Ayurveda is an ancient science which has been built by the observation of nature and surroundings. Our body is formed by a combination of nature’s constituents. Safest health can be obtained from Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is a guiding light for healthy lifestyle. It treats the root cause and not the symptom alone. This science proposes three pillars of the human body, i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. Doshas are energetic principles that exhibit imbalance in the body.
Ayurveda is a comprehensive life philosophy and a holistic form of medicine, which helps us to enjoy a healthy and satisfying life with more life energy. Ayurveda works using the ancient system of balance, based on the knowledge that every being is made up of the 5 base elements: EARTH, FIRE, WATER, AIR and SPACE. If we are living balanced lives, these 5 elements must be in harmony, and Ayurveda brings all these into equilibrium to enable us to live a healthy life inside and out, physically and emotionally.
Vatha, Pitha and Kapha are together called the three humours or thridosha. Trihumoral theory is the core of Ayurveda. In the living, there are only three fundamental mechanisms happening at all times. One mechanism, known as catabolism, breaks down the food or tissue to provide energy. The other mechanism, called anabolism, utilizes this energy to facilitate growth and repair. The third mechanism is an entity which strives to maintain a balance between these two.
In Ayurveda all catabolic factors are represented by a conceptual humour called Pitha, which is predominantly fire existent. Another humour called Kapha, which is a combination of earth and water existents, represents anabolism. The third humour, called Vatha, is the balancing entity in the body; Vatha is a blend of air and space existents. It is in control of Pitha and Kapha and prevents them from going rogue. Vatha may be compared to the neuro-hormonal mechanism of the body. Each of these humours is assigned a set of qualities.
Ayurveda is the science of life and art of healthy living and longevity. It restores and preserves health of the whole body and mind. Ayurveda has effective treatment for chronic conditions such as paralysis, depression, Alzheimer’s, attention deficit disorders, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Although it is over 6,000 years old, the humans who lived in that time faced similar challenges that we do today: what to eat, how to adapt to changing environments and circumstances, and how to cope with the many stresses of life. Developed over time and finally systematized into a unified body of knowledge, first taught in oral form, then eventually written down about 2,500 years ago, it is a vast amount of information about the promotion of well-being together with warnings about lifestyle habits that can destroy our vitality and happiness.
Since that time, many Ayurvedic texts and commentaries have been written throughout Asia and the Indian subcontinent, the most famous being the Charak Samhita and the Ashtanga Hridaya. Within these texts is information on every stage and facet of life: embryological and pre-natal information, the health concerns of children, men, women and elders, and a wide array of therapies that include dietary advice, exercise, hygiene, supplementation, massage, hydrotherapy, surgery and how to work with the mind and emotions.
