When we think of good health, we often think of the absence of a disease, illness, condition, or diagnosis. But is this a complete state of health? One of the great contributors to Āyurveda and also considered to be the father of surgery, Suśruta defined a complete state of health via this śloka (verse): Samadoṣahaḥ samāgniśca samadhātumalakriyaḥ | Prasannātmendriyamanāḥ svastha ityabhidhīyate || Su. Sū. 15/41
