ABSTRACT

The evolution is initiated in prakriti, which is balanced by sattva, rajas, and tamas. Panchamahabhutas are the final product of this cosmic evolution, which is one of the fundamental concepts in Ayurveda. Akash is the debut element, occurring first in panchamahabhut with shabda as its main guna and with the dominance of sattva guna in it. Akash can be assumed as present in organs such as the ear, fallopian tube, Eustachian tube, bronchioles, etc. Grossly, it can be said that where there is space, there is akash mahabhuta. Therefore, if a disorder occurs in these organs, it is said that there is a deformity in the akash mahabhuta and a disturbance in the level of sattva. Akash is called sattvabahulo, which means that to form a deformity, sattva should diminish or decrease. Therefore, to correct these issues, all efforts should be made to increase the level of sattva.
