❓ What are the fundamental principles of Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is based on the concept of three doshas (biological energies) - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. According to the Charaka Samhita, these doshas govern all physical and mental processes in the body.

The key principles include:

  • Individual constitution (Prakriti) determines health
  • Balance of doshas maintains wellness
  • Prevention is emphasized over cure
  • Treatment considers whole person, not just symptoms

Modern research has shown correlations between dosha theory and human genetics, supporting Ayurveda's personalized approach to health. The World Health Organization now recognizes Ayurveda as a traditional medicine system.
