Thousands of folks following ancient Ayurveda concepts live a long life, always healthy and happy! According to Ayurveda - mind and body are deeply connected. Dr Vasant Lad, Ayurveda legend in North America says," According to the teachings of Ayurveda, every aspect of life contributes to overall health." Deepak Chopra, holistic health expert and popular author says," When mind, body and spirit are in harmony, Happiness is the natural result." And the ancient Ayurveda text proclaims," The utility of Ayurveda is to maintain the health of the healthy individual and heal the disease of the sick." Ayurveda says human beings are formed by the combination of three Doshas (body
type). The three Doshas - Vata (Air and space), Pitta (Fire and water ) and Kapha (earth and water). Each person is made up of combination of Doshas, and this is the reason each person is unique according to Ayurveda. Usually one prominent Dosha, and the other two are secondary Doshas. The balance of Doshas keeps a person healthy. When there is an imbalance of Doshas, it gives rise to disease. You can find out your Dosha online by answering a few questions. It is perfectly okay if you are unable to find your Dosha because Dosha changes according to the season and lifestyle. These basic six concepts of Ayurveda will help to keep your three Dosha balanced, and always healthy and blissful.
