Kriya Sharir (Physiology)

This department focuses on the study of normal human physiology from both classical Ayurvedic and modern scientific perspectives, supplemented with ample practical training. Students gain a thorough understanding of the functional aspects of the human body and how they are interpreted across different medical systems.

At the heart of Ayurvedic physiology lies the Dosha-Dhatu-Mala Siddhanta, a foundational theory that offers a comprehensive and holistic view of bodily functions. According to this concept, the body's health and balance are maintained through the dynamic interplay of doshas (functional energies), dhatus (tissues), and malas (waste products). This framework explains how the body digests and metabolizes food into subtle forms of matter and energy, thereby creating and sustaining a harmonious internal environment essential for life.

The department not only imparts theoretical knowledge but also emphasizes clinical relevance, helping students connect physiological principles with diagnostic and therapeutic practices in Ayurveda. This integrated approach prepares students for a deeper understanding of both wellness and disease from a holistic viewpoint.
