Ayurvedic Healing : Ayurveda is a 4000 year old medical science from India which suggests holistic ways to lead a healthy life. It emphasizes on 3 pillars of health, viz.,

  • Ahaar or correct diet
  • Vihaar or correct lifestyle, which includes daily routine, exercise, yoga and meditation
  • Aushadhi or herbs to aid in healthy living which includes preventative medicine, herbs for beauty care, etc.

All recommendations are based on the constitution of a person which is described in terms of “doshas”. There are 3 types of doshas and the relative prominence of each of the 3 doshas in an individual determines their body constitution or type. The 3 doshas are – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The concept of doshas has been explained in the various posts under ‘Articles’.
