The science of understanding our nature is\u00a0the science of\u00a0tridosha. It\u00a0defines the three fundamental energies or principles which govern the function of the body on the physical and emotional level. The three energies (doshas) are\u00a0known as vata (wind), pitta (bile) and kapha (phlegm). Usually one or two doshas are dominant in a person. Each person is a unic combination of these elements. This theory in ayurveda\u00a0originated from the\u00a0theory\u00a0of the five elements of the universe: earth, water, fire, air and space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Disease may be classified according to its origin: psychological, spiritual or physical and also according to the site of manifestation: heart, lungs, liver and so forth. The disease process may begin in the stomach or in the intestines, but manifest in the heart or lungs. Diseases are also classified according to the causative factors and bodily dosha: vata, pitta, kapha. For instance, disturbed vata creates fear, depression and nervousness, excess pitta in the body will cause anger, hate and jealousy. Aggrivated kapha creates possessiveness, greed and attachment. Thus, there is a direct connection between diet, habits, environment and emotional disorders. Impairment of the bodily humors, vata pitta kapha, creates toxins ama that are circulated through the body. During this circulation, toxins accumulate in the weak areas of the body. If the joint is a weak area, for example , disease will manifest there. What creates these toxins and bodily weaknesses?<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pitta contains heat-energy which helps digestion, this heat-energy is agni. Pitta and agni are essentially the same with the subtle difference: pitta is the container and agni is the content. Agni is a biological fire that governs metabolism. It is acidic in nature, its action breaks down food. It destroys micro-organisms, foreign bacteria and toxins in the stomach, small & large intestines and protects the flora in these organs. Longivity depends upon agni. Intelligence, understanding, perception and comprehension are also the functions of agni. As long as agni is functioning properly, the processes of breaking down food and absorbing and assimilating it into the body will operate smoothly. When agni becomes impaired because of imbalance in the tridosha, the metabolism is drastically affected. The body\u2019s resistance and immune system are impaired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Food components remain undigested and unabsorbed. They accumulate in the large intestine turning into heterogeneous, sticky substance.\u00a0This material, which is called ama, clogs the intestines and other channels, such as cappilaries and blood vessels.\u00a0 It eventually undergoes many chemical changes which create toxins.\u00a0These toxins are absorbed into blood and enter the general circulation. They eventually accumulate in the weaker parts of the body, where they create contraction, clogging, stagnation and weakness of the organs and reduce the immune mechanism of the respective tissues. Finally, a disease condition manifests in the effected organs and is identified as arthritis, diabetes, heart diseases and so on. The root of all disease is ama. There are many causes for the development of ama. For example, whenever incompatible foods are ingested, agni will be directly affected as a result of the toxins, or ama, created, created from these poorly digested foods. Ama develops when agni\u2019s function is retarded; however, overactive agni is also detrimental. When agni becomes hyperactive, the digestive process burns away, through overcombustion, the normal biological nutrients in the food and emaciation results. This condition also lowers the body\u2019s immunity.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Toxins are also created by emotional factors. Repressed emotions will cause disturbances in the mind and eventually in the functioning of the body. Repressed anger, for example, completely changes the flora of the gallbladder, bile duct and small intestine, causing inflamed patches on the mucouse membranes of the stomach and small intestine. Repressed emotions create imbalance of vata which in turn affects agni, the body\u2019s auto-immune response. When agni is low, an abnormal immune reaction may occur. This reaction may cause allergies to certain substances, such as pollen and dust. Allergies are closely related to the immune responses of the body, that\u2019s why individuals who are born with an abnormal immune reaction often suffer allergies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Facial diagnosis: If disorder is present it will be indicated on the face. Horizontal wrinkling on the forehead indicates you have deep-seated worries and anxieties. A vertical line between the eyebrows on the right side indicates your emotions are repressed in liver. A vertical line between the eyebrows on the left side indicates your spleen is holding in emotions. When the lower eyelids are full and puffy, it indicates that the kidneys are impaired.*<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
