Elements of a healthy person
Balance or normalcy of the Doshas has been given the top most priority for keeping the body healthy, because the development, maintenance and degeneration of a body is dependent on the Doshas.
The main objective of Ayurveda is to maintain a disease free state. Ayurveda shows us two approaches how to obtain this state – by maintaining the status of a healthy person, and by managing the unhealthy (diseased) condition of an ailing person. If, regardless of the cause, a person falls ill, this will bring about an imbalance of Dhatus (tissues). Keeping the Dhatus in a balanced state will restore the body, mind and spirit to a healthy state.
