Oja
To maintain the immune system of the body the essentiality is Oja,
as it is the essence of all the dhatus.
Panchabhoutic Siddhanta
To understand physiology, pathology and pharmacokinetics of ayurvedic
therapeutics the concept of panchabhoutic siddanth is of vital importance.
Phrithwi, Aapa, Teja, Vayu and Akasha are the five (Pancha) basic
elements that are the constituents of all living matter. Together
these five are called Panchamahabhoota.
Purusha
The "Soul" lives in the body so it is considered as purusha,
as anyone who live in this home i.e. body is called purusha. In
ayurveda the body has no meaning without purusha (soul). Whole ayurveda
is compiled for the betterment of karma purusha and thus it holds
great importance in ayurveda.
