Tridosha i.e. Vata dosha, Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha found in the body, if any of these doshas increases then different types of diseases arise in the body.
Ayurveda works on the causes of disease
Ayurveda considers the body, mind and soul of a person as a complete unit and works on this basis. Mind and body influence each other and together they can overcome any disease. According to Ayurveda, two factors, metabolic and carminative, cause different diseases in the body. Metabolic diseases include diseases like obesity, diabetes, blood pressure, shortness of breath, fever, cold and even cancer. Whereas in tuberculosis diseases there is deficiency of nutrients in the body. Langhan therapy i.e. fasting is used to cure metabolic diseases. Whereas, to cure tuberculosis related diseases, Vrihan Chikitsa is used in which necessary nutrition is given to the body.
