Want Health? Take Care Of Your Roots!

As per the philosophy and health insight of Ayurveda, the science of life, our body has its roots in three basic aspects –

1.    The Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha or the body humors viz.Air, Fire and Phlegm.

2.    The Dhatus - Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra; or the Body tissues viz. Juice / Plasma, Blood, Muscle, Fat, Bone, Bone-Marrow and Semen.

3.    The Malas - Mootra, Pureesha and Sweda ie. the body wastes i.e. Urine, Faeces and Sweat.

How These Matter?

All these 3 – Dosha, Dhatu and Mala – together make the roots of the entire body. It has been specified that an upsurge as well as deterioration of the tree depends mainly on the roots that make it; similar experience is undergone by the body. Not only this, the influence of healthiness as well as losing wellness also exclusively depends on roots or the original support system of the tree; alike it is with the human body.

Ancient Shloka

“Dosh Dhatu Mala Moolam Hi Shareeram”

This ancient shloka indicated in Ayurveda text regards the Doshas, Dhatus and Malas as roots of the Body. And therefore, it is implicit that our health as well as losing of it, along with our bodily development as well as debility, reasons primarily into the status of our own integral roots (the body humors, body tissues and the body wastes (Video)).
