According to Ayurveda, the five senses are the doorways to our internal physiology.

Your brain has ten billion nerve cells, and over one trillion different electrical circuits. Your five senses fill these circuits day and night with a ceaseless perseverance. But the brain is only one part of you. As Diane Ackerman writes in The Natural History of the Senses,

Most people think of the mind as located in the head, but the latest findings in physiology suggest that the mind doesn't really dwell in the brain but travels the whole body on caravans of hormones and enzymes, busily making sense of the compound wonders we catalogue as touch, taste, smell, hearing, and vision.

Choosing the precise medicine for your one trillion circuits and 10 trillion cells can make the difference between inner serenity and inner chaos, between health and disease.

We use the five senses in  clinical practice to restore and maintain balance to the doshas.

The simple practices suggested here are among the most pleasurable and effective in Ayurveda and include making use of fragrant essential oils, tasty spices, wondrous musical compositions, and special massage points.

Ayurvedic therapy includes  five-senses therapy because it is so easy and pleasurable for her patients to use—and because of its speedy effect.

• For example one patient says that "after Dr. Thomas had me use
• light,
• sound, and
• aromatherapy,
• I immediately felt better: more relaxed, balanced, and energetic."

The five-senses therapies are even more effective if you use them in conjunction with other fundamental Ayurvedic practices, as this patient discovered: "Five days after I began light therapy, raga music, vata aromatherapy, using herbal oil for daily self-massage, and following the vata-stabilizing diet,

• Aromatherapy,
• music called ragas,
• touch,
• the six taste, and
• sight are used to heal and
• maintain health according to you
• body type,
• the season,
• how feel in moment,
• and how old you are.
