Quoting Matthew Wood, page 121, "The six tissue states constitute a system for describing pathology"... by constitution "we are referring to the predisposing strengths and weaknesses of the entire organism." While I tend to approach "constitution" from an anatomical angle, I appreciated the nudge to also consider it from a pathological view as done with the Ayurvedic tridosha system. I'm appreciating the depth of the challenges to my existing assumptions presented in this book.
