Ayurveda



Ayurveda (pronounced eye-yur-VAY-dah) is an Indian traditional system of medicine. It's based on the ancient Indian mythological books and vast number of medical literature mostly narrated by ancient doctors like Charaka, Susritha, Vagbhata. Some of these techniques are followed successfully nowadays.

Principles
Ayurveda is mainly classified with the hypothesis of 3 humors.
 * /Vata/
 * /Pitta/
 * /Kapha/

These are recognized as being fundamental of health and disease and are seen in the processes of growth, maintenance, and decay. Equilibrium of these 3 humors is called health and disturbances in equilibrium known as disease.Their actions are named anabolism, metabolism, and catabolism in the western sciences. Life, light, and love exemplify all these energies and are found in our environments at every moment on every level.

These energies combine in limitless ways to create the unique qualities of each individual. When you become aware of these qualities within yourself, you take the first steps toward creating a healthy life. Ayurveda assists you in identifying these energies in your body and shows you how to more fully experience their gifts and to gain freedom from their limitations. By working with the body's unique nature, you are able to create true health.

In the Ayurvedic approach to life and health, we recognize how these energies are at work at each moment in our bodies and minds. When we recognize this, we can begin to create balance for ourselves by countering the destructive forces with positive actions.

Mechanism of action
With Ayurveda, we acknowledge that beneficial daily habits are different for each person, because each person is a unique combination of these three energies. Everybody has all three energies- though people experience each of them to a greater or lesser degree. Ayurveda can be a mirror that reflects our true nature and maps out the path for a return to the lives of vitality that we are meant to have.
