The origin of Ayurveda date back to the Vedic age many thousands of years ago. It is one of the oldest forms of holistic medicine widely used even today. Combining and nurturing the mind, body and soul, Ayurveda bestows spiritual, physical, and mental health respectively. All you need to do is Balance Your “Self” With Ayurveda.
The core principle of Ayurveda is that the five basic elements or panchabhutas – aakasha or space, vayu or air, teja or fire, jala or water and prithvi or earth form the universe as well as the human body. A unique combination of these elements form the three doshas – vata, pitta and kapha which are responsible for a person’s physical, mental and emotional health. In other words, the three doshas form the blueprint for optimal health in every person.

Dosha, loosely translated means “that which can cause problems”. Each dosha, a combination of atleast two basic elements, fluctuate in the body according to the seasons, time of day, process of digestion among other factors and can thus determine changing conditions of growth, aging, health, and disease.
- Vata is a mix of vayu (air) and aakasha (space). The vata substances are responsible for movements in the body. An imbalance in vata may lead to conditions like asthma, flatulence, dryness of skin, rheumatic disorders and gout, weight loss, restlessness and dizziness.
