The department deals with the subject ‘Kriya Sharir’ i.e. functioning of human body in its normal state. ‘Physiology’ is the basis of ‘Medicine’.

In this subject, students get introduced to very basic Ayurvedic concepts like Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Pachana, Prakruti, Atma, Mana etc.

If one understands these normal processes of body, it is easy to understand pathological changes in ayurvedic view. Kriya Sharir is also basis of Ayurvedic pharmacology and Ayurvedic medicine.
