Abano.IT Hotels offer a lot of ayurvedic
treatments for their guests’ wellbeing. But Ayurveda is not only a group of treatments, but
a complex and sophisticated science. The term
“Ayurveda”, in fact, comes from Sanskrit, and
means “Life knowledge science”.
Ayurveda’s purpose, as in all the Oriental
sciences, is to reach a balance between the
body’s energy and the mind’s energy. These
energies are derived from a fluent combination
among the Five Elements and come to be expressed
in three principles called Dosha.
The Five Elements that constitute the universe (space,
air, fire, water and earth) form and determine the
origin and structure of living beings in different ways.
According to Ayurveda a person is the unique and
unrepeatable expression of the combination of these three main principles (dosha):
Vata, Pitta e Kapha,
whose prevalence identifies several constitutional
typologies.
The
term Vata Dosha indicates the principle born
from the combination of Ether and Air elements;
it is the movement principle which controls all
the nervous system’s functions in the body; it
manages everything that moves.
The term Pitta Dosha indicates the principle
born from the combination of Fire and Water elements; it is the transformation and heat
principle and it manages all the digestive and
transformation processes.
The term Kapha Dosha indicates the principle
born from the combination of Water and Earth
elements; it is the cohesion and stability
principle, it controls the immune system’s
functions and it is responsible for the body’s
structure.
Often one or
two dosha predominate and affect our character and our
physiological constitution. The individual’s
constitution, or Prakriti is therefore determined by the
composition and prevalence of each dosha and this is
what detects not only our psycho-physical structure, but
also the individual’s tendency towards imbalance and
illness. The knowledge of our constitution, or Prakriti,
is primordial for a conscious management of our life and
therefore of our health.
