In Ayurveda, The Human body/Sharira is defined as “Sheeryate Tat Shariram” i.e. one which has a tendency to degenerate. Whereas, Deha is one which grows at a constant rate and in a progressive pattern. The Sharira is a mixture of Indriyas (senses), Satwa (Mind) and Atman (soul). A combination of all these constituents compose human life. A person having equilibrium between the three biological components (dosha), metabolic fire (agni), tissues (dhatu), waste-products (mala), the soul (atma), sensory organs (indriya) and the mind (mana) is known as healthy.

The Doshas — Ayurveda defines seven basic body constitutions dominated by the presence of Doshas: Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Vata Kaphaja, Pitta Kaphaja, Vata Pittaja and Tridoshaja Prakruti.These influence one’s wellbeing, psychological and physical constitution, disease development process, curability of disease and other factors like skin tone, complexion,hair texture,voice,intellect etc.

• Vata — The conceptual entity responsible for all kind of transportation, movements in our body and major to minor functionalities of our system.
• Pitta — The entity from our body responsible for all kinds of digestion and signal communication; from digestion of food to the interpretation of any signal received by our senses.
• Kapha — The entity that provides required unctuousness to our body tissues and system, keeping our joints lubricated for effective functionality, providing necessary moistness to skin and tissues for a healthier complexion.

The Dhatus — The seven Dhatus are the seven tissues of the body. They are plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone marrow/ nerve, and the reproductive tissue.

• Rasa (Plasma) — Produced during the process of digestion, rasa is the basic fluid flowing in our circulatory system that carries all the nutrients and other body Vitals.
• Rakta (Blood) — It is the most Vital of all seven dhatus and forms the central functional and transportation system of the body.
• Medas (Fat) — Comprises of the fatty and oily tissues providing all the additional unctuousness to the body. It covers the musculature architecture and provides protection.
• Asthi (Bones) — Bones form the basic skeletal architecture of the body and lends it an erect posture.
• Majja (Nervous system) — Includes the tissue residing within the long bones and is responsible for formation of blood Vitals and support functionalities ofcomplex systems.
• Shukra —The most complex and vital tissue of the body responsible for reproduction of all sorts, from cellular level to young form.
•  

The Malas — Mala represents the by-products resulting from the physiological and metabolic activities going inside the human body. Malas in Ayurveda, the waste products of the body, include urine, stool, and sweat. Effective elimination of malas is imperative for maintaining good health.

• Purisha - (Stool or human feces) — The solid waste produced in the body that is excreted as fecal matter.
• It eliminates the solid and heavy particulate matter from our system and undigested food residue as well.
• Mootra (Urine) — The liquid waste is maj orly expelled in the form of urine.
• Sweda (Sweat) — Sweda is the fluid that comes out of the skin pores and primarily consists ofwater as well as various dissolved solids.
• Mind — According to Ayurveda, nature consists of three primal qualities, which are the main powers of cosmic intelligence that determine our spiritual growth.
• Sattva — It is the quality ofintelligence, Virtue and goodness and creates harmony, balance and stability.
• Rajas — It is the quality of change, activity, and turbulence. It introduces a disequilibrium that upsets an existing balance.
• Tamas— It is the quality of dullness, darkness, and inactivity and is heavy, veiling or obstructing in its action. It functions as the force ofgravity that retards things.
• The three gunas are the most subtle qualities Ofnature that underlie matter, life and mind. They are the energies through which not only the surface mind, but our deeper consciousness functions.
• Soul — The Atman or soul is the eternal driving force that is the cause of life and death. The Atman is neither born nor does it die, so is said to be Anadi and Ananta i.e. eternal or nitya. Its presence is essential for life, for good health, for attaining knowledge, for birth and rebirth.
• Agni — Agni in Sanskrit means "fire", and according to Ayurveda Agni happens to be the entity that is responsible for all digestive and metabolic processes in the human beings. Agni is considered the force of intelligence within each cell, each tissue, and every system within the body.

Ayurveda identifies at least 40 distinct subtypes ongni in the body—each defined by its specific physiological function as well as its location in the body. When Agni is balanced, it tends to support strong immunity, and a long, healthy life. Balanced Agni adds a certain fragrance to life—a zest for living.
