AN AYURVEDIC REVIEW ON CONCEPT OF BALA

Abstract

According to Ayurveda, the Bala has a holistic perspective and cannot be classified as one particular entity. Bala is seen as a person's overall strength, both physically and mentally. It can be evaluated in both healthy and sick people. Bala is quite similar to immunity. In Ayurveda, bala is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment. Agni, Aahara, Dosha, Prakriti, Sarata, and other physiological traits must be in balance for it to function properly. The key factor in influencing the prognosis, progression, and decline of illnesses is immunity. Bala and immunity are therefore linked and complementary. Thus, the capacity to perform tasks requiring significant amounts of both physical and mental effort is known as bala, or strength. Here, an effort is made to shed light on the idea of bala, its types, significance, relationship with various bodily aspects, and their impact on it.
