Charaka, a classical Ayurvedic writer, defines disease and health thus, 'A disharmony among the constituents which support the body is known as disease; their harmony is called health, the state of normality. A sense of well-being is characteristic of the absence of disease, for disease is always associated with discomfort'.

How you walk, talk, look and think all reveal something about your constitution. Ayurveda uses the language of everyday experience so that understanding the little quirks, aches, pains and odd sensations can guide one in the direction of balance.
