Ayurveda has Holistic concept of Health. Disease free status of the body does not mean health. Swastha (Health) means to be ‘established in the self’. The Ayurvedic view of healthy person is : Samadosha, samagnischa, Samadhatumalkriyah, Prasannatmendriyamanah, Swastha iti abhidhiyate. (Sushrut Samhita, Sutrasthan, Chapter 15, Shloka 10) “He whose doshas are in balance, appetite is good, all tissues of the body and all natural urges are functioning properly, and whose mind, body and spirit (self) are cheerful or full of bliss, he is a healthy person.
