Kriya Sharir

INTRODUCTION

Kriya Sharir i.e. Ayurvedic Physiology studies human body functions using core Ayurvedic principles like Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala forming a foundation for Ayurvedic education and practice.

Kriya Sharir explains the functional aspects of the human body based on Ayurvedic principles and modern physiology. The department emphasizes concepts such as Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, and physiological processes governing health and disease. Through theoretical teaching and practical demonstrations, students gain a clear understanding of normal body functions, which forms the foundation for diagnosis, treatment, and preventive healthcare in Ayurveda.
