Concepts & PrinciplesAccording to ayurveda there are three factors in our body which control all of our mental and physical functions. These will be different in different persons depending on which their body functions like, digestion, sleep etc. may also vary. These are VATHAPITHA and KAPHA and they are called doshas. There will be a basic combination of these three in every person which is decided by the genetic make up of that person and it cannot be changed during the life time. But there can be deviations from this combination because of reasons like any disease, any major changes in the food habits, life style etc. These will be manifested on the body and mind of a person in the form of various symptoms. So in ayurveda we call the disease as an imbalance of these three factors and health as the balance of the same. So any effort to cure a disease is to make the doshas in balance.

As in the case of internal medicines, every food material in theworld has a specific taste and other properties according to which we canexplain their ability to regulate the imbalance of the doshas. For example,milk is considered as sweet in taste, cold and heavy to digest, so it will aggravate kapha and at the same time reduces vata and pitha. Like this wecan make use of the food materials towards the balancing of everydoshas. Apart from the body type, food for a patient during the period oftreatment will be mainly based on body condition or the diseases. In that,some diseases need highly specific foods otherwise which may aggravatethe disease or counteract the medicines. Sometimes during sometreatments there will be big restrictions in the food as in Snehapanam orVirechanam.
