The major focus of administering therapies for the cure of diseases as well as maintenance of health is to bring about the balance of ''dhatu'' which results into alleviation of diseases.

So the ultimate objective of Ayurveda is to establish the equilibrium of ''dhatu''. (Ca.Su.1/53). In healthy persons, although ''dhatus'' are in a state of equilibrium, ''rasayana'' and ''vajikarana'' therapies are given to maintain this state of equilibrium. Even the selection of dietary articles should be done with this objective in mind.
