Ayurveda’s Panchbhautik & Tridosha Sidhanta
Ayurveda describes a human body made of five elements- Aakash ( Space), Vayu ( Air ), Agni ( Energy ), Jal ( Water ), Prithvi ( Earth ). The equilibrium of these five elements in the body denotes health while their imbalance or disturbance denotes disease. Panchabhautik chikitsa is a branch of Ayurveda which bases the analysis and treatment based upon this principle.
