Aahar: Aahar refers to diet or food intake. In Ayurveda, food is considered not only as sustenance but also as medicine. The emphasis is on consuming a balanced diet that suits one’s body type (dosha) and current state of health.

Vihar: Vihar encompasses lifestyle practices and activities. It includes everything from daily routines (dinacharya) to seasonal regimens (ritucharya). Vihar involves adopting habits that promote physical and mental well-being, such as regular exercise, adequate rest, stress management, and maintaining a harmonious daily routine.

Chikitsa: Chikitsa translates to treatment or therapy. In Ayurveda, treatment approaches aim to address the root cause of disease rather than just alleviating symptoms. Chikitsa encompasses a wide range of therapies, including herbal remedies, dietary modifications, lifestyle adjustments, detoxification procedures (Panchakarma), yoga, meditation, and therapeutic massages (Abhyanga).
