What is health according to Ayurveda?
In this blog, I discuss the Ayurvedic perspectives of what is health.
A healthy person is described in classical Ayurveda texts as:
“One whose Doshas are balanced, whose digestive fire (Agni) is balanced, whose bodily tissues (Dhātus) and elimination processes (Malas) are functioning normally, and whose senses (Indriya), mind (Manas), and Self (Ātmā) are filled with bliss, such a one is called a healthy person.”
