Introduction into Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an Indian science and healing method that is over 5000 years old dealing with the harmony of body, mind and soul.

Ayuh means life, Veda means science. The knowledge of Ayurveda is used to maintain and promote health and a long life of high quality. Ayurveda distinguishes between 3 types of constitution (Dosha), which result from the combination of the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, wind, ether).Vata, Pitta, Kapha.

Vata originates from the elements ether and wind, thus this type represents lightness, flexibility, dryness and cold. Vata people are usually very slim, very mobile, have dry skin and hair, are creative and tend to be restless, and shiver easily. To balance them, they need a lot of warmth, regular meals, and connection with the earth. It is good to give yourself a self-massage with warm oil 3 times a week. Vata controls the breath, the heart, all movements in the body and of the body.

Pitta is formed from the elements fire and water, and represents heat and dryness. Pitta persons have an athletic physique, are easily irritable, determined and persevering. To balance it, they need regular meals and to keep cool. Pitta controls all metabolic processes of the body, all transformation processes (e.g. digesting food, regulating body temperature).

Kapha arises from the elements earth and water, and represents stability, reliability, serenity. Kapha people usually have a broader and taller statue, have plump, shiny hair, beautiful large bright eyes, they are often overweight and slow and sluggish. Kapha holds the body together and supplies the body with water. It oils the joints and the skin. Kapha maintains the immune power.

Mostly we find mixed types (e.g. Vata-Pitta, or Kapaa-Vata) and sometimes even so-called "Tridosha" types, who carry all elements in a balanced way.
