According to the Āyurveda, the body is comprised of three primary forces, termed Doṣa i.e. (i) Vāyuh (ii) Pitta, and (iii) Kapha. The state of equilibrium between the doṣa is perceived as a state of health; the state of imbalance is a disease. Each Doṣa represents characteristics derived from the five elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth. Herbs are used to heal the diseases of the mind and body and to foster longevity.
