Do you ayurveda?

In recent years, Ayurveda has emerged in France. We hear more and more about ayurvedic massage, ayurvedic medicine. Yet, this philosophy of life and medicine that have existed for over 5000 years in India.

Ayurveda is composed of two words, Ayur means life and veda meaning knowledge or science. This philosophy was primarily to help you rebalance your energies to live in perfect harmony with yourself and the world around you.

Ayurveda is both a way of life and a medicine known as Ayurveda.

Regarding lifestyle, Ayurveda is practiced every day. You need to work on you daily. You must be very careful about ecology, but not one that we, the West, we know. You should be aware of the nature that surrounds you in the preserving, but also your inner nature. Thus, you should avoid your being polluted by harmful elements such as negative thoughts. For this you need to adopt a positive attitude. Similarly, you must learn to control your emotions and impulses like jealousy, anger, uncertainty, fanaticism.

Work is therefore on you so that you reach the well-being and inner peace, while trying to be in perfect harmony with nature around you. So you must change your diet according to different seasons. All acts of your daily life are resolved accurately and every moment of the day should be devoted to a specific activity. In the morning you need, for example, getting up early, you massage, do exercise, take a shower, you purify, meditate, eat before going to work. At night, you must be creative, you walk, meet people, meditate, relax and sleep.

Food is of great importance in ayurveda. You should consume no excess and healthy way. For example, you should eat only when hungry.

The world is a whole and each of its elements (space, air, earth, fire, water) interact with each other. They act on man and influence. Similarly, human impact nature. And the goal is to find the perfect harmony so that the balance is carried.

Ayurveda is a kind of preventive treatment of disease. But, if they occur, treatment “medical” exist.

Ayurveda has given birth to ayurvedic medicine, alternative medicine, taught in universities in India.

According to ayurveda, each person has a Prakruti, a constitution and metabolism of its own. From there, have been defined three humors or doshas, that is to say, the vital energies that regulate the body. These three humors are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each of us is more or less Vata, that is to say impulsive, imaginative and restless insomniac, Pitta, that is to say, very tough, angry and passionate and Kapha, ie say up solid but slow and prone to obesity and cholesterol.

To be healthy, we need your three humors are balanced.

If you are sick, so that your mood is in excess in your body. If it hurts, is the Vita which is in excess if you have a fever, is the Pitta, and if you scratch, it is the Kapha. Each mood is separate treatment, which consists of massage with enema in diet, physical exercise in mental and spiritual exercises and more surprisingly, fasting, singing, affection, gatherings, etc..

The principle of Ayurveda is to treat the person (children to seniors) and not the disease. Each person is different constitution, being composed of different moods, treatment will not be the same.

Thus, by examining your eyes, your language, your wrist or your urine, your doctor may ask Ayurvedic diagnosis and determine which treatment is best for you.

These treatments may seem incongruous to Western minds, are to treat your entire body. For example, if you suffer from liver, we will not only give you a treatment for the liver. All of your body and your mind will be treated.

This treatment is done in stages:

- Cleaning your organization (Shodan), which consists of massage with oils and herbs to remove toxins and in enemas, in vomiting, nasal douches in for you free of excess; ingestion of yogurt in special restore your intestinal flora

- The spiritual treatment (Shaman) which consists of meditation, yoga, chanting, breathing in order to reconcile the doshas

- Physical exercises and breathing with absorption of herbs and minerals to improve your vitality and your physical performance (the Rasayana)

- The practice of mantras (sound therapy), the yantras (helps concentration) and Tantra (direction of energy through the body) to fight against stress and increase your psychological balance in order You raise spiritually and mentally.

In disease prevention, the proposed schemes are intended to help you strengthen your weakest organs and balancing your body and your mind.

In France, ayurvedic medicine pure and simple, does not yet seem to many followers. It must certainly be born in India to achieve fully understand the very principles of Ayurveda. By cons, are emerging for some time ayurvedic massages, treatments, diets inspired Ayurveda, Yoga without forgetting.

The ayruveda seems complicated at first sight and it is certainly very difficult to know all the ins and outs. However, with changing attitudes toward the West from a desire to live more in harmony with nature, to a better physical and mental, is that we do not approach a little more each day ayurveda ?
