Deśa in Ayurveda refers to the region or environment in which a person lives (Bhumi Deśa) and the individual's bodily constitution (Deha Deśa). According to Dr. Varun Ram Raj, understanding Deśa is crucial before choosing any treatment in Ayurveda.
As per Charaka Samhita, Bhumi Deśa (geographical land) is classified into Jangala (dry), Anupa (marshy), and Sadharana(balanced) regions. Each type affects dosha balance differently and demands different therapeutic approaches. For example, dry regions increase Vata, while marshy regions aggravate Kapha.
Deha Deśa, or the body’s constitution, varies from person to person—some are strong (krura), some moderate (madhyama), and some delicate (mridu). This understanding helps in selecting the intensity and type of treatment.
Dr. Varun Ram Raj advises that both the physical and environmental terrain must be studied in detail before prescribing herbs or therapies. This ensures treatment is effective and safe.
Always consult a doctor before using any herbs or therapies.
Stay Healthy always!
