The Role of Dosha in Rachna Sharir and Kriya Sharir: An Ayurvedic Perspective

Author: Dr. Rohit Mishra

Abstract: Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—are fundamental to the understanding of Rachna Sharir (Anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (Physiology) in Ayurveda. This paper delves into the influence of Doshas on both anatomical structures and physiological functions. Rachna Sharir is explored through the lens of Dosha predominance in various tissues and organs, while Kriya Sharir examines the regulatory role of Doshas in bodily functions such as digestion, metabolism, and neural activities. The interaction between Doshas and other physiological principles, including Agni (digestive fire) and Srotas (channels), is analyzed to provide a comprehensive view of Ayurvedic physiology. The paper also discusses the clinical implications of Dosha imbalances and their correction through diet, lifestyle, and herbal treatments.
