Physiology in Ayurveda

The basic operating system for Ayurveda is a biological regulatory energy force, which is the catalyst for all bodily functions (air-oxygen-vata). The sustainability and surviving force for life comes from the air, food, and water. The result is homeostasis or a normal balance for human body. All of the cells in the body are constantly passing through a continual cycle of disintegration and rejuvenation. Oxygen from the air we breathe makes these biological mechanisms possible. The body cannot survive without these natural rejuvenating mechanisms.
