Health Advice and Information on Ayurvedic Treatment
Therapists who help heal and deal with problems using Ayurvedic System AYURVEDIC/ AYURVEDA SYSTEM The Ayurvedic System of Treatment and medicine Ayurvedic medicine is widely pracitised in India. The Ayurvedic System is an ancient Hindu system of healing based on both natural and homeopathic remedies. The Ayurvedic system uses mental techniques to actually alter bodily responses to diseases and their processes, 'mind over matter' if you like. This system also involves the concerntration on primordal sounds, such as mantras. The patient is encouraged to repeat the 'mantra' for long periods of time, thus focusing the mind with the result of the focus being taken away from the pain. It is often used in conjunction with transpersonal meditation for the improvement of wellbeing. As such it is a n Holistic approach taking into account all aspects of the patient, the physical, the mental and the spiritual health. These three aspects in this system are known as the physical, the subtle and the casual. The translation of the Sanskrit word Ayurvedic means 'daily living' 'knowledge', the knowledge of daily living. The Ayurvedic therapist will want to know as much as possible about their client, working life, personal life, medical history, eating habits, character etc, to be best placed and informed to advice on the neccessary treatment to prevent the onset of any illness. Ayurvedic diognosis uses the Triodosha theory. Ayurvedic law is that everyone and everything in the universe in comprised of three basic elements or 'DOSHAS' These three 'doshas' are 1) vata, 2) pitta and 3) kapha; and thse are said to control all mental and physical processes, each 'dosha' is also linked to either the wind, the sun or the moon. VATA; is linked to the wind and is the moving force behind the two other doshas, which are immobile without it. Vata is therefore considered the most influential of the three. It is thought to be responsible for all the body's actions and sensations, controlling the central nervous system, respiratory system and the circularatory systems. It regulates thought process, promoting mental balance and comprehension. PITTA; is compared to the sun and is thought to be a source of heat and energy. Pitta menaning 'that which digests things'. Thus this dosha gouverns the the digestive system, metabolism and the biochemical processes within the body. When linked to the mind it is said to be responsible for the digestion of ideas and perceptions, stimulating intelect, capacity for curiosity and enthusiasm. KAPHA; is so likened to the moon, and tidal influence. Kapha thus controls the balance of fluids within the body. It gouverns cell growth and structure. . Providing support and structure for the whole body, giving strength and stability, physically and mentally. It also stimulates the capacity for positive emotions such as love, peace, patience and courage. Every person has each of these three doshas, these three basic forces in varying degrees. This variation is thought to be determined at conception. Good health is achieved when the three doshas are working in harmony. Ayurveda is the oldest known form of healing, more ancinet than Chinese medicine, and far older than Western medicine. Ayurveda is not practiced today the way it was three thousand years ago, it has been adapted with the change in life circumstances and to fit in with the lives of those living in the West. Ayurveda is concerned with the whole of life, both pain and pleasure are imprtant aspects of this science. This means that, on the one hand, Ayurveda teaches us how to rid ourselves of pain and suffering, on the other hand it teaches us different ways of increasing our enjoyment of life. Dr Vinod Verma Adding years to life, adding life to years. Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing concerned with every aspect of human life, mind, body, behaviour and environment. The primary focus is to prevent illness in the first place, and then treating the illness when it does occur. It also seeks to improve our own spiritual, intellectual and physical ability to heal ourselves. Some Ayurvedic pracises are suitable for self help, others require extensive knowledge and understanding of the Ayurvedic concepts and require the supervision of a trained therapist. When following the Ayurvedic health guidelines and regularly perform the exercises and live according to its teachings, you will learn how to recognise and avoid many of the physical and emotional problems that occur in the course of our lives. As Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing the techniques are aimed at achieving physical, mental and spiritual harmony, since it is thought that many diseases originate in negative thinking |
