Dear Friends,
I’m on my tour to Bogota, Colombia , a Beautiful Latin American country for the 2nd time and enjoying spreading Ayurveda conducting Seminars with the students of California College of Ayurveda and consulting patients.
The weather of Bogota is uneven that’s creating lots of Psychological problems and I’m observing people needs to understand the concept of Ayurveda here.There Diet.Life style is different than other part of the world and due to weather condition they are having Vata dominant personality.there arelots of questions in their mind regarding Ayurveda,Food and Life style when they are coming for the consultation.
So I would like to clear the concept of people of Latin America regarding Ayurveda that shall make them easy to understand Ayurveda and for better implementation for healthy living.
Ayurveda is not only a medicinal science but a complete science of life, A Comprehensive System with equal emphasis on the body, mind and spirit
Strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual
It is not only about treating sickness – preventing disease and enhancing health, longevity, vitality and happiness.
Offers a proven guide for a life of happiness, vitality, love and purpose.
Human beings are not viewed as mere thinking physical machines, but
Rather as fields of intelligence in dynamic exchange with the energy and information of the environment
Ayurveda is based on 3 energies.
Their balanced state is health and imbalance disease.
VATA – the kinetic energy, movement, division, growth, etc.
PITTA – the thermal energy, heat generation, intellect, sight, etc.
KAPHA – the potential energy
Three Doshas (Tridoshas)
Tridoshas are Vata, Pitta & Kapha
Tridosha concept is applicable in living organisms
Tridoshas are biological entities responsible for structure, function and behaviour dimensions of all living organisms
Therefore human body mind constitution (Prakriti), diseases, Medicines and Food all has been categorized in Vata type, Pitta type and Kapha type.
But nothing is absolute pure; everything is permutation and combination of Tridoshas
Concept of Prakriti
(Body Mind Constitution and Temperament)
Concept of Prakriti (human constitution) is related to physiological attributes to health and disease.
Prakriti is determined by relative predominance of dosha in intra-uterine life of a fetus.
Prakriti is unchangeable throughout the life span, but
One can take remedial measures in diet and behavior suitable to his/her prakriti to maintain health and prevention of disease.
