Significance of Physiological processes
Physiological processes encompass a range of normal bodily functions critical to sustaining life and overall health. In Ayurveda, these processes are influenced by the balance of humors and the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Scientifically, they include biological functions impacted by antioxidant pigments, hormonal regulation, and essential mechanisms like metabolism and respiration. These processes can also change during various life stages and are affected by environmental factors, underlining their complexity and the need for balance for optimal health.
