Body’s Equilibrium and the three subtle energies
In the human body every moment millions of cells and neurons vanish and millions of those are reborn. The human body and mind is constantly in a homeostatic dynamic equilibrium and this equilibrium is maintained by the Prana, Tejas, and Ojas.
Normally, various forms of diseases occur when the relative equilibriums between the Prana, Tejas, and Ojas are disturbed.
