Abstract

Ayurveda is a science that gives immense importance to homeostasis among Doshas, Dushyas, Agni and all other entities in body. Health is attained through this equilibrium and disease by its disruption. The Western counterpart of homeostasis is also comparable to that of Ayurveda. This article endeavors to identify the variables influencing homeostasis in Ayurveda and their role in health and disease, and also addresses the Ayurvedic methods to maintain this equilibrium.
