Abstract

Human biology is a topic of great interest since ages. The scholars of the yore have discovered the anatomy, physiology, pathogenesis of diseases and even the methods of management with a time-tested theory - the Tridosha. Dosha (Vatadaya) that which do vitiation, Dhatu (Rasadaya) that which do conservation and Mala (Mootradaya) that which contaminates. The life is sustained by the equilibrium of the Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. They are the promoting factors of the body with their various quality and functions (Guna & Karma). If all the functions are performed naturally and perfectly, the resultant condition of the body is health. It will be ill otherwise. Together Dosha, Dhatu, Mala are the Moola of the Deha. Then individually what they are? Here an attempt is made to reconsider these aspects.

Keywords: Tridosha, Saptadhatu, Trimala.
