrating Plants Into Chinese Medicine From Outside China1
1. Integrating Plants into Chinese Medicine from Outside China: A Methodology Thomas Avery Garran 05-21-2011Taichung,Taiwan
2. Why is this important? Chinese medicine is an evolving system, if there is a way to improve it, we should try to do so. Although there are over 5000 plants used throughout China, only about 500 (10%) are used beyond local traditions. This is primarily because the best has been culled out and into the primary medicine.
3. Difference between Chinese medicine practiced in the West and in Asia In the West many patients are already using some of Western herbs Western herbs are often higher quality The use of Western herbs is more sustainable
4. History Chinese medicine has long history of integrating plants from outside of Chinese into Chinese medicine Example: myrrh, frankincense, American ginseng, corn silk, turmeric, coix, evodia, cinnamon, etc.
5. Tools Historical usage Understanding thoroughly how a plant has been used historically Botanical relationships Very important as traditionally there have been plants used from same genus or even family as the same herb within Chinese medicine, ex. Chemistry Experience Knowledge and experience in Chinese medicine
6. Historical Usage Understanding the systems plants have been used in This can be complicated in the West Understanding the historical usage of plants Because of the above, this is both complicating and helpful
7. Historical Usage Looking at different descriptions of plant usage Finding similarities throughout this history Finding connections between descriptions in Western literature and Chinese theory and materiamedica Hypericumperforatum Avenafatua Arnica montana

16. Monarda punctata Mild, diffusive, stimulating and relaxing antispasmodic nervine and carminative Warming to the stomach, relieves vomiting and diarrhea, especially from acute illness Diaphoretic for colds, catarrhal fever and eruptive fevers
17. Genus Relationships Polygala Chinese name 远志 (multiple species used) Angelica Multiple species used Ligusticum Chinese names 川芎 and 藁本 (multiple species used) Leonorus Chinese name 益母草 (multiple species used) Scutellaria Chinese names 黄芩 and 半支莲 and others * Scrophularia Chinese name 玄參 (two or more species used) Taraxacum Chinese name 蒲公英 (multiple species used)
18. Polygala senaga Stimulate expectoration for chronic coughs with excessive phlegm Used in chronic asthma Considered warm and stimulating
19. Angelica archangelica Diaphoretic for cold conditions Dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea do to cold Cough with abundant mucus Cold pains in the digestive tract Comforts the heart, blood and spirit
20. Ligusticum porterii; L. grayii Head ache do to cold Sore throat with common cold Dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea Body aches and pains do to invasion of external influences or injury
21. Leonorus cardiaca Dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, or pain in the back during menstruation Lochia not arriving or scant, especially with “after-pains” Suppressed labor Pain in the chest with palpitations and nervousness Chronic nervousness, anxiety, insomnia associated with anemia

24. Taraxacum officinale Jaudice Congestion of the liver and spleen Digestive weakness Inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract, especially from epidemic illnesses
