Often we see that people of the same family have different designs and their choices are also different. But everyone’s food is made together, yet the same food benefits someone and damages someone. Ever wondered why this happens.
It is said that every person is different in terms of physical structure, choice of food and nature. Such variations are often seen in different members of the same family. This happens due to their nature being different. Different branches of medical science emphasize that our diet should be according to the basic structure of the body. This thing logically makes clear that the Tridosha principle in Ayurveda. According to this basic philosophy of Ayurveda, Vata, Pitta, Kapha are Tridosha. According to the great Acharya Charaka, Sushruta etc. of Ayurveda, Tridosha is also a factor in the origin of human body.
