“Hitahitam sukham dukhamayustasya hitahitam
                         Manamch tach yatroktamayurveda sa uchyte” (Sutra 1 verse 41)

The ancient text (Veda) where different types ofAyu(age/life) is described, the good or bad food for that Ayu is explained and how that Ayu can be healthy and long is called Ayurved.

In simple words, Ayurveda informs us about the Ayu or life and how to keep it healthy.

It is a traditional system of medicine and one of the oldest surviving comprehensive herbal medicine systems on the planet. Understanding and following Ayurveda can help anyone achieve balanced health.

The five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Space/Ether, Air) are condensed into three primal metabolic forces in the human body known as doshas. This term in layman’s language is translated as ‘fault’ so they represent a way that a particular type of energy tends to go out of balance. The doshas are:

Vata (air + space): It maintains the movement in the body. It is dry, cold, light and irregular, and predominates in the large intestine.

Pitta (fire + water): It maintains body heat and metabolism including digestive enzymes, bile and digestive secretions. It is wet/oily, hot and intense, and predominates in the small intestine.

Kapha (water + earth): It maintains lubrication, structure and solidity in the body. It is wet/oily, cold, heavy, slow and stable, and predominates in the thorax.

Prakriti: The constitution, defined by the person’s primary dosha.

Vikruti: The imbalance of doshas at a given time in a person’s body.

Ayurveda works on the body’s constitution with an objective to get back to balance with the use of food, herbs and nutrients. At a given time you might be following dietary recommendations, lifestyle practices, taking supplements or herbal preparations to address a specific current issue of imbalance or Vikruti.
