Shareera kriya deals with the physiological study of the human body. Ayurveda explains a variety of parameters to assess the normal functioning of the human body. Dosha-Dhatu-Mala Siddhanta forms the cornerstone of Kriyasareera. Our bodies are made up of tridosas that is vata-pitta-kapha which chronologically keep moving along with the span of day, night, age in varying degrees maintaining the normal homeostasis of the body. Dhatus form the main structural elements of our human body. Mala of the body, in general, summarises all the byproducts of metabolism in our body.
Kriyasareera is a fundamental subject in Ayurveda which deals with the detailed study of the human body and its functioning in relation to physiological norms. One gets to study the normal physiology of the body along with its variations.
Core concepts of Ayurveda like panchamahabhuta siddhanta, guna siddhanta, prakriti, agni, koshta etc are also elaborately dealt with. Our bodies are nothing but an amalagamation of the five elements according to Indian philosophy. Each and every individual possess a unique prakriti which is innate to their nature. In accordance to it people show an array of reactions to the environment and are prone to a variety of illnesses. Comprehension of the prakrithi leads to a better understanding of the vikrithi in the body. Through mastery of kriya shareera a holistic fundamental framework for proper understanding of Ayurveda is established.
