Ayurveda – The Knowledge of Life

The term Ayurveda is a combination of two Sanskrit words—Ayur and Veda. Here Ayur denotes life and Veda denotes knowledge/science. It is one of the world’s oldest healing systems developed thousands of years ago, in India. The primary focus of Ayurveda is to enhance good health and minimize the efforts to fight disease. Though some specific health issues may demand different treatments, Ayurveda practices affect your longevity.

Ayurveda pushes you more towards prevention of diseases instead of struggling with its cure. This is because the treatment methodology in Ayurveda does not confine to the affected parts but the whole body. This helps in the purification of the body in a natural way. This includes, removing of toxic substances and boosting the immunity power, to fight diseases and gain good health. 

Ayurveda has a catalog of healthy lifestyle routine. The table of contents in this catalog includes every bit and byte of our daily life schedule. For example, the food we eat, the behavior we follow, the sleep we take, and the water we drink etc. On the basis of this, it finds the best possible alternatives to healing the illness and optimizes good health. With its roots in Metaphysics, Ayurveda is not only a treatment but a way of life.

The key concept revolves around the five elements:

• Agni (Fire)

• Prithvi (Earth)

• Vayu (Air) 

• Jal (Water)

• Akash (Ether or Space)

Ayurveda says, there is an interconnection between a Human and Nature. Every human being relates with nature to the same physics of matter. A unique combination of Doshas in Humans varies from person to person. The three elemental energies of universe i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha can be balanced by the science of Ayurveda.

Vata Dosha: Vata dosha is formed by the combination of Air and Ether. It is the Vata Dosha that guides the principle of motion and hence is the ultimate force behind nerve impulses, respiration, elimination, and circulation.

Pitta Dosha: It forms by the combination of Water and Fire.  Pitta Dosha governs digestion and metabolism, hence also known as the transformation process.

Kapha Dosha: Made from Eart and Water, Kapha Dosha offer protection by adding structure unit by unit. It maintains the integrity of our mind and body as well.

Ayurvedic Skin Types and How to take Care of them

Every woman dreams of a beautiful glowing skin that every man appreciates. This is because; it is a normal human behavior to get attracted towards people with clean and clear skin. It is a symbol of healthy body.

Know your Ayurvedic skin types

In order to have a holistic approach towards skin care, it is very important to find out your Ayurvedic skin type. Here they are:

There are 3 psychophysiological principles, Pitt, Vata, and Kapha called Doshas. All the activities in the body, as well as mind (emotional and mental tendencies), are governed by all these Doshas. Vata Dosha is mostly in the space and air, Pitta is water and fire, and Kapha is earth and water. According to the Ayurvedic skin type, the skin can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha or a combination of any of the two.

The Vata skin is, in general, thin, dry, and cool. This type of skin gets dehydrated very easily due to change in diet, climate, and lifestyle. Those who have Pitta skin tends to have frequent breakouts as a result of hot food and temperature. Also, the Pitta skin is warm to the touch. Coming to Kapha, this type of skin is very thick, greasy, and tolerant to the sun.

If the skin is a combination of any of the two, for example, Vata-Pitta, then it is both dry as well as sensitive. Vata-Kapha skin has some oil zones but is usually dry. However, the Kapha-Pitta skin is oily and sensitive.

Here are a few Ayurvedic tips and tricks in order to slow down the accumulation of Doshas in the body and keeps the skin beautiful.
