Ayurvedic defines life as a combination of: – senses, mind, body and soul, and that health is a state of balance and disease is imbalance.

The body is seen as being made up of the following five elements and the soul...

• Prithvi or earth
• Apa or water 
• Tejas or fire 
• Vayu or air

Ayurvedic studies the balance of life and describes...

• Advantageous and disadvantageous states of life
• Happy and unhappy states of life 
• What is good or bad for life 
• Span of life

As long as these points remain balanced the person will remain healthy.

In brief, Ayurvedic identifies 3 functional principles or types of energy...

1. Vata – energy of movement / compared to air

2. Pitta – energy of digestion / metabolism / compared to fire
