Ayurveda Medicine means "the science of life"
and teaches us about living, on all levels, in harmony with the environment
and the universe around us. It encompassed the oldest form of herbal
medicine known dating back to the ancient Vedic culture of India whose
people originally spoke the Sanskrit language. Ayurveda recommends a well
balanced lifestyle as the way to maintain health based on three fundamental
constitutions or body types. Ayurveda is all inclusive in that it
encompasses not only yoga, meditation, and food guidelines (nutrition), but
surgery and astrology among other areas. As far as we know, it is the
original holistic medicine dating back 8,000-10,000 years. The three
doshas or constitutions called vata, pitta, and kapha are
associated with the three fundamental principles of life-air, fire, and
water. All three doshas are necessary for life to exist. The goal of
the healing art of Ayurveda is to balance the three doshas to bring
the body, mind, and spirit into harmony with nature.
