The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words Ayush(life) and Veda(science or knowledge). Thus Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life. Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness, Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit and the environment.
Ayurveda not only treats a person's physical complaints, but it also changes life style prachces to help maintain or improve health.
According to Ayurveda , the five elements of nahuse(space,air,fire,water,earth) combine in the body as three components(dashes) known as vatta, pitta and kapha. These doshas relate closely to the basic elements of nature and to specific functions of the body. A balance of these doshas is thought to be required for optimal health.
1) Air and space represent vatta. Vatta controls muscle and joint movement, breathing, and heart beat.
also, vatta controls anxiety,fear,pain and other functions of the nervous system.
2) Fire and water represent Pitta, which is thought to control such bodily functions as digestion metabolism, intelligence and skin color.Pitta governs the emotions of jealousy.
3) Earth and water represent kapha .The physical structure of the body and the immune system are governed by Kapha.
Emotional responses thought to be controlled by kapha include calmness, forgiveness, love and greed.
Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourage the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, life style and the use of herbs.
Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance .Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy.
This constitution is determined at conception by a number of factors and remains the same throughout one’s life.Many factor’s both internal and external, act upon us to disturb this balance and are reflected as a change in one’s constitution from the balanced state.Balanced is the natural order,imbalance, is disorder.Health is order, disease is disorder.Within the body these is a constant interaction between order and disorder.When one understands the nature and structure of disorder one can re-establish order.
According to ayurvedic philosophy the entire cosmos is an interplay of the energies of the five great elements-space,air,fire,water and earth .Vatta.pitta and kapha are combinations and permutations of these five elements that manifest as pattern present in all creation. In the physical body, vata is the subtle energy of movement pitta the energy of digestion and metabolism,and kapha the energy that forms the body’s structure.
