Ayurveda means the science of living. According to Ayurveda, human body is composed of 5 elements earth, water, fire, air and aether.
These 5 elements are represented in the human body as doshas (Vata, pitta and Kapha), 7 dhatus (body constituents) and malas (by products of dhatus). Any imbalance among these constituents results in ill-health and disease.
