The concept of Tridosha is the fundamental principle of Ayurveda, on which the entire concept of health and diseases along with therapeutics is based. When they are deranged, it leads to many disorders and complications. Marmas are the vital anatomical sites in our body, when get injured leads to various kinds of pain or deformity or may result fatal. Tridoshas are the important entity present at the places of Marmasthana. Acharya Sushruta has located the presence of Trigunas, Mahagunas and Bhootatma in the Marmas, where Soma (Jala Tatva), Maruta (Vayu Tatva), Teja (Agni Tatva) representing Tridoshas. Any trauma to these Marmas is likely to provoke both the Sharirika (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) and Mansika (Satwa, Raja and Tama) Doshas which thereby affect the body and the Manas (Psychological temperament).
