| The Origin of Ayurveda
For over 5000 years individuals in India have relied on the traditional system of Ayurveda for healthful living. More recently, this comprehensive and holistic system has gained popularity across the globe. Individuals looking for more natural methods of self-care are finding they can draw from this system's accumulated knowledge of naturally harmonious methods of interacting with the world around and within us. The Ayurvedic methods of self-care aid the natural healing systems of the body and promote healthy vitality through proactive living.
The sanskrit term 'Ayurveda' is composed of two words; ‘ayus' and ‘veda.' ‘Ayus' means life and ‘veda' means knowledge. It is most commonly translated as the ‘knowledge' or ‘science of life.' The origin of Ayurveda can be found in the 'Vedas,' classic Indian texts containing practical and scientific information on various aspects of self-care. This includes how we stimulate the body with work and exercise, how we nourish the body with food, sleep, and relaxation, how to comprehend and cope with various stressors and how to live in our environment in a naturally harmonious way. Over all, Ayurvedic practice promotes a comprehensive view of your lifestyle, including how you nourish and stimulate your body, mind and spirit to achieve a naturally balanced living experience. In part or in whole, Ayurvedic practice empowers individuals to find healthy ways of living with the aid of herbs, diet, and body therapies that fit their unique needs.
The Vedas recognize five elements in our environment; space (or ether), air, fire, water, and earth. In Sanskrit, these five elements together are known as ‘Panchmahabhoota' – ‘panch' for five, ‘maha' for great and ‘bhoota' for elements. These elements exist in you and everything around you. Every matter or substance has all five elements. However, in each substance, one or more elements predominate. The substance then readily reflects the characteristics of those elements. Ayurveda understands this law of nature. Hence it divides human body composition into one of three body types or doshas based on the predominance of specific elements.
