Mala
Introduction
:
They are the unwanted products created during
the digestion of ingested food.
They are
also called dhatu, as they keep a balance in body component for certain period
of time and then expelled out.
Mala are
three in number naming, purisha, mutra and sweda.
Purisha :
It is a solid waste material i.e. feces. It
excretes out unwanted part of food, thereby reducing toxins ingested or created
during digestion. Mutra
It is liquid
waste. It function as kledvahan. Lets know first what the kled is. Unwanted
material in the liquid form with few
toxic elements created during digestion of food and water too
Mutra does
excretion of kled thereby preveting body elements from retaining unnecessary
fluids.
Sweda
It is sweat.
Giving a normal texture and retaining appropriate moisture to skin and hair is
the action of it. It protects hair. Also, as we know it helps maintain normal
body temperature.
Practical
approach :
Ayurveda has
given extreme importance to normal process of excreting the mala as these are
the only pathways to throw the toxins and undesirable particles out of the
body, failure to do so creating number of abnormal conditions enough to make
one sick. Excretion of mala purifies body.
Abnormal
food and lifestyle habits affect the process of purification of body.
