tissues). Dosha and Dhatus have relation with each other in
health and disease. In pathogenesis of disease these both play
key role.
 Following are the seven Dhatus:

 Rasa (Plasma)

 Rakta (Blood)

 Mamsa (Muscle)

 Meda (Adipose)

 Asthi (Bone)

 Majja (Marrow)

 Shukra (Reproductive tissues)

 Governed
Mahabhoota Functions in the body
Sensory faculty

All opening and spacious organs of the body are areas of the Aakash
Mahabhoota;
Aakash Mahabhoota Sense of Hearing
it provides space for the movement of different fluids and nutrients in the
body

It is the mobile part of the body. It is responsible for inhalation- exhalation,

Vayu Mahabhoota Sense of touch movements of different fluid in the body and movements of different body
parts. Opening and closure of eye lids.

It is the fire component of the body. It is responsible for the regulation of

Agni Mahabhoota Sense of seeing body temperature; glowing and lustrous skin; digestion and assimilation of
food in digestive system as well as digestion at micro level.

It is the binding force of the body which is responsible for staying together of
different body parts. It also acts as the media for the transportation of body
Jala Mahabhoota Sense of taste
fluids and nutrients inside the body and expulsion of body wastes as swat and
urine out of the body.

It is the structure forming part of the body. It provides structural frame work

BASIC CAUSES OF DISEASE

 Asatmendriyaratha samyoga (unwholesome combination

of senses and their objects)
 Prgnaparadha (Incorrect dicisions)

 Parinama (time/season)

CONCEPT O AGNI
 Digestive fire: Referred to as Agni, this term is a
representation of metabolism, and comprise digestion,
 absorption and assimilation. It is vital for turning
assimilated food into Dhatus, like plasma, blood,
 muscle, bone and fat. The food is also broken down to
form seminal fluid in men, Artava in women
 (English language does not have any term for Artava)
and Ojas, the vital force, in both. Medically
 speaking, it can be considered the tissue responsible for
secreting Serotonin and Dopamine
 Agni is biological fire responsible for metabolism
 Healthy Agni is important for digestion, absorption,
assimilation and transformation of nutrients into energy
TYPES OF AGNI
There are thirteen kinds of agni

 One jatharagni (Primary metabolic factor)

 Five bhutagnies (Secondary metabolic factor)
 Seven dhatvagnies (cellualr metabolic factor)
 Jatharagni - It performs digestion of food in GI tract and
considered to govern other 'Agnis'.
 Dhatvagni - Every Dhatu has a particular type of Agni,
which is responsible for that for that particular tissue
metabolism. These are seven in number.
 Bhutagni - Each of the five Mahabhuta (elements) has a
specific Agni, which is responsible for molecular
metabolism
IMPAIRED AGNI
 Impaired Agni leads to disease.
 As the food is not digested it results into Ama (toxins)

 Ama clogs/blocks the Srotas (Channels) causing

obstruction to flow of Prana (Life force)
HOW TO MAINTAIN PROPER AGNI
FUNCTION?
 Drinking Warm water

 Fasting

 Fresh ginger with a few drops of lime juice and pinch of

salt just before meal.

 Herbal Tea like Ginger, Tulsi, CCF (Equal parts of

Cumin, Coriander and Fennel)
HOW TO INCREASE AGNI
 Certain Pranayama (Breathing Exercises) like Bhastrika
(Bellows breathing), Kapalbhati etc.

 Physical Exercise

 Right nostril breathing

CONCEPT AMA (TOXINS)
 It is improper digestion of he food due to weak digestive
fire leads to accumulation of toxins in the body called
ama
 This ama is basic cause of all kinds of the disorders
SHTAKRIYA KALA (SIX STAGES OF
DISEASE MANIFESTATION)

1. Sanchaya (accumulation)
2. Prakopa (aggravation)
3. Prasara (dispalcament)
4. Sthana samshray (get seated in other space)
5. Vyakta (manifestation of signs and symptoms)
6. Bhada (manifestation of disease)
TREATMENT

 The treatment in Ayurveda can be classified broadly into

two-

i. Shamana Chikitsa (Alleviating Therapy)

ii. Sodhana Chikitsa (Purification Therapy)

SAMSHAMANA

 It can be followed when dosha are mild to moderately

vitiated.
 It can be followed after sodhana chikitsa (Herbal
medicines are used internally and externally to correct
the disorder) to restore functions of Doshas, Dhatus,
Malas and Agni.
 Increases Immunity. (Ex: Rasayana-chavanprasha)

 The restoration of normality is brought about without

any elimination.
The treatment, which doesn't eliminate the doshas or elevate those,
which are in normal condition but tries to bring equilibrium in the
imbalanced doshas, is called as "Shamana".

It can be done in seven ways:

 Pachana (Carminative)

 Deepana [Appetizers]

 Kshudha [fasting]

 Trushna (Thirst)

 Vyayama [exercise]

 Aatapa [sun bath]

 Maruta sevana (Exposure to wind)

SANSHODHANA

 The main aim of this treatment is to eliminate the internal causative

factors of the disease. A large quantities of toxic bi-products are
formed in the body as a result of continuous metabolic process.
 Most of the toxins are eliminated naturally by the body’s excretory
system,some may get deposited in the various tissues of the body,
which ensures the vitiation of Doshas, Dhatus etc. and then the
normal functioning of the system is impaired.
 Similarly disease causing toxins accumulate in the body as a result
of various factors like wrong habits, wrong food habits,
incompatible combination of food items, suppression of the body
urges, emotional imbalance etc.
 Panchakarma therapeutic procedures are used to facilitate the
elimination of such harmful factors (toxins).
PANCH-KARMAS
 Panchakarma means five kriyas which purify &
eliminate the impurities from the body
 Panchakarma: are the five purificatory procedures
which include:-
1. Vamana - Induced vomiting
2. Virechana - Purgation
3. Basti - Medicated enema
4. Nasya - Application of small drops of medicine
through nose
5. Raktamokshana - Blood letting

PURVAKARMA
 Purvakarma: Pre-purification Measures for Panchakarma 
Before the actual operation of purification begins, there is a need to prepare the
body in prescribed methods to encourage the release of toxins. The two
procedures are Snehana and Swedana.

 Snehana (Oiliation therapy):

Two types i.e. internal and external. External snehan is oil applied to the entire
body with a particular type of massage which helps the toxins to move towards
the gastro-intestinal tract. Oil massage also makes the superficial and deep
tissues soft and supple, thus helping to remove stress and to nourish the nervous
system. Snehana is given daily for three to seven days, as indicated. Similarly
internal snehan is also done by taking medicated ghee orally.

 Swedana is sudation or sweating and is given following the Snehana. An herbal

concoction may be added to the steam to further loosen the toxins from the
individual. Swedana liquefies the toxins and increases the movement of toxins
into the gastro-intestinal tract.
 SNEHANA [oileation therapy]

Eligibility for performing snehana

 Thin, feeble [weak] persons

 In diseases like Facial paralysis, sciatica, joints pain.

 It has been contra indicated in obesity, indigestion,

abortion/miscarriage.

 BENEFITS OF SNEHANA:
By this treatment the skin becomes soft, the tissues are rejuvenated,
appetite improves, the internal organs get cleansed.
SWEDANA

To give steam bath to the body or the affected part may be

described as swedana. It is mainly performed after snehana
since snehana softens the doshas and swedana liquiefies them,
directing them towards the kostha [trunk] for elimination.

Swedana is recommended in the following diseases:

 Facial Paralysis

 Hemiplegia

 Rigidity or spasmodic pain in the flanks, back, waist etc.

 Sciatica , Pain in the muscles of thigh, calf muscles

 Gaurava [feeling of heaviness in the body]

 Swedana should not be performed in diseases like
diabetes, diarrhoea, anaemia, ascites, in indigestion. It is
also contraindicated in pregnancy. While performing
sudation care should be taken to protect the heart, eyes
and testes. It should be performed till the person feels
light and the pain subsides.

 BENEFITS

By performing sudation the body becomes soft, the

doshas get loosened from the affected srotasas [system]
and get directed towards the koshtha
PRADHANA KARMA
PRADHAN-KARMA

VAMAN [Emesis]
 In this process the vitiated doshas are thrown out of the
body by induced emesis. It is the most effective
treatment in Kapha dosha.
 Vaman is recommended in Vasant rutu [spring season]
since there is natural increase of kapha dosha in our
body. In a disease having predominance of kapha dosha.
Vaman can be performed after snehana and swedana.
INDICATIONS OF VAMANA

helmenthic infections, sore throat, epistaxis or a person who has taken enema.
VIRECHANA [PURGATION]
 The process by which increased doshas situated in the
intestines [pakvashaya] are eliminated through the anus
is called as Virechana.
 It is the main treatment on increased Pitta dosha and is
recommended in Sharad rutu due to its natural increase
in the specified season. Though this may be the case it
can be performed in any season depending on the
severity of the disease.

BASTI

 Since most of the diseases are caused due to imbalance in Vata dosha
this treatment is said to cure half of the diseases.It has been referred as
"Ardha Chikitsa". Though this treatment can be used according to the
gravity of the disease it is mainly to be performed in the varsha rutu
[Rainy season] owing to the natural increase of Vata dosha in this
season.

 It is of two types:

1.NIROOHA BASTI- It mainly contains decoction of medicinal herbs

and a little amount of fat in it. It has been indicated in gout, diabetes,
hyperacidity, dysuria, metrorhagia, heart diseases. So also it is not

NASYA

 Nose is said to be the entrance to the head [Brain].

Shirovirechana eliminates the increased doshas situated in
the head. This is a process in which the medication is given
through the nose. The medication is either in powdered
form which is blown in the nostrils through certain specific
instruments or in the form of medicated oils which is given
with the help of dropper.

 It can be performed to maintain health or in diseases like

Headache, Hicca [hiccups] Manyastambha [Cervical 
spondylosis], Swarabhransha [Sore throat], in epilepsy, skin
disorders.
BENEFITS

By performing Nasya the breathing process becomes

smooth and the indriyas [Special senses] i.e the nose,
ears, eyes, throat, tongue strengthen and improve their
function.
RAKTA MOKSHANA
 Rakta or blood has been described as the fourth dosha by some acharyas. It is called
"Jeevan" or life. If there is any disturbance in its circulation, constitution it causes
disease. So to reduce the rakta dushti or impurites of the blood this process has been
described. "Rakta mokshana" means extracting blood from the body through certain
specific equipments like Shrunga [horn of an animal], Alabu [An instrument prepared
from dried bottlegourd], Jalauka [Leech] , Siravedha [puncturing a vein].

ten years of age or after seventy years.
Shirovirechana should not be performed before seven
years and after eighty years.
Siravedhana should not be done before sixteen years or
after seventy years
PASCHAT KARMA
 Paschat karma can be described as the dietetic regimen
to be followed after taking panchkarma treatment. It is
important since it activates the appetite in slow but sure
manner. If this is not followed properly the various
processes give rise to complications.
 Some general rules to be followed after performing
panchkarma: Avoid eating cold food, cold

being is determined at the time of conception. This
constitution is called Prakriti.
 A unique of classifying the individual personality

 Prakriti is the physical & psychological constitution of

the individual which is determined on the basis of three
doshas.
 One of the very important concepts of Ayurveda is that
one’s basic constitution is fixed throughout his life time.
FACTORS DETERMINE THE PRAKRITI
 Sukra-shonit prakriti (condition of sperm-ovum)
 Kala –Garbhasaya prakriti (condition of uterus)

 Matu-ahar prakriti (food regimen adopted by Mother, during

pregnancy
 Seven Types of prakriti-
 Vata , Pitta, Kapha, Vata-pitta, Pitta-kapha, Kapha-vata, Vata-pitta-
kapha (Tridosaj)
 Our Nature- does not change
 There is an ideal proportion of doshas for each person. The
key is determining the individual’s balance and bringing him in
line with it. There is no “perfect formula” for everyone.
 It is the innate dosha balance
RASAYANA THERAPY
 Rejuvenation therapy
