Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes the concept of Gurvadi Guna (qualities) as fundamental attributes of substances and their interactions with the human physiology. These qualities, such as Guru (heavy), Laghu (light), Snigdha (unctuous), and Ruksha (dry), play a crucial role in maintaining health and causing disease by influencing the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). This article delves into the scientific understanding of Gurvadi Guna, their characteristics, and their impact on the Doshas, drawing upon classical Ayurvedic texts and contemporary research.
