Ayurveda presents the holistic structure of regulation in any given organism, showing how to classify the regulatory systems that can go wrong, i.e. any failure of natural regulation processes must be an ‘imbalance in the doshas’
Tridosha constitutes the most compact, holistic account of organism regulation ever proposed, integrating all three of its fundamental aspects. Far from describing something esoteric or culturally specific, ancient Ayurvedic texts identify key properties of living organisms, more precisely and economically than modern medical text books, and in a way that is more relevant to the disease process, since their mal- adaptative functioning is directly involved in, and fundamental to, all etiology.
A unique feature of Ayurvedic Treatment is use of whole natural herb/plant medicines thus enabling holistic effects.
