What is health?

Balancing the body Doshas Agni Dhatus (tissues) and Malakriya (encoction) or when all these are in balanced state then a person is called healthy.

There is a strong connection between a human body & Universe i.e the component of internal environment is same as external.  This Universe is made of Pancha maha bhutas (5 elements) Our body is also made of Panchamahabhootas

A person dies considered healthy when this internal & external environment are in coordination or equilibrium.

When there is Asanyata (inequilibrium) there will be sickness and disease. So this condition of equilibrium is capacity of an individual to adjust himself according to his environment.
