Ayurveda is the name for the special Indian approach to health that has been used traditionally for over 5,000 years. It originates from the Vedic culture of ancient India.
Ayurveda is based on the belief in 3 different “doshas”:
Vata, Pitta and Kapha
Doshas are 3 energies that must be in balance. The primary goal of all Ayurveda is to help people achieve balance in their lives.
The word Ayurveda can be translated in Sanskrit as “the science of life” and is used to this day all over the world by people who use it for a wide range of purposes.
Over the last century, Ayurveda has become increasingly popular outside of India and can today be found in health food stores all over the world.
How do I achieve balance between the doshas?
The overarching goal of Ayurveda is to achieve equilibrium between the 3 doshas so that none of the 3 either dominates over the others or is deficient.
Achieving balance requires adjustments to your lifestyle so that your body comes into perfect balance with its natural rhythms. This, according to Ayurveda, must be achieved by means of a combination of a special diet.
