Ayurveda has got its basic concept of Bala in relation to the health and disease condition. Since ancient time many Acharya put their opinion regarding Bala. It is important for protection and survival point of view. To protect our self from adverse condition Bala is required. Also for development of body there is need of the Bala (in the form of energy). The modern science also gives much more attention towards Bala (strength) in relation to health and disease conditions. Acharya Charaka divides Bala into three types; these are Sahaja Bala, Kalaja Bala, and Yuktikruta Bala. Sahaj Bala is the Bala of a person since birth. Kalaja Bala is the Bala of person due to the season and Yuktikruta Bala is the Bala that the person acquires in his life. The Dehabala is simply defined as the strength for doing any work or activity i.e. capacity of an individual to perform work or activity. Acharya Charaka explained in samhanan pariksha that one whose sharir samhanan as well as sharira mamsa are even as per the measurement is called to be person with susahant sharir. Such person has good strength.
