Basic Concept of Ayurveda

A Physician of knowledge needs to enter the inner body of the patient with the lamp of knowledge and understanding to treat diseases properly. Correct diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

The diagnosis process in Ayurveda is based on the definition of the inborn constitutional health state of a patient – Prakriti. The biomedical validity of constitutional assessment followed in Ayurveda has received confirmation from genomic studies. Health is an individual, relative state, and constitution – Prakriti- may explain why peculiar diseases occur to one patient and not to another one. The determination of – Prakriti – which is assessed by considering psycho-physical attitudes and socio-cultural circumstances – allows physicians, how the individual can achieve good health. The patient needs to follow the Physician’s Personal guidelines in order to achieve and maintain his ideal healthy state. Jeeva Ayurveda has a detailed online and offline consultation.

According to Ayurveda, all matter in this Universe is made up of five eternal substances in various proportions known as Panchamahabhoothas – earth, air, fire, water, and space. It further explains humans are the micro version of the Universe. These five elements are combined with the soul to create a living being. All the five elements exist in all things including our bodies and have specific qualities. These occur as Thridoshas – Vatha, Pitha, and Kapha – in humans. Ayurveda speaks on balancing the body, mind, and soul for a healthy life through balancing these three doshas.

As three doshas are the essential components of our body, three qualities – Satva, Rajas, and Tamas – are the essential components of our mind. Individuals will have a mixed amount of these qualities, but the one predominant will determine the person’s quality. Also, there are seven Dhathus or tissues to support the body. These are the structures that make up the body. They are Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Medha, Asthi, Majjaand Sukra. While Ayurveda recognizes these Dhatus as the structural basis of the living body, it recognizes the three biological systems –Vatha, Pitha, and Kapha. If these three function well, it results in good nourishment and well-being; if there is malfunctioning, it will result in Dhatuvaishamya– elemental imbalance – resulting in various types of diseases. In short, an imbalance in doshas causes an imbalance in dhathus.

Every individual has a combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics known as the constitution which is determined by analyzing a number of internal and external factors like one’s choice of food, preferred weather, changes in emotions, work and family relationships, etc. Imbalance in one’s original constitution is the state of illness or disorder. Ayurveda is all about restoring the original constitution by regaining the balance through herbal medicines, dietary and physical therapies as well as spiritual and psychological healing. Selecting and practicing the diet and lifestyle suitable to each individual’s constitution will strengthen the body, mind, and consciousness.
