Ayurveda is grounded in a metaphysics of the "five great elements" all of whichcompose the Universe, including the human body. Chyle or plasma (called rasa

dhatu), blood (rakta dhatu), flesh (mamsa dhatu), fat (medha dhatu), bone (asthi

dhatu), marrow (majja dhatu), and semen or female reproductive tissue (shukra

dhatu) are held to be the seven primary constituent elements -- saptadhatu of the

body. Ayurveda deals elaborately with measures of healthful living during the

entire span of life and its various phases. Ayurveda stresses a balance of three

elemental energies or humors: vata (air & space "wind"), pitta (fire & water

"bile") and kapha (water & earth "phlegm"). According to ayurveda, these three

regulatory principlesDoshas (literally that which deteriorates Devangarareimportant for health, because when they are in balanced state, the body is healthy,

and when imbalanced, the body has diseases. Ayurveda holds that each human

possesses a unique combination of Doshas. In ayurveda, the human body perceives

attributes of experiences as 20 Guna . Surgery and surgical instruments are

employed. It is believed that building a healthy metabolic system, attaining good

digestion, and proper excretion leads to vitality. Ayurveda also focuses on

exercise, yoga, meditation, and massage. Thus, body, mind, and

spirit/consciousness need to be addressed both individually and in unison for health

to ensue. As Robert Svoboda attempts to summarize the three major paths of the

Vedic knowledge, he exclaims:

"Because every embodied individual is composed of a body, a mind and a spirit,

the ancient Rishis of India who developed the Science of Life organized their

wisdom into three bodies of knowledge: Ayurveda, which deals mainly with the

physical body; Yoga, which deals mainly with spirit; and Tantra, which is mainly

concerned with the mind. The philosophy of all three is identical; their

manifestations differ because of their differing emphases. Ayurveda is most

concerned with the physical basis of life, concentrating on its harmony of mind and

spirit. Yoga controls body and mind to enable them to harmonize with spirit, and

Tantra seeks to use the mind to balance the demands of body and spirit."
