The Secret of Staying Healthy Without Medicine While Allopathic medicine tends to focus on the management of disease, Ayurveda provides us with the knowledge of how to prevent disease and how to eliminate its root cause if it does occur. What is Ayurveda? "Ayu" means life and "Veda" means knowledge. This holistic science is the knowledge of complete balance of the Body, Mind and Spirit, including emotions and psychology, on all levels. The knowledge of Ayurveda was passed on orally through a lineage of sages in India until it was collated into text more than 5000 years ago. The oldest known texts on Ayurveda are the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and the Ashtanga Hrudaya. The main proponents of Ayurveda during ancient times were Sushruta, one the earliest surgeons, Charaka, a medical genius, and Vagbhata. Vagbhata, a disciple of Charaka, played a significant role by transforming the knowledge for the common man to understand. Both of his books were originally written in Sanskrit with 3000 sutra. According to Vagbhata, 85% of diseases can be cured without a doctor; only 15% of diseases require a doctor. Core Principles of Ayurveda According to Ayurveda, each person will be influenced by certain elements more than others. This is because of their prakriti, or natural constitution. Ayurveda categorizes the different constitutions into three different doshas: Vata dosha (domination of air and space elements) Pitta dosha, (domination of fire element) Kapha dosha (domination of earth and water elements) The dosha affects not just the shape of one's body but also bodily tendencies (like food preferences and digestion), and the temperament of one's mind and emotions. For example, the earth element in people with Kapha dosha is evident in their solid, sturdy body type, their tendency for slower digestion, their strong memory, and their emotional steadiness. Most people's prakriti is made up of a combination of two doshas. For example, people who are "Pitta Kapha" will have the tendencies of both Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha, with Pitta dominating. By understanding the qualities of our natural constitution we are better able to do what is needed to keep ourselves in balance. Ayurveda places great importance on one's lifestyle (eating habits and daily routine) & also provides guidance on how to adjust our lifestyle based on the change of seasons. ......................................................................................
