The Malas


Malas  are the various waste products of the  dhatus  produced during the normal metabolical process. The three primary malas being  Purisa (faeces),  Mutra (urine) and  Sweda  (sweat).  Ayurveda clearly states that only a balanced condition of doshas,  dhatus and  malas  is  arogya (good health or disease free condition) and their imbalance is the cause of ill health or disease.

Purisa is the waste left back after nutrients of digested food have been absorbed in the small intestine. While water and salt absorbed in the large intestine, the residue now converted into solid faeces, leaves the body. The consistency of the faeces depending both on gastrointestinal mobility and nature of diet.
