Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an alternative medicine system with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia.

Therapies include herbal medicines, special diets, meditation, yoga, massage, laxatives, enemas, and medical oils. Ayurvedic preparations are typically based on complex herbal compounds, minerals, and metal substances.

The term Ayurveda is composed of Ayus, “life” or “longevity”, and Veda, “knowledge”, translated as “knowledge of longevity” or “knowledge of life and longevity”.

Three Doshas

Ayurvedic methods of prevention and cure strive to bring our bio-physiology back to its primordial state because, according to Ayurveda, the imbalance of doshas results in disease.

Each individual has the characteristics of all 3 doshas, but in different proportions and it is these proportions that determine our physical and psychological traits. The basic doshas are

1.Vata | 2.Pitta | 3.Kapha

Vata (wind) operates communication and movement of the body – it deals with the nervous system; with joints – where the movement takes place; with the elimination of waste and so on. Its main seat is the colon.

Pitta (fire) relates to the metabolic processes in the body. Using the vocabulary of allopathic medicine, it is responsible for the endocrine system (hormones) and digestive system (enzymes). The main organs of pitta are the small intestine, liver and duodenum.

kapha (earth) is related to the structure of the body – 7 bodily tissues, bones and muscles.

Pulse diagnosis

Pulse diagnosis is the main procedure of Ayurvedic diagnostics and the base of therapy planning. Ayurveda detects the disease in its principal stage, which allows for prevention. The preventive value of pulse diagnosis is in eradicating minor imbalances and preventing them from turning into serious ones.

Panchakarma

Panchakarma or in Sanskrit ‘5 treatments’ is an elaborate method traditionally consisting of 5 different purification therapies. Its purpose is the elimination of toxins from the body and the restoration of bodily balance. Panchakarma influences not only our bodies but also our ability to think, our conscience and our emotions, every healthy person is advised to undergo the procedure 1-2 times a year, as a preventive measure.

Ayurvedic Healing/Treatments

Treatment in Ayurveda is a healing process that aims at getting rid of the disease, preventing its future occurrence and ensuring overall well-being.

The treatment attacks the root cause of the problem as its objective is not just to restore health but also to create balance in the body. It is achieved by balancing the doshas which in turn eliminates toxins and strengths the digestive system thereby opening up channels and rejuvenating the tissues.
