MANSIK DOSHAS We wrapped up our series of physical  Tridoshas in our previous articles. Not so far accustomed to Doshas , then do cast your eyes upon the same! After setting the seal on the physical Tridoshas , let's go through the mental or Maansik Doshas .  Just as the physical Doshas are accountable for the physical well-being and physical distortion of an individual,in the same way, mental Doshas take charge of mental welfare and at the same time,when vitiated, make a mess of the former. These Mansik Tridoshas give the impression of three Doshas , namely Satva,Raja and Tama . These Doshas not only influence our mind but also are astonishingly explicable for the creation of the Universe! It's quite apparent that all the substances present in the Universe are made up of the Panchamahabhuta ; the  air (Vaayu ), the fire (Agni) , the sky (Aakash) , the water (Jala) and the earth (Prithvi) . These Mahabhutas  cannot solely create the entire Uni...

KAPHA With this,we have come to an end to our physical or Sharirik Doshas series. Still not familiar with this,then do go through my articles on the ' Tridoshas ' as well as the Vata and the Pitta so as to get an understanding upon the above mentioned Dosha , the ' Kapha '. The Dosha produced by water is termed as Kapha . Kapha is the one who conjugates the way water does and hence,is responsible for all the anabolic activities undergoing in the body. The Kapha consists of the water and the earth element or the Prithvi and Jala Mahabhuta. One ought to balance their Kapha or Prakrut Kapha . Kapha means unification or Samyog .  • LOCATION(Sthana)-   Kapha is primarily located above the umbilical region or the Nabhi . The regions occupied by the Kapha are the head (Shira) , cervical region (greeva) , the joints (parva), the stomach (Aamashaya) , the adipose tissue (Meda) ,the breasts (Vaksha ),the throat (Kantha) , the plasma ( Rasa ),nose ( Nasika...

                                    PITTA   Keep calm and balance your Doshas ,well Agni precisely, because post Vata , the Agni forms the basis of our lives. Ain't au courant with these terms,then check out my article on the ' Tridoshas ' as well as the Vata in order to get a better insight of the other renowned Dosha named ' Pitta '. Maybe this might strike a query whether Pitta is equivalent to Agni ? If not so,then why is the former mentioned that way and if it is,then why are they termed different? As propounded by Acharya Sushruta ,the qualities of Pitta possess fiery properties like burning and purification. Along with that,if the Pitta of an individual is aggravated,it is treated as aggravated Agni by providing coolants (Sheeta dravya) to counteract the former and feeble Pitta is cured by feeding calefactores (Ushna dravya ). The functions of Pitta are analogou...

VATA As previously mentioned Ayurveda is in vogue,wait a minute, didn't read before ? Then first check out my article on the ' Tridoshas ' in order to get a better understanding of the prominent Dosha named ' Vata '. So, without any further delay, presenting the chief dosha ,the Vata . Maybe I am so engrossed writing this,I could genuinely sense a crescendo of shrieks building up! Vata ,as the name suggests,is formulated from the wind as well as the sky element or the Vayu and Aakasha Mahabhuta . While traversing the Tridoshas , it is contemplated that Vata always supersedes the other two doshas . The reason being that Vata is responsible for mobility or Gati , whereas the other doshas are not capable of movement due to which the other doshas rely solely upon the Vata for locomotion. Secondly, Vata is fleet-footed because of which it is the root cause of precipitous and hazardous disorders,that being the case, Vata is the underlying fons et o...

TRIDOSHAS              Well,no debate, rather no justification required that Ayurveda is in vogue! Going herbal, connecting with mother Nature, healing the healthy way is the new fad! You might have even experienced instances wherein you'd be suggested Ayurvedic medicines, treatments or easy remedies or you would be trying Ayurvedic creams and lotions to nourish your delicate skin and must mention, the miraculous role played by Ayurveda during the Covid-19 pandemic through its elixir - equivalent decoctions or ' Kaadha ' as well as immunity boosting herbal medications,such as Giloy Ghanvati , AYUSH-64 and many more! Also,since Ayurveda deals with beneficial,non-beneficial life span aka Hitakara aayu and Ahitakar Aayu , happiness yielding life span and vice versa aka Sukh aayu and Dukh aayu , the span of life and ways to improve the same; here's a brief description of the pillars upon which the foundation of Ayurveda stands strong and stur...

            Angiogenesis   Dr. Rutuja D. The process of developing new blood vessels from pre-existing blood vessels is referred to as angiogenesis. Angiogenesis comprises migration, growth and differentiation of the endothelial cells, which lines the inner walls of the blood vessels. The process of angiogenesis is primarily governed by chemical signals ; precisely the 'Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)' which binds to the receptors present upon the surface of the endothelial cells, thereby triggering the growth of blood vessels. Tumor growth and metastasis depends upon angiogenesis, activated by chemical signals from tumor cells during significant cell proliferation. Vessels created by tumor cells are often permeable, permitting the cells to metastasize to other parts of the body and transitioning to malignant tumors and there's no denying the fact that the deadliest property of cancer is metastasis.  Angiogenesis is mediated ...
