Concept of Guna of Tridoshaa and Regulatory Mechanism
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda is a holistic system of health care which operates around certain principles and their applications. Ayurveda postulates that everything in this universe is made up of five mahabhutas (fundamental particles) and the configuration of mahabhutas leads to manifestations of some gunas (properties).The human living system is explained by doshaa, dhatu, mala complex .The dhatus forms the basis to perform all physiological functioning of the body, whereas the doshaas regulates this function, and mala is the excretable waste products of this function. Each of these doshaa, dhatu and mala is attributed with a definite sets of gunas, for example, vata (air) has seven gunas- ruksha (dry), sheet (cold), laghu (light), sukshma (minute), chala (mobile), vishada (clear), khara (rough). Ayurveda opines that guna is the cause which leads to manifestation of an effect. There are 10 opposite pair i.e. 20 shareer gunas (qualities) that functions within the body. It is said that a doshaa performs specific functions on basis of particular guna and the opposite guna found in another doshaa regulates this function. The doshaas do not compete, but complement with each other in terms of their gunas for proper functioning of the body by regulating each other’s functions to the optimum level.
