Physiology of ayurveda

All matter (including human body) is thought to be composed of five basic elements Panchbhutas which exhibit the properties of earth(prithvi);water(jal);fire(agni)(tejas);wind(vayus and space(akash).

These elements do not exist in isolated forms but always in combination in which one or more dominates.

In humanbody these element are present in the form of DOSHAS.

VATA PITTA AND KAPHA

Vata is made up of a combination of air and space.Pitta is a combination of fire and water. kapha is made up of earth and water.
