The neurologist Dr.Wiebers in his book “Theory of reality” coined the terms ‘C’ unit is the unit of consciousness in human body and ‘C’ field is the cosmic consciousness. The C unit is always connected with C field to carry out certain functions. The person is a unit of cosmos. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda] narrates Human beings are a microcosm of the planet and exhibit holographic phenomenon. The Self conscious i.e. ‘C’ unit is a unitary part of ‘C’ field (consciousness) in the cosmos. This C unit is controlling and regulating intellect, that controls mind; and this mind controls sense organs which lead the body as the horses lead a chariot. The interaction C field with C unit for fetching positive energy from cosmos is utmost important. Empowerment of the self conscious for communication with intellect in brain and mind seated at the heart is important mechanism for mental health in holistic view. Therefore promotion of positive mental health shall be focused with a holistic view of all these factors thinking beyond reductionist’s approaches of neurotransmitter, endocrinal and genetic biological theories. Hologram for mental health, the constituents of Human being that make the Humans real “Humans” are considered vital for complete health.

That the purusha is a microcosm, made up of the same dhatus that constitute the universe: the panchamahabhuta and consciousness (atman, or the Self, within the purusha, and Brahman, or the superconsciousness, within the universe) is central to Vedic philosophy in general and Ayurveda in particular. Bodily components – doshas, dhatus, and mala – are also made up of mahabhutas, and so are ahara (food), and aushadha (medicine). A disequilibrium between the environment and the person could therefore vitiate the constitution of the person, the food he eats, and the efficacy of the medication he takes, making him physically or mentally diseased. A society made up of diseased individuals would only make the environment more diseased. Thus, Ayurveda is not just about the health of an individual, but also the health of the planet.

===== ''Panchabhautika chikitsa'' =====

The specific actions and effects of mahabhuta in development of various body constituents, organs, systems are described in previous chapter ( sharira sthana chapter 4/12). The knowledge of similarity between man and universe can be applied for diagnosis of ailments and their treatments. The panchabhautika chikitsa system focuses on this principle. E.g. if certain body constituents originated from prithvi mahabhuta ( viz. bones) are disordered, then it can be treated with parthiva medicines available in the external world ( viz. shells, minerals).
