The amount of water in the body is always maintained in a normal range in order to carry out normal body functions. The water lost from the body through sweat, urine, feces etc. is replaced by drinking adequate quantity of water. Also, presence of minerals like Sodium, Potassium etc. help to maintain normal water balance. Dehydration occurs when the amount of fluid lost from the body is greater than that enters the body. It is more common in small children as their body water reserve will be lesser and so they will be more prone to dehydration. Ayurveda explains the condition of dehydration as Trishna.
