The Charaka Samhita written by Acharya Charak is an Ayurvedic treatise written in Sanskrit. The Charaka Samhita is one of Ayurvedic fundamental texts. The text is a fascinating source of ancient medical practices.
According to Charaka, a body works because it has three doshas or principles: movement (Vata), transformation (Pitta), and lubrication and stability (Kapha). They are created when dhatus (blood, flesh, and marrow) interact with the food consumed.
