According to ayurveda human body consists of three primary life forces or bio-energies called as tri-doshas that control the activities of the body. These doshas are

1. Vata
2. Pitta
3. Kapha

Vata –(space and air) The air upholds the constituents of the body and their courses through the body. It causes all the senses to perform their functions. The movements of body fluid, metabolism, elimination of waste products, semen ejaculation, relaying stimulus to brain and response to organs and tissues, heartbeat, respiration, body movements etc are assisted by VATA. This type of body tends to be thin, with a slender frame and pronounced joints, has dry skin, hair, and lips, quick speech, is flexible to change, creative and imaginative, exhibits mood swings, are attracted to warm climates, can be easily excited sexually.

Pitta –(fire and water) It is digestive fire which transforms food into its useful components through the secretions like digestive juices pigments for absorption and assimilation into the body. It plays a major role in body’s metabolic activities. Pitta Type body has good focus and concentration, is well organized, competitive, self–confident, sexually energetic with more endurance than Vatas, usually light complected and sometimes freckled, are attracted to cooler climates, tends to perspire a lot.

Kapha –(water and earth) It governs structure and fluid balance in the body. It controls weight, growth, lubrication for the joints and lungs, fertility, stability, strength, memory retention and formation of tissues. Kapha type has strong build and excellent stamina, tends to be overweight, slow in learning but has great long term memory, slow to arouse sexually but possesses endurance, has a strong immune system and good health, does not anger easily, does not like cold, damp climates.

Natural Body Resistance

When these doshas are in balanced condition the body remains healthy. Any imbalance among the tridoshas succumbs to diseases. Our modern life style, diet, seasons and externals factors imbalances the tridoshas. Food is the main source of bio-energy.  Human should eat according their digestive capacity. Any indigestible or heavy food produces toxins internally. These accumulated toxins if not exited from the body, affect other organs functionality. Body cells are continuously fighting against aging process. If the body toxin level crosses certain level, it accelerates the aging process and deteriorates the body.

It is required that we bring back normalcy to the balance of these doshas, and expel the toxin produced during the imbalanced condition. There are many treatments for throwing out accumulated toxins from the human body. Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment also called as “Body Detoxification” is a therapy that expels the toxins. Panchakarma treatment therapy varies for different organs of  the body. Also special diet is recommended to enhence the treatment process. Globally there are many numbers of ayurvedic treatment center that undertake panchakarma and other ayurvedic therapy to heal the body with help of nature.  

If we properly follow the rule of daily life there will not be any imbalance in doshas. Hence the body will be strong immune enough to fight against external viruses that freely moving in the air. Human body is like a land for the growth of germ, when it is fertile they can grow very easily. A weak and toxic body is always more prone to virus attack. The condition of human body depends on the various internal and external factors that include land nature, atmosphere, and temperature. During some seasons like rainy and winter seasons in the year viruses become more active. The best way to make human body immune to virus is make it resistive and infertile for viruses. Unlike other medical science ayurveda helps to diagnose the root cause of the problem and strengthen the body systems. Although a slow process, various ayurvedic herbs help to build up body resistance naturally.
