Sháríra Satram

यो न प्रविशत्यातुरस्यान्तरात्मानं न स रोगान् चिकित्सति ।  (च.वि.4/12)

Ayurveda the wisdom of life, enlightens life as wholesome existence in harmony with one self, with nature and with the Cosmos. 

An Ayurveda Vaidya identifies the disharmony and restores harmony in the Human being or Chikitsya purusha who has paanchabhoutika body,  dynamically vibrantly connected to the sensual, mental and spiritual realms of oneself and those of the Cosmos too.

Practice of Ayurveda to a Vaidya is a path of self realisation, sháríra jnana being the guiding light. Even in clinical practice proper adequate knowledge of sháríra is inevitable for precision in diagnosis and strategize proper treatment 

Thus Aacharya Sushruta's statement  

निर्दिष्टानि दशैतानि शारीराणि महर्षिणा | विज्ञानार्थं शरीरस्य भिषजां योगिनामपि || (सु.सू.3/17)
