Abstract :
When Dosha, Dhatu and Mala are in a state of equilibrium along with the wellbeing of mental status is known as the state of Swasth. It has been said that the Tridosha theory in Ayurveda originated from the theory of the three elements of the universe i.e. Vata, Pitta and kapha.
Tridosha are each essential to our body with their very specific set of functions like movements represent Vata, Bio transformations represent Pitta and things clogging together represent Kapha.
Vata is characterized by the mobile nature and it governs movements, communication, the flow of breath, the pulsation of the heart, all muscle contractions, cellular mobility and Vata is linked to creativity and flexibility.
According to Ayurveda the nervous system is governed by Vata Dosha. Prana Vata can be compared to the CNS. Udana Vata with breath and process of respiration. Vyana Vata is related with blood circulation and muscle activities. Based on functions the Saman Vata can be correlated to the ENS which governs the entire GI tract. The Lumbosacral plexus appear similar to the Apana Vata.
