Ayurvedic Medicine is based on observations of seers and rishis made thousands of years of ago, who studied the rhythms of the Universe and the intricate relationship of the flow of energy throughout the body and mind. They used meditation, experimentation and discussion to refine those findings.
According to Ayurvedic beliefs, every person is a distinctive amalgamation of physical, psychological and emotional characteristics, constituting of three elemental energy types called doshas.
Nearly 80 percent of the population of India use some form of Ayurvedic medicine for healing, with or without a combination of conventional medicine. In the United States, over 200,000 adults will use Ayurveda medicine in any given year. The underlying basis of Ayurveda medicine is that the foundation of health has to do with our connection to the universe, namely the body's constitution or prakriti and life forces or doshas.
The prakriti refers to a person's general health, the likelihood of them coming out of balance, and their ability to resist disease or recover from it. The prakriti is unique to each person, and describes the way their body functions to maintain health. Key elements are the way the body digests and disposes of waste. The prakriti generally stays the same over one's lifetime. The doshas are the three life forces or energies found in us all, with some combination of all three found in everyone. The likelihood of a person contracting a disease are based on the balance of the doshas as well as the state of the body, and mental and lifestyle factors.
According to Ayurvedic Medicine, every person has these three elemental energies or humors, but they differ because one dosha may be dominant in a person and another dosha could be weaker. The medicine hence caters to the particular constitution of the patient rather than the symptoms, as the goal is to achieve balance of the doshas according to the inborn state of the elemental energies. Going from here, many medicinal preparations and surgical procedures have been concocted to treat various illnesses.
Pitta - this dosha represents fire and water, and controls both the hormones and digestive system. Pitta can be upset by spicy or sour food, fatigue and too much time in the sun. Those with pitta as their main dosha are susceptible to hypertension, heart disease, and others.
Another simple but effective exercise is to pass the ball from your hands to hold it between your feet back and forth while lying on the ground on your back. Flex your ab muscles as you bring your arms and your feet upwards and breathe in as you lower your arms above your head back to the floor and you lower your feet at the same time.
