AYURVEDA, derived from Sanskrit (Ayur: life, Veda: science), means knowledge of life. It’s a worldwide popular and natural system of medicine with origins in India going as far back as 3,000 years!
Three Doshas
The essence of Ayurveda Parramatta revolves around the balance of three primary functional energies, or doshas, present in our body and mind – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Each dosha, with its unique blend of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics, controls various bodily functions.
- Vata, symbolising air and space, controls movement.
- Pitta, a representation of fire and water, manages digestion and metabolism.
- Kapha, an amalgamation of water and earth, ensures structure and lubrication.
According to Ayurveda, maintaining harmony amongst these doshas is vital for good health, with imbalances potentially leading to disease. Ayurvedic treatment strives to restore this balance, employing lifestyle interventions, natural therapies, and bespoke remedies.
Understand Your Dosha Type
Understanding your dosha type is possible through self-assessment. For instance, if you are typically thin, dry, and restless, you could identify with Vata; medium-built, warm, and intense individuals align with Pitta; while those who are heavy, slow, and stable resonate with Kapha. Recognising your dosha type empowers you to make targeted lifestyle and dietary changes, enhancing your overall health and well-being.
Take Help Of Professional Ayurvedic Practitioners
While we can get a rough idea of our doshas with self-assessment, we may not know which treatment is the best for us or which lifestyle modification can help us the most, nor do we have the best resources at hand if we know what we need.
