Getting To Know Your Doshas The Body Type System From Ancient Wisdom

The five elements combine to form the three principal body systems, nervous, digestive and immune aka(the doshas.)

Each person contains all three systems (dosha)which must be kept in balance for that person to remain healthy.

The ideal state for you to be in is your body constitution , your essential nature, which consists of of your predominant features nature gave you when you were born.

However, the health of the body is not like a clock; it is not a perfectly predictable mechanism. Altho like a clock the body can get rusted and sticky like the gers of a clock.

Your physiolology is  dynamic, moving, interactive flux, and your day to day signs and symptoms - is the job we all have in getting to know our bodies and caring for them.

Ayurveda says pay attention to your current condition, and when this differs significantly from your basic Ayurvedic Body Type, you experience symptoms - signs that something is awry in your mind-body.

SELF-ASSESSMENT: YOUR DOSHAS, YOUR SELF

Taking the Tests

Self-assessment and self-knowledge is a key concept in Ayurveda and is what attracts many people to this system in the first place.

But at this point you may wonder:

  • Do I really have to take all these tests to get rid of my headache, insomnia, or digestive problems?
  • Can't I just take the Ayurvedic remedies right now?
  • It is possible to get relief from these symptoms?

In fact using specific remedies lets you get your feet wet and is the way many people discover how effective Ayurveda can be.

However, while these specific, gentle Ayurvedic remedies are an improvement over commonly used drugs that are sold with or without prescription, which can be harsh or ineffective, they are a limited form of Ayurveda.

We urge you to go beyond this simple use of Ayurveda in order to reap long-term as well as immediate rewards.

Not only will the specific remedies work much more effectively to relieve your symptoms, but you will enjoy the additional benefits of Ayurveda:

  • Self-knowledge. 
  • Disease prevention. 
  • Rejuvenation. 
  • Longevity.
  • And even more.

This is why will set you firmly on the Ayurveda path so you can make informed choices backed with strong fundamental knowledge of the scientific principles.
