Herbs Directly Effect Bio-systems, Tissues and Channels
Ayurveda teaches that the
nervous system,(bio-system)
digestive system (bio-systemlymph system(bio-system)
uses the
nutrients to create the seven tissues through digestion.
Just for review, Ayurveda organizes its' science/physiology system into:
Five elements which are fire, water, ether, air and earth combine to make:
three bio-systems (doshas)
seven tissues (dhatu)
thirteen channels (srotas).
Below is a chart that is an example of what part of the plant is used to treat and nourish what tissue in the body.
The words you see with red arrow are Sanskrit words for the tissue. The red words are the english translation.
The food channels must be kept clean so that undigested food does not turn to toxemia and eventually pollute the blood.
The action of the herbs is on the bio-systems, tissues and channels.
Five Examples Of How The Herbs Work on Bio-systems, Tissues, and Channels
