1. Dosha - Dhatu - Mala Vijnana [knowledge of Tridosha] is the foundation of the whole Ayurveda. Its embryological, anatomical, physiological, pathological & therapeutical conceptions rest upon this foundation.
2. The tridosha Theory is very wide in its application. It is applicable to every living entity from microbes to men. The Ayurvedic sholars have applied it to elephants, horses, cows, plants. In other words, this theory has been applied to & it explains every aspect of the phenomenon of life.
3. Tridoshas are present in every cell as well as moving through every channel of the body. Thereby they perform bodily & mental functions of every individual. Thus this theory explains an indissoluble connection between the Doshas & the mental functions as well.
4. To achieve this end, the Doshas act through several specialized apparatuses, which are more & more integrate anatomically, when we come up the ladder of life.
5. The functions of these Doshas in health & disease reveal themselves in an admirable way, when they are collected from extant Ayurvedic literature & classified in terms of modern science.
6. When such collection is made, we find that at least 141 normal functions &832 abnormal symptoms of Vayu can be attributed to the Vayu acting through the Nervous system [Vata sansthana - Vayu Apparatus]
7. All the physiological aspects of the human body can be divided under these 4 sections-
