AYURVEDA means ‘ the art of living wisely ‘. The word Ayurveda is composed of two Sanskrit words – ‘ AYU’ meaning Age or Life , ‘VEDA’ meaning Knowledge or science.It is explained as ‘Science of Age’ or ‘Science of Life’ or ‘Knowledge of Health’.
Ayurveda literature explains the purpose of ayurveda beautifully and effectively in a very simple phrase
‘स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्यरक्षणं अतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनाम्चा’
Which means – To protect the health of the healthy and alleviate disorders of diseased.
According to Ayurveda , Health is a perfect state of balance between the body’s three fundamental energies or Doshas ( VATA , PITTA , KAPHA ) and equal vital balance among body , mind and soul.
Ayurveda teaches that we have a constitution , our own mix of Doshas , which is our individual psychobiological makeup . Ayurveda called it ‘PRAKRUTI’ , a constant factor that does not change.
VATA – Represent momentum. It relates to the nervous system and controls breathing , blinking and circulation. Vata dominant people are energetic . They also have insufficient or moderate weight , dry skin and fine hair. VATA needs NOURISHMENT.
PITTA – is a bodily energy that reportedly comprises mostly fire and some water and links to immunity , metabolism and temperature. Pitta dominant generally have sensitive skin that is prone to acne , redness and tendency towards pigmentation. PITTA needs to be COOLED and BALANCED.
KAPHA – it provides stability to the body , moisturizes skin and enhances resistance to disease and promotes healing. Kapha dominant people have more strength and stamina , enjoy sound sleep and tend to be lazy. Kapha skin can be normal to oily and large pores and white heads. KAPHA needs STIMULATION.
