Ayurvedic Medicine was practiced in India in the last five thousand years, this medicine (that means "science of life") include  system that combines natural therapies with a highly personalized approach to the treatment of disease. Ayurvedic medicine places equal emphasis on body, mind, and spirit, and strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual, "conditio sine qua non" for the global healing.

"Individual Constitution "(Prakryti) is the Ayurvedic medicine keystone, and once identified it's possible to know the personal sketch , the strength and the sensitively of a person to fall ill.

You too, You can know your  prakryti, for information only using the relative table

Ayurvedic medicine is founded on the concept of metabolic body types, or Dosha, the three metabolic body types are known as  Vata, Pittaand Kapha

The VATA type

The main character of Vata is changeability. Unpredictability and variability in size, shape, mood, and actions, it is the vata trademark. Vata is usually: slender with prominent features, joints, and veins, with cool, dry skin. Moody, enthusiastic, imaginative, and impulsive, vata is quick to grasp and sleep erratically and are prone to anxiety, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, and constipation. Vata energy fluctuates, with jagged peaks and valleys

The PITTA type

Pitta is relatively predictable.  Pitta is medium build, strength, and endurance. Pitta is well proportioned and easily maintains a stable weight. , freckles, and a ruddy complexion. Pitta type haves a quick, articulate, biting intelligence, and can be critical or passionate with short, explosive  fit of tempers. Efficient and moderate in daily habits, the pitta type eats and sleeps regularly, eating three meals a day and sleeping eight hours at night. Pitta types  are perspire heavily and are warm and often thirsty. They suffer from acne, ulcers, hemorrhoids, and stomach ailments

The KAPHA type

The main character of Kaphais relaxed. Kapha  is solid, heavy, and strong. With a tendency to be overweight, kapha has slow digestion and somewhat oily hair, and cool, damp, pale skin. Everything kapha is slow, slow to anger, slow to eat, slow to act. They sleep long and heavily. Kapha types are often procrastinate and  obstinate. A kapha body type will be prone to high cholesterol, obesity, allergies, and sinus problems

A lot of people have a constitution , where It's possible to find two or three  dosha (for example vata-pitta or pitta-vata), rarely there's only one  dosha.

When  dosha are in balance and in harmony with constitution, the result is a vibrant  health with  precious energy level. But when this  delicate balance is troubled, the body  become  sensitive to the external "stressors", as virus, bacteria, too much work , no correct alimentation. The imbalance  in  dosha is the first  sign that  spirit, mind and body are not in perfect coordination. A no correct  alimentation, will cause an agni alteration  (gastric fire ), so the no correct digestion of  food  with  formation of toxins (ama). Too much  ama cause the disease.

For  Ayurvedic Medicine , alimentation will has to be in harmony with the   individual constitution (Prakryti)

For a  vata  is beneficial a sweet, salt and sour food, for  pitta is right those sweet, bitter and  astringent, instead for  kapha metabolic type it would be better to choice a   pungent , bitter and astringent food.

The season  and the rhythm circadiano too (in 24 hours) are considered in  ayurveda, so  advices  dieticians are  often prescribed with this perspective clear  in mind.

THE ART OF  AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

Ayurvedic M.D.  put  special attention to the pulse, tongue, face, eyes, and nails. Ayurvedic M.D. describe three distinct types of pulses radial : vata, pitta e kapha, with six different pulsation  for arms, three deep and three superficial , where it's possible to perceive the strength ,the vitality and the normal  physiologic  tone of specific organs . Towards the observation of tongue surface and watching the different  discoloration and/or  print of particular  areas ,  ayurvedic M.D.  can have information about internal organs functional  status. Collecting urine at morning after  the first  urine jet  and  watching the colour, ayurvedic M.D. can help him self   dosha  imbalance diagnosis. A blackish-brown colour indicates a vata disorder  , dark yellow, an  imbalance pitta . If the urine is cloudy, there is a kapha  disorder  (interview  to   Enzo DI MAIO M.D. on "FOCUS" Italian Magazine n. 80 , June  1999, Mondadori).

DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN  AYURVEDIC MEDICINE

Ayurvedic medicine think that the most important thing is  to restore health, after having understand and correctly diagnose the disease or body imbalance. After diagnosis, there are four ways to  treat a pathology for Ayurvedic Medicine:

Shodan (Cleansing and Detoxifying)

Shaman (Palliation)

Rasayana (to become Younger )

Satvajaya  (Mental Hygiene and Spiritual Healing)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shodan ( Cleansing and Detoxifying)

Cleaning  in Ayurvedic medicine has to leave  toxins in the  stomach , in the nose , in the intestine , etc. The purifying technique are  to vomit , of  purgative,  giving blood e and nasal shower, called  pancha karma,  are often used by Ayurvedic  physicians to remove toxins (ama) from different areas of the body. In Ayurvedic medicine, toxins are considered the root of disease, and often the result of undigested, unabsorbed, and unassimilated food.

In preparation for cleaning, a Ayurvedic M.D. advices an herbal-oil massage performed. The oil is a liquid form  that is well absorbed through the skin. Once in the system, it can pick up various toxins such as pesticides, as well as viruses and bacteria. These toxins are eventually disposed of through normal channels of elimination, represented in the traditional Chinese medicine (interview to  Enzo DI MAIO M.D.  on the "Silhouette donna" Italian Magazine 8th year  n.11  November 2001, 3D Editorial and interview to  Enzo DI MAIO M.D.  on   "Grazia" Italian Magazine n. 14 10th   April 2001, Mondadori).

Ghee  (clarified butter) and yogurt buttermilk are used to re-establish intestinal flora, especially if it has been washed away during the cleansing process.

Shaman (Palliation)

The next step in Ayurvedic disease management is palliation, or shaman, used to balance and pacify the bodily dosha . Shaman focuses more on the spiritual dimension of healing, and uses a combination of herbs, fasting, chanting, yoga stretches, breathing exercise, meditation, and lying in the sun for a limited time. These techniques are useful for people with dysfunctional immune systems, or for those who are too ill or emotionally weak to undergo the more strenuous forms of physical cleansing noted in pancha karma. Because of its curative and preventative aspects, shaman  can also be utilized by the healthy person. Like all enlightened healing methods, Ayurveda emphasizes prevention above curing disease.

One method of shaman, called "joking with  fire", is absolutely necessary in kapha and vata disorders with patients who have low gastric fire (agni).. The patient consumes honey with certain herbs like pippili (long pepper), ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. (This should be done cautiously with pitta people, however).

Rasayana (to become Younger)

After the cleaning regime, an invigoration  program called rasayana begins. Invigoration means enhancing the body’s inherent ability to function, and rasayana is similar to a physiological tune up. It is used to restore virility and vitality to the reproductive system, countering sterility and infertility, bringing forth healthier progeny improving sexual performance. In addiction, it is said that rasayana extends longevity by slowing down the biological clock and retarding the aging process.

Ayurvedic medicine uses three subcategories of rasayana treatments to rejuvenate and restore the body’s tissues and organs: special herbs prepared as pills, powders, jellies, and tablets; mineral preparations specific to a person’s condition and dosha ; exercises, specifically, yoga positions, breathing exercises (pranayama).

Satvajaya (Mental Hygiene and Spiritual Healing)

Satvajaya , is a method of improving the mind to reach a higher level of spiritual/mental functioning, and is accomplished through the release of psychological "stress", emotional "distress", and unconscious negative beliefs.

The categories of satvajaya include mantra or sound therapy to change the vibratory patterns of the mind; yantra, or concentrating on geometric figures to take the mind out of ordinary modes of thinking; tantra  , to direct energies through the body; meditation, to alter states of consciousness; and gems, metals, and crystals.

"Satvajaya can decondition the mind so we can see things fresh, like with the eyes of a child. "satvajaya techniques rid us of negative emotions, thought patterns, and prejudices that may weight us down like undigested food."
