Ayurveda – The Way to Healthy Living
How can we uplift our Life by
Indian system of healing?
The Answer:
through Ayurveda
What is Ayurveda?
(or Real meaning and aim of Ayurveda)
The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words
ayus, meaning life or lifespan, and veda meaning
knowledge.
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, according to
Ayurvedic beliefs, each person has a distinct pattern of
energy - a specific combination of physical, mental,
and emotional characteristics
What is Ayurveda?
(or Real meaning and aim of Ayurveda)
AIM
The aim of this system is to prevent illness, heal
the sick and preserve life. This can be summed
up as follows:
• To protect health and prolong life ("Swasthyas swasthya rakshanam")
• To eliminate diseases and dysfunctions of the body
("Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha")
5 elements theory
(Body Constitution)
Ayurveda is based on the premise that the
universe is made up of five elements:
air,fire, water, earth and ether. These
elements are represented in humans by three
"doshas", or energies:
1.
2.
3.
Vata:- pertains to air and ether elements
Pitta :- pertains to fire elements
Kapha:- pertains to water and earth elements.
5 elements theory
(Body Constitution)
When any of the doshas accumulate in the body beyond the
desirable limit, the body loses its balance. Every individual have
unique body constitution (Vata Pita Kapha) and each person is
diagnosed as per his/her Body constitution
Definition of health
according to Ayurveda
A healthy person, as defined in Sushrut
Samhita, one of the primary works on Ayurveda,
is "he whose doshas are in balance, appetite is
good, all tissues of the body and all natural
urges are functioning properly, and whose
mind, body and spirit are cheerful..."
