It has happened because modern man has divorced himself from the age-old ideas of oral health traditions enumerated in Ayurveda. Some verbal and textual resources exist to guide people on maintaining good health. It describes it under three cardinal headings: Vata, Pitta and Kapha that are the three Doshas of the body. Perfect harmony between these three Doshas leads to optimal health while an imbalance in Tridosha leads to diseases. This review describes various seasons (Ritu), proper food intake as well as regulated daily activities. There is a shift of understanding from good health to total wellness of the being from an appropriate method of consuming food to sexual wellness. It is a comprehensive construct of how Ayurveda helps in holistic coexistence with nature.
