Ayurveda, the science of life aims at keeping both individual and the society, healthy and happy by preservation and promotion of physical and mental health. It also deals with the diet, daily routine (Dinacharya), and seasonal regimens (Ritucharya) that are beneficial for health. Inspite of curing diseases from the root, it deals with prevention too. Unlike other sciences, ayurveda aims at eliminating the diseases from its source rather than curing the symptoms alone.
Basic Principles of Ayurveda
While Ayurvedic principles can be used to explain the complexity of not only health, but also the world around us, there are several simple basics that form the building blocks for everything else:
- Ayurveda’s fundamental approach to well-being is that one must reach their unique state of balance in their whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
- Panchamahabhuta and Tridosha concept: As per Ayurveda, theuniverse, including human beings, are composed of five basic elements (or Panchamahabhutas): space, air, fire, water and earth.These five elements in turn combine with each other to give rise to three bio-physical forces (or Doshas) within the human body- Vata(air and space),Pitta(fire and water) and Kapha(water and earth). Together they are known as Tridosha and govern all the biological, physiological and psychological functions of the mind and body, both, physical and emotional, as well as effecting how an individual interacts with everything around them.
- Prakruthi concept :According to Ayurveda, each person will be influenced by certain elements more than others. This is because of their prakruti, or natural constitution. Ayurveda suggests specific lifestyle and nutritional guidelines to help individuals reduce the excess dosha.
