Ayurveda has a very unique and scientific concept of Dosas.
Dosas are the physiological entities which performs the normal activities of body.
But if they are disturbed they are responsible for diseases.

Dhatus are the main constituents after the Doshas for the overall development and functioning of the Body, according to Ayurveda. Sama dosha, sama agni, sama dhatu and sama mala kriya leads to healthy state of the body. There are seven numbers of Dhatus present in our body Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra.
This is a general description of structural framework of our body, what we call as - Dhatu in Ayurveda. This is just for the basic understanding of the concept of Dhatu including nutrition to them.
The 'Sutra' is that power of words endowed to mankind to express his thoughts in a short and apt form. These Sutras are the conclusions of exhaustive survey of several years corroborating the experiences of ages. As the definition of Sutra states.
The one which comprises of minimum letters but maximum matter which is in the form of confirmed pure knowledge, and also possessing the power of self elaboration is defined as Sutra.
The Sutras possessing such a broad speculum are collected to comprehend the Samhita or Tantra. But the essence of the Samhita is extracted in its Sutrasthana only. The main and important classic, which narrates Ayurveda Shastra, is Caraka Samhita, which is the foundation stone of Ayurvedic literature. This Dwadasha Sahasri Samhita is also divided in eight Sthanas, amongst them the Sutrasthana which is most important being the Adyasthana and is representive of rest Sthanas.
Just like a thread, which keeps all the flowers together in garland. similarly Sutrasthana comprises the essence of all Sthanas in seed form.
The nectar from all the flowers of the rest 7 Sthanas is collected to design the Sutrasthana.
The Sutrasthana lies as the Madhusancaya of the Samhita. This nectar of knowledge has been stored by Acharya Charaka in very beautiful way i.e. in the form of Chatuska Methodology.

The theory of tridosha
Vayu (vata),Pitta and Kapha(sleshma) are individually called DOSHAS and are grouped together as TRIDOSHAS in ayurveda
When these three humhours are well harmonised and function in a balanced manner,
it is results in good nourishment and a feeling of well-being in the individual.
But when there is imbalance or disharmony within or between them, it will lead to various kinds of ailments. Ayurvedic concept of physical health revolves around these TRREE DOSHAS
Vayu is responsible for all movements and sensations, including motor actions in side the body
Pitta is responsible for all physio chemical activitis of the body in the form of metabolism, production of heat and energy
Kapha is the substance which maintains compactness in the body by providing the fluid matrix to it.

A clear and basic introduction to the principals of Ayurveda. This power point is the presentation I created to help people gain a deeper understanding of Ayurveda.
Padartha Vijnana means the science which deals with the substances in the universe, its relationship with the living being in terms of their properties, functions; methods of understanding them etc.
Generally the subject Padartha Vigyan is considered as tough in the field of Ayurveda. But, it is the most useful subject than any other in Ayurveda.
The topics dealt in it are the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda on which entire chikitsa stands.
Understanding the elements in the universe is mandatory before studying the body. In this book, the subject matter is discussed with the help of different darśana and other shastras which are correlated with Ayurveda System.
Hence this will be a good guide for the BAMS students; as it includes all the subject matters in according to the revised syllabus prescribed by NCISM, 2021.

Concept of srotas from ayurvedic perspective with special reference to neurologypharmaindexing
Ayurveda is a life science. The researchers of ayurveda could rule out the presence of srotas (channels) spreading throughout the human body. These srotas (channels) are governed by vayu which is using all the srotas (channels) of the body to carry out the functional and physiological activities of the human body without which the human society will not exist. Several synonymous words have been described by the ayurvedicacharyas for srotas. Some are micro and some are macro in structures and they adopt the same colour of the particular dhatus of the body to which it belongs. The aim of the study is to justify that srotas are nothing but innurmerable channels or pathways of the nervous system governed by electric current without which no functional and physiological activities of the human body will develope.

Ayurveda is divided into eight parts. Hence it is also known as Ashtanga ayurveda.
These are as follows: Kaya, Bal, Graha, Urdhwa, Shalya, Dhanstra, Jara, Vrishan.
Upadhatu refers to the secondary tissues or organs in Ayurveda. They are derived from the primary tissues known as Dhatus. The Upadhatu are formed as a result of the transformation and metabolism of the Dhatus. They play important roles in various physiological functions and contribute to overall health.Each Upadhatu has its own specific functions and significance in maintaining overall health and well-being according to Ayurvedic principles.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
3. INTRODUCTION
Dosha implies both Bodily and
psychological state of mind.
psychological doshas have their
origin from Ahankara. Where as
bodily doshas get their origin from
five element (Sankhya philosophy).
3
4. Visargadaana vikshepa……. – Loka
purusha saamya siddhanata of Susruta
relates doshas to universal entities.
4
5. DEFINITION OF DOSHA
In general dosha means bodily dosha
But doshas are two types –
bodily & psychological
Bodily doshas are 3 types - vata pitta kapha
psychological doshs are 2 types - rajas &
tamas
5
6. Though, the term ‘Doṣa’ means ‘the
disturbing factor’, it has got definite
physiological importance in normal state
6
7. NEED OF PHILOSOPHY &SPIRUTUALITY
The power of science however is
limited.
Mere physical perception is not
at all sufficient for elucidation
of mysteries of life & it had been
recognised by Ayurveda long back.
7
8. That’s why charaka explained concept
of philosophy discussed side by
side with problem of life /diseases
of life
Life = shareera
(body)+indriya(senses)+manas(mind)/
satva(pure essence)+atma(soul)
8
9. PANCHAMAHABHOOTA & TRIDOSHA
Body is derived from five element so the
shareera is pancha bhouthika.
Still it is said that
cause of generation of body
is vata pitta kapha
9
10. The question now arises if
the Five element theory
was sufficient to explain every
thing why these three entities
been introduced in Ayurveda
10
11. Any disturbance in normal proportion
of the Five element in
body leads to vikara/roga (disease)
Change in this proportion may
take place in an infinite
number of ways & causes
infinite variety of diseases.
11
12. TRIDOSHA IS A DRAVYA
What ever the vata pitta kapha may mean
they must be included in 6 padharta of
vaisheshika darshana otherwise whole
foundation & concept of Ayurveda will break
down.
By definition of samanya vishesha samavaya -
tridosha cannot fill into these .
12
13. So tridosha can be included in dravya.
Dravyas are 9 we can eleminate manas
(mind) atma(soul) kala(cycle of time)
disha (direction) which can not be
tridosha
13
14. DEFINITION OF TRIDOSHA
Ayurveda is based on functional understanding
of the body..
This theory forms the basis of Ayurvedic
physiology, pathology and pharmacology.
14
15. The different entities representing
‘Tridosas’ at each level of organization
can be assumed by analysing these
functions.
15
16. Basically three Doshas (Vata Pitta and
Kapha)- are responsible for
maintenance of homeostasis in the
body, and health is nothing but a state
of equilibrium of these ‘Tridoshas
16
17. Disease is manifested as a result of
disturbance in the state of equilibrium among
these Doshas.
The state of equilibrium among these
‘Doshas’ is responsible for maintenance of
health.
17
18. The concept of ‘Tridosha’ is basically a
theory and any single substance or
structure in the body can not represent
a ‘Dosha’
18
19. Terms like ‘Pittavarga’ and ‘Kaphavarga’ have
been used in some textbooks and such usage
indicates that these (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) were
perceived to be three groups of physiologically
similar substances.
19
20. In generalized terms, the nervous,
endocrine and immune mechanisms can
be equated to ‘Vāta’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’
respectively.
20
21. Main function of dosha explained
according to sthana anusara ÷d
into five types according to karma
anusara.
21
22. TRIDOSHA REF
Charaka has explained vata and its type in
detail
Sushruta - vata&pitta
Vagbhata explained all tridoshas and its type
in detail
22
24. SIMILARITY BETWEEN LOKA & SHAREERA
In Susruta’s view the life on this universe is
maintained because of three opposing factors
known as Sun, Moon and the Air. The Sun
exerts a drying effect on earth whereas the
moon is coolant and strengthening in nature
Air brings about all types of movements.
24
25. In exactly similar manner, the body is
sustained by three opposing factors
called Vata Pitta and Kapha(Su. Su.
21/8)
25
26. TRIDOSHA ITS GUNA, KARMA&STHANA
Vata is responsible for all movements and it is
the initiating and controlling factor.
Pitta performs the activities like digestion,
metabolism, production of heat and that is why it
is called ‘Agni’ meaning ‘Fire’
26
27. Kapha performs the functions like
protection, strength,stability and
resistance.
27
28. Vata is prime cause for movement of
pitta & kapha.
28
29. CONT…
Vata produce sheetata when movement is
decreased ushnata when movement is
more.So to give movement to kapha and
pitta vata should have both attributes but
opposite attributes cannot reside in one so
vata is anushnasheeta.
In text it said vata is sheeta but practicaly its
anushnasheeta
29
30. PRODUCTION OF DOSHA &PRAKRITHI
Vata in katu avasta paka, pitta by amla avasta
paka, kapha by madhura avasta paka
Doshaja prakrithi&manasika (pshycological)
prakrithi also plays major role in normal
production of dosha in body.
30
31. Doshaja/Shareerika (bodily) prakrithi
depend on prakrithi of father & mother,
shukra (sperm) & shonita (ovum)
sanyoga kala (time) ,rutu/season , daily
doshik variations like vata dominate in
evening & last part of night.
31
32. CONT…
Germ layers will be produced after shukra
shonitha samyoga these germ layers are
responsible for doshaja prakrithi nirmana
ECTOMORPH-VATAJA PRAKRITHI
MESOMORPH-PITTA PRAKRITHI
ENDOMORPH-KAPHAJA PRAKRITHI
32
33. We can see the disease related to
ectodermal origin organ/part in
ectomorph i.e in vataja prakrithi
E.g.-neurological disease are often seen
in vataja prakrithi person
33
34. RAKTHA IS DHATU NOT DOSHA
Sushruths has included blood in the category
of doshas but in indirect sense ,his work being
mainly one on surgery,he has to deal
frequently with blood
34
35. Raktha has no power of deranging
another substance i.e Raktha doesn't do
dooshana of other substance as tridosha
does
Raktha will get vitiated by tridosha
35
36. CONT…
Raktha doesn't have prakrithi producing
property like vataja prakrithi there is no
rakthaja prakrithi
36
37.
38. VATA
All functions of nervous system in human body
are represented through Vata in Ayurveda.
All movements are due to Vata and that is why
it is called the Prana of all living beings. (Ca.
Su. 18/118).
38
39. So, Pranavaha Srotas stands for the
system concerned with the activities of
Vata.
Pranavaha Srotas stands for the system
that transports a specific type of vata
called Prana Vata, this is a special
Srotas meant for a special type of
Vata(Cakrapāni Ca.Vi. 5/8)
39
41. Sub-Types of Vata
Prana – The vital force, life giving
Udana – Upward movement, to
sustain memory
Vyana – Vehicle of
circulation,pulsation
Samana – Balancing digestion,
assimilation of food
Apana – Elimination of semen,

45. FUNCTIONS OF VATA
In general, the functions of Vata are:
Control and coordination of different parts of
the body
Initiation of all movements
Regulation of psychological processes
45
46. Initiation of all activities of sense
organs
Transmission of different sensations
Production of speech
Secreto- motor functions in the gut
Expulsion of wastes from the body and
control of respiration (Ca.Su.12/8)
Term ‘Vega’ stands almost equivalent to
reflex.
46
47. PRANA VATA
This is situated in head and is responsible
for the control over intellectual functions,
cardiovascular functions, sense organs,
psychological activities, respiration, and
reflex activities like sneezing, belching and
deglutition (A.H.Sū. 12/5).
Based on this subtype of ‘Vata’ ‘Prānavaha
Srotas’ has derived its name.
47
48. UDANA VATA
Its active site is chest region.
It is basically responsible for production of
speech.
The effort and strength required for speech
are also the functions of ‘Udāna’.
It also helps in recall of vocabulary required
for well-articulated speech (A.H.Sū. 12/5)
48
49. VYANA VATA
The active site of ‘Vyana Vata’ is Heart.
It makes the circulation of blood possible by
controlling the heart.
Vyana makes ‘Rasa’ (the intravascular fluid
including plasma and lymph) to get forcefully
ejected out of the heart and makes it
circulate throughout the body (Ca. Ci.
15/36).
So, sympathetic and parasympathetic control
of heart is indicated by Vyana Vata.
49
50. CONT..
Some authors have ascribed the functions of
somatic nervous system also to‘Vyana Vata’ as
movements like flexion, extension, opening
and closure of eyelids have been said to be
under its control (Ca. Ci. 28/9).
50
51. SAMANA VATA
Active site of ‘Samana’ is adjacent to gastro
intestinal tract.
It performs the functions like reception of
food, its digestion through the activation of
‘Agni’, its division into useful and waste parts
and its onward propulsion (A.H. Sū. 12/8).
51
52. APANA VATA
This is active in pelvic region. ‘Apāna’
governs physiological processes like
micturition, defecation, ejaculation,
menstruation and parturition (A.H.Sū.12/9).
Autonomic nervous system has got a definite
role in most of these activities.
52
53. VATA=BIO ENERGY
We can conclude vata as:
Not nerve cell/fibre/system.
Bio energy produced by bio entity passing
through nerve – Sukshmavata.
53
54.
55. ‘Pitta’ includes all those factors responsible
for digestion and metabolism.
For all practical purposes, ‘Agni’ & ‘Pitta’ are
to be considered as identical entities (Su. Su.
21/9, Ca.Sū. 12/11).
55
56. • Agni itself is present in the body in the
form of Pitta.
• It performs the functions like
maintenance of normal digestion,
normal vision, normal body
temperature, normal complexion, valor,
happiness and nutrition.
56
57. CONT..
When it is abnormal, all these functions also
will be abnormal (Ca.Sū. 12/11). Other
functions of endocrine system are described
under the functions of ‘Pitta’.
57
58. ATTRIBUTES / QUALITIES OF PITTA
Snigdha - Oily
Tikshna - Sharp
Ushna - Hot
Laghu - Light
Sara - Spreading
Dravya - Liquid
Vishra – Fleshy smell
55
59. SUB-TYPES OF PITTA
Sadhaka – Thinking,
learning, understanding
Alochaka – Optical
perception, eye color
Ranjaka – Liver enzymes,
produces bile
Pachaka – Enzymes, HCL,
digestion, absorption and
assimilation
Bhrajaka – Skin
pigmentation, color and
temperature
56
60. MAIN SITES OF PITTA
Small Intestine
Heart
Liver
Blood
Brain (grey
matter)
Eyes
Skin
57
61. PACHAKA PITTA
‘Pācaka Pitta’ is equivalent to ‘Jatharāgni’
(A.H. Sū. 12/11).
As its functions suggest, all enzymes
responsible for digestion along with all
gastrointestinal hormones and all local
hormones of G.I.T. are to be included in it.
61
62. RANJAKA PITTA
It is responsible for synthesis of ‘Rakta’.
It is situated in stomach(‘Amāśaya’) according
to Vāgbhata and the sites are liver and spleen
according to Suśruta.
62
63. Gastric intrinsic factor is the best
corelation to represent Vāgbhata’ s
view, as it is required for the absorption
of Vitamin B12, which in turn is needed
for DNA synthesis of RBC precursors in
bone marrow
63
64. BHRAJAKA PITTA
As is known, pigmentation of skin is under
the control of some hormones like ACTH &
MSH from anterior pituitary.
Some enzymes in the skin responsible for the
metabolism of certain drugs applied topically
also can be considered under ‘Bhrājaka Pitta’
along with the hormones controlling
pigmentation.
64
65. SADHAKA PITTA
All functions ascribed to this ‘Pitta’are of
cerebrum, limbic system,hypothalamus and
other CNS structures.
For motivation and other psychosocial
behaviors Norepinephrine is a very essential
neurotransmitter in the brain.
65
66. Incidentally, it also acts on heart as a
cardiac stimulant.
During emergency situations it is
released from adrenal medulla and it
helps for “fight or flight phenomenon”.
66
67. ALOCAKA PITTA
This is said to be responsible for normal
vision.
Photosensitive chemicals in the eye, called
Photo-pigments and the whole process
involved in photochemistry of vision is
represented by ‘Alocaka pitta’.
Also, neurotransmitters involved in the visual
pathway can be included under this.
67
68.
69. KAPHA
When the Ślesma (Kapha) is in normal state,
it is called ‘Bala’ as well as ‘Ojas’; but when it
attains an abnormal state, it is then called
‘Mala’ (Waste) and ‘Pāpmā’ (Disease) (Ca.Sū.
27/117).
69
70. From the above statement it is clear
that ‘Bala’, ‘Ojas’ and‘Kapha’ are
identical entities, at least when ‘Kapha’
is in normal state.
When ‘Kapha’ is in its normal state, it
provides compactness, stability, virility,
immunity and resistance (Ca.Sū.
18/51).
70
71. CONT..
Functions of immune system and all such
other protective mechanisms in the body
have been grouped under ‘Kapha’ in
Ayurveda.
‘Ojas’ is also closely related with ‘Kapha’.
71
74. MAIN SITES OF KAPHA
Mucosal lining of
the stomach
Lungs
Pancreas
Sinuses
Lymph nodes
Joints – Synovial
fluid
Nose
Mouth
Mastic tissue
68
75. AVALAMBAKA KAPHA
Situated in the thorax, ‘Avalambaka Kapha’
protects the ‘Trika’ and other vital structures
like heart, through what is called
‘Ambukarma’.
Other anatomical sites where other types of
‘Kapha’ are situated also are dependent on this
(A.H. Sū. 12/15-16)‘Trika’ region indicates the
meeting point of three bones.
75
76. As this is present in thorax, it must be
indicating the junction between the
sternum and clavicles, behind which,
the thymus gland is situated.
‘Ambu’ means liquid or water. So,
‘Ambukarma’ must be referring to
lymphatic drainage.
76
77. KLEDAKA KAPHA
This is present in stomach and it moistens the
ingested food (A.H. Sū. 12/16-17).
Mucous secreted in stomach plays important
role in offering protection to mucous
membrane of the stomach along with
providing liquid medium for digestive process.
77
78. Also,Gut Assosiated Lymphoid Tissue
helps in providing protection by
preventing the entry of any microbes
through gut.
HCl secreted in stomach also provides
innate immunity to some extent.
All these mechanisms can be explained
through ‘Kledaka Kapha’.
78
79. BODHAKA KAPHA
This is said to be present in oral cavity and
helps in the perception of taste.
Salivary juice secreted in the oral cavity not
only helps in the process of taste perception
but also performs some protective functions.
79
80. Root of the tongue is the site
of‘Bodhaka Kapha’.
Tonsils are the important lymphoid
tissue-containing structures present
there.
80
81. TARPAKA KAPHA
This sub-type of ‘Kapha’ is present inside the
head and is responsible for the protection and
nourishment of sense organs.
Microglia and other similar Glial cells of brain
tissue are some of the important entities,
which may represent ‘Tarpaka Kapha’.
81
82. SLESHAKA KAPHA
This Kapha is present in the bony joints and is
responsible for lubrication and easy
movements.
Movements are most obvious in synovial variety
of joints and synovial fluid reduces the friction
between two articular bony surfaces.
82
83. But ‘Slesaka Kapha’ is not only synovial
fluid.
For several reasons known and
unknown, these joints are the sites of
prominent inflammation in most of the
systemic autoimmune diseases like
Systemic Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus and Rheumatoid arthritis
Such involvement must be, therefore,
ascribed to
the problems of ‘Ślesaka Kapha’.
83
86. Doshas are responsible for manifestation of
disease.
A detailed management of this dhooshita
dosha explained in all text to prevent diseases.
To lead healthy life ,homeostasis of dosha is
essential.
