A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO AYURVEDAThe word Ayurveda is a combination of two Sanskrit words: So to know about life is Ayurveda. It is a complex system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. There are references to Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. It provides guidance in terms of food and lifestyle for getting and staying healthy. But Ayurveda is much more than just a medical system: it is a Science of Life. Human beings are all part and parcel of Nature. Animals and plants live in harmony with Nature and use its Laws to create health and balance within themselves. Ayurveda is a system that helps people to be healthy by using the inherent principles of Nature. These doctrines put people back into equilibrium with their true selves. In Ayurveda, Life is defined as the combination of mind, body, senses and the soul. The mind is our computer, the body is our physical manifestation, the senses (touch, sight, sound, taste and smell) are our information gatherers and our soul the more subtle form of our existence (our true self or essence). In Ayurveda, a person comprises five primary elements: ether (space), air, fire, water, and earth. These elements combine and create the various physiological functions within the body. For example, ether and air combine to form what is known in Ayurveda as the Vata dosha. Vata is about movement and is the force which directs movement within the body: for example, nerve impulses, circulation, respiration, and elimination. Fire and water are the elements that combine to form the Pitta dosha. The Pitta dosha is the process of transformation or metabolism. Finally, it is predominantly the water and earth elements which combine to form the Kapha dosha, which is responsible for growth and protection. All individuals are all made up of unique proportions of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These dosha combinations vary and account for the differences in physiology and health challenges amongst people. Ayurveda acts as a model for designing treatments that specifically address health problems.
