The Wonders of Ayurvedic Medicine at Home


As a scholar and holistic health therapist for over 20 Anios, I wonder more and more of the results of the Ayurveda and Traditional Medicine in India.

Ayurveda means Science of Life. It is one of the few ways Traditional Mind-Body Healing has been preserved intact over time. The magic of this is that combinations or ceremonies are very similar to those of people like China, Latin American Indians or Native Americans. It's as if the man had originally been one way to cure, accumulating thousands of years of trial and errror with the tools available in nature. The use of oils, smoke, snuff's plant, ginger, essential oils extracted from plants, bark, and flowers. Ayurvedic medicine places equal emphasis on body, mind and spirit, and strives to restore the natural harmony of the individual, a prerequisite for global health. Ayurvedic medicine is based on the concept of three humours or Dosha, three types and are known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The primary characteristic of Vata from the metabolic point of view is the variability. The unpredictability and variability in size, humor, and actions, is the "trademark" of vata. Vata tends to be slender with prominent features, joints, and veins, with cool, dry skin.

Changing, enthusiastic, imaginative, and impulsive. Vata types are fast, sleep erratically and are prone to anxiety, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, and constipation. Vata energy fluctuates in an irregular manner, with peaks and valleys. The Pitta person is in structure, strength, and resistance means, is well proportioned and easily maintains a stable weight. Pitta type frequently have red or blond hair, freckles, and a ruddy complexion. Have quick intelligence, pervasive, and can be critical or passionate with short, explosive moments of anger. 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 tend to perspire heavily with the heat and drink a lot. They suffer from acne, ulcers, hemorrhoids, and ailments of the stomach and duodenum's main characteristic is the relaxation Kapha type. The kapha type is solid, heavy, and strong. With a tendency to be fat, the type kapha has slow digestion and oily hair, and cool, moist, pale. A kapha type is slow to anger, slow to eat, slow to act. They sleep a lot and heavily.

Kapha types tend to let things go and be stubborn. The kapha type will be prone to high cholesterol, obesity and allergies, and problems at the dynamics of the frontal sinuses. Most of us present a constitution that will show two or three dosha (eg Vata- pitta-vata pitta u), but rare is to find an individual who has only one dosha. The Ayurveda uses a wonderful combination of herbs, massage oils and essential oils. The baths, enemas, cleansing of various kinds and so on. Meditation, mantras, yoga, breathing exercises. This seeks to harmonize the Dohse. Ayurvedic treatment techniques are:

Shodan (Cleaning and Detoxification)

Shaman (Mitigation)

Rasayana (Rejuvenation)

Satvajaya (Mental Hygiene and Spiritual Healing)

Some of these techniques use in the office or the patient's home for years with excellent results. The use of massage, oily usually spend some substance by the body increases the defenses, growth hormone, reduces stress, eliminates substances in the blood naturally relaxing that control cholesterol, high blood pressure and so on. And this without the movement of the hands is in a certain way, only maintained contact with all the hand skin of the body increases the level of substances that are our internal pharmacy, activates cellular memory to processes of healing and health vibrant. It is wonderful to receive a full course of Ayurveda in a specialist clinic. But as we find our source of abundance and we have the money to pay for it, we have our own in house Ayurvedic spa in a simple and economical. We have good quality Ayurvedic preparations with great results, especially one I'm using with amazing results, take 1 ounce three times a day, you can find information in my web pages.

Get a good quality oil in any health food store, cold pressed, can be of sesame oil, olive oil, or rice bran oil which is cheap and excellent for the skin. To him add a few drops of essential oils according to what you want to search, you can be a combination of a few drops of tea-tree and lavender. Take care that are pure, natural and complete. There are simple tests to check the quality of an essential oil (the price is one of them, and the amber bottle) you put in an amber glass bottle or in a small clay or ceramic vasijita and lids with foil greener or something similar. We apply the entire body with gentle friction, you can get on the internet a guide to self massage or asking someone to apply it, it may be something fabulous to share with the couple, seeking together a way of harmonizing body and mind. The atmosphere should be warm and the oil well. Put essential oils in a burner electric candle or air freshener. Put a soothing music. You can find music in accordance with each Dosha: Vatta, Pitta and Kappa. In terms of food according to Ayurveda, food must be in accordance with the individual constitution (prakryti).
