Human beings are one of the many living orgnisms present on earth.We are physically made of exactly same elements that form all other entities that live on earth.Ayurveda has drawn most comprehensive picture of human body and the natural world,saying that the element of nature-Panchmahabhutas: Prithvi[Earth], Jala[Water], Vayu[Air], Agni[Fire] and Akasha[Space] are also component of human body.When we die our body returns to earth,water,fire,air and space.

In our body space/akasha is present where ever there is cavity like nostrills,lungs,mouth,ear,throat and stomach.Air/vayu in movement in lungs,heart,stomach,intestines and joints.Fire/agni is metabolic activity,the eyes, intelligence and body temperature.Water/jala is all plasma,muscles,mucus and saliva.Earth/prithvi is any solid structure like fat,muscles,skin,nails and hair. These Panchmahabhutas are manifested in three types of humors Vata,Pitta and kapha.These three are further recognized as tridoshas or three faults-vata,pitta and kapha irregularties.Just as every person has a unique finger print,according to ayurveda each person has a distinct pattern of energy-a specific combination of physical.natural and emotional characterstics.

Ayurveda describes about these three fundamental energies that governs our inner and outer environments:movements,transformation and structure.These primary forces are responsible for the chacteristics of our mind and body.These are basic energy type called dosha present in every body.These three doshas are backbone of Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatments.Diagnosis and treatment are based on tridosha concept.
