When doshas are working properly all body functions takes place properly and equilibrium of the body is maintained. That means balanced state of doshas is the condition of health. If doshas are in a balanced state all the seven basic body tissues are in a balanced condition, digestive fire is in a balanced state and proper transformation of one tissue into another takes place properly. Soul, mind and sense organs are in a pleasant condition. According to Ayurveda this state is called health. Now a days the concept of health in Ayurveda is accepted world wide.
By birth each individual attains certain characters related to dosha and according to the predominance of these characters Ayurveda categorises individuals into seven ‘Prakrithi’ (constitutional types).They are named in terms of doshas, they are Vatha Prakrithi (Vatha type), Pitha Prakrithi (Pitha type), Kapha Prakrithi (Kapha type), Vaytha-Kapha Prakrithi, Vatha-Pitha Prakrithi, Pitha-Kapha Prakrithi and Tridosha Prakrithi (Vatha-Pitha-Kapha type).
There are lot of factors including life style and adverse climatic conditions which can produce the imbalance of doshas that leads to diseases. To correct the imbalance and to cure diseases Ayurveda suggests certain treatments. They are of two types,
- Sodhana Chikitsa ( Elimination of toxins from the body )
