Diseases in Ayurvedaare the state of body and mind in which a person experiences discomfort, pain and injury. The fundamental cause of disease is the imbalance of the Tridoshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When the three doshasare balanced, the body experiences ‘Health’ and the state of imbalance or disequilibrium is ‘Disease’ or ‘Vyadhi’ in Sanskrit. The imbalance may be due to an increase or decrease in one, two or all the three doshas. The individual is out of harmony both internally and with relation to the environment and experiences unpleasant sensations and misery in some form.
