Ayurveda, or Ayurvedic medicine, is a traditional medical system that uses a holistic approach to improve physical and mental health. It originated in India in the 2nd century BC and is still widely used there. Ayurvedic medicine focuses on restoring the balance between a person's mind, body, spirit, and environment. Treatment involves a personalized plan that includes diet, movement, massage, herbs, and other therapies. In Ayurveda, the body is comprised of seven types of tissues known as Sapta Dhatus. Tri Malas and Agni are other important elements in Ayurveda. Tri Malas involves three types of waste products: sweat, urine, and feces. Agni represents the biological fire that helps carry out metabolic processes. Imbalances in either Tri Malas or Agni can lead to a variety of conditions including digestive issues and skin irritation. Each dosha is associated with specific physical qualities, personality traits, and emotional strengths and weaknesses. Every person has a combination of all three doshas, but one or two doshas are usually dominant. This comprehensive book clearly explains the principles and practical applications of Ayurveda, the oldest healing system in the world. The book will be useful for all those interested in Ayurveda and its self healing applications.
