Ayurveda
Ayurveda means the Knowldge of life (Ayur=Life, Veda=Knowledge), is a medical science developed in India thousands of years ago. Legend says that ayurveda has been passed on to humans by the God. Today Ayurveda has developed and evolved from ancient Vedic literature by sages which lays out instructions to maintain health and in fighting illness through therapies, massages, herbal medicines, diet control and exercise.
Clarity on the three doshas is required to understand Ayurveda ie the concept of Vata-Pitta-Kapha. Inside the body, there are three doshas which govern the phyico-chemical and physiological activities. These three doshas are
- Vata (from ether and air),
- Pitta (from fire and an aspect of water), and
- Kapha (from water and earth).
An individuals constitution in ayurveda theory remains constant through his life. A balance among the tridosha is necessary for health which in turn regulates the metabolism, anabolism and catabolism of our body and thereby its wellbeing. Ayurveda teaches, preaches, trains and treats.
