7 The entire Universe (both animate and inanimate) is made up of Pancha mahabhutas/5 elements.

8 Space: Vibrations of all vital systems together Air: Breath / Prana Fire: Acids and Enzymes in the body Water: Fluid in the body Earth: Physical Body

9 The PANCHA MAHA BHUTHA Concept The FIVE ELEMENTS Concept Different combinations and permutations of five elements = difference of form and qualities in them. (a) Dosha (the disease causing factors) (b) Dhatus (bodily tissues) (c) Malas (the waste products)

10 CONCEPTION, NATURE & FUNCTION OF DOSHAS Space (Akash) Air (Vayu) Fire (Tejas) Water (Jala) Water (Jala) Earth (Prithvi) Vata Pitta Kapha Rajasic Sattvic Tamasic energy of Movement energy of Metabolism energy of Structure

11 Body develops according to the food intake: So take daily food after knowing the properties of it Food is the keeper of the 5 elements Transformation of food gives the body - LIFE We are what we eat!

12 DIGESTION Good food = good health Good digestion = good health Each mind/body type digests differently. Agni : Digestive Power Malas : Waste Products Ama : Toxic by-products Ojas : Energy/Vitality/Vigor

13 Residue of partly digested food/ undigested food Fourth dosha: Vata, Pitta, Kapha & AMA Events and factors leading to AGNI not functioning properly: weakness of digestive system AMA: beginning of disease for ALL diseases

14 External toxins Internal Toxins

15 Not Digestion But FERMENTATION First DHATU (RASA) not formed properly This state of RASA is called AMA Obstructs channels

16 Having large evening meals Leftover food from the fridge Processed and refrigerated food Processed and refined food Canned food/high heated/microwaved food Poor food combinations

17 Blocks physical channels: intestines, lymphatic system, arteries and veins Blocks non-physical channels: Nadis through which energy flows Ama Toxins assimilate wherever the body is week (depends on the VIKRUTI) It weakens the immune system, which in turn can attach body s own cells Becomes SAMA (SA+AMA) MOST DISEASES are AMA-Caused or AMA- Related

Saliva, produced by the salivary glands, blends with the carbohydrates in the food in the mouth and initiates carbohydrate metabolism, which consequently eases digestion Black pepper :- Black pepper also stimulates bile secretion without increasing the volume of cholesterol and bile acid Long Pepper:- Long pepper prevents erosion of the gastric membrane by stimulating mucin secretion and reducing shedding of the cells present on the stomach lining.
