Sarir Kriya
"Sarir Kriya" in Ayurveda refers to the bodily functions and physiological processes. "Kriya" denotes an action or procedure, and "Sarir" denotes the body. Thus, Sarir Kriya includes all of the bodily processes and actions that are necessary to preserve equilibrium and health. As stated in Ayurvedic texts, this covers a variety of physiological functions, including respiration, digestion, metabolism, circulation, excretion, and respiration. Ayurvedic principles suggest that imbalances in these physiological processes are the root cause of many health conditions, so an understanding of Sarir Kriya is essential to Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment.
