Ayurvedic Medicine Facts

Fundamentals Of Ayurvedic Medicine

To understand Ayurvedic treatment, it is essential to have an idea of how the Ayurvedic system regards the human body. The basic life force in the body is prana, which is also found in the elements and is analogous to the Chinese notion of chi. As Swami Vishnudevananda, a yogi and expert, put it, "Prana is in the air, but is not the oxygen, nor any of its chemical constituents. It is in food, water, and in the sunlight, yet it is not vitamin, heat, or light-trays. Food, water, air, etc., are only the media through which the prana flows."

In Ayurveda, there are five basic elements that contain prana: earth, water, fire, air, and aether. These elements interact and are further organized in the human body as 3 primary categories or basic physiological principles in the body that govern all bodily process known as the doshas. The three doshas are vata, pitta, and kapha. Each individual has a unique blend of the three doshas, known as the person's prakriti, which is the reason why Ayurvedic treatment is always personalized. In Ayurveda, illness is regarded as a state of imbalance in one or more of a person's doshas, and an Ayurvedic physician works to adjust and balance them, via a variety of methods.

The vata dosha is associated with air and aether, and in the body, promotes movement agility. Vata people are typically thin and light physically, dry-skinned, very energetic and mentally restless. When vata is out of balance, there are often nervous problems, hyperactivity, sleeplessness, lower back pains, and headaches.

Pitta dosha is associated with fire and water. In the body, it is responsible for metabolic processes and digestion. Pitta characteristics are medium-built bodies, fair skin, strong digestion, and good mental concentration. Pitta imbalances show up as anger and aggression and stress-related conditions like gastritis, ulcers, liver problems, and hypertension.

The kapha dosha is associated with water and earth. People characterized as kapha are generally large or heavy with more oily complexions. They tend to be slow, calm, and peaceful. Kapha disorders manifest emotionally as greed and possessiveness, and physically as obesity, fatigue, bronchitis, and sinus problems.

Teacher's Note

Ayurveda is an old medicine system from India. It says our body has three doshas that control our health. Learning about these three types helps you understand your body better.

Exam Trick

Remember: Vata = air (thin), Pitta = fire (angry), Kapha = water (heavy). Think about these three words and you will remember all the doshas easily in your exam.

Points to Remember

Prana is the basic life force in the Ayurvedic system.
Five elements make prana: earth, water, fire, air, and aether.
Three doshas control our body: vata, pitta, and kapha.
Vata is thin and active, Pitta is medium and strong, Kapha is heavy and calm.
