Whenever the body falls ill, it cures itself by taking medicine without knowing the cause of the disease. The medicine provides relief for a short period of time and then after some time the disease again dominates the body. Ayurveda believes that for better health, it is necessary to eliminate not only the disease but also its root.

If the root cause of the disease is known, the disease goes away automatically. According to Ayurveda, the real root of disease lies within us. In Ayurveda, three main reasons have been given to know the root of the disease, through which one can get relief from diseases by identifying some habits and improving them.

bad lifestyle
The first root of the disease is Prajnaparadha i.e. knowingly doing such things which increase the chances of getting sick. This includes eating wrongly, eating even when not hungry, not taking rest even when tired, feeling angry and worried daily and not taking sleep seriously. All these reasons can make any healthy body sick and this is the first root of the disease.

destruction of fire
The digestive fire of the body is not only helpful in digesting food, but it is the energy source of the body. Things done in Prajnaparadha have a direct effect on the digestive fire and instead of being digested, the food starts rotting in the body. In such a situation, no matter how nutritious the food is, the body does not get adequate nutrition and gradually mango starts accumulating in the body.

disorder of defects
There are three doshas to keep our body balanced – Vata, Kapha and Pitta. If these are balanced then the body remains away from diseases, but due to destruction of Agni and accumulation of mango, these three doshas become unbalanced and the body becomes surrounded by diseases. Due to this, stomach, respiratory, and bone and muscle related diseases start troubling us and we consider them normal and get cured by taking medicines.
