The dosha’s balance can be considered like a
natural order: when this order is disturbed, it
creates an imbalance that is seen as disorder.
Health is order, illness is disorder. In living
beings there is a constant interaction and
alternation between order and disorder, balance
and imbalance.
Bad habits, lifestyle,
nutrition, stress and emotional repressions can throw
off the balance of a person’s dosha; as they get worse
they produce a change in the metabolism and tissue
physiology that leads to the production and the
accumulation of Ama, or toxins. These toxins enter the
circulation and are distributed all throughout the
living being, blocking off the channels that, according
to Ayurveda, functionally connect all the corporal
tissues. The poisoning will gradually affect the being
on all its levels (energetic, immune and metabolic)
bringing about the symptoms of the illness. Every
illness is the expression of accumulation of Ama, or
toxins.
An ayurveda doctor is able to evaluate through the
diagnosis methods of aryuveda, in which a pulse exam
plays an important role, the first stages of an
imbalance, before any clear signs of symptoms, hence
intervening by supplying specific recommendations about
a better life style, eating habits and remedies meant to
re-establish the psychological and phisical balance,
needed to be in good health.
There are various healing techniques adopted by
Ayurvedica Medicine, including actions directed to
re-balance the body, the mind and their interaction with
the environment.
In sum, we can identify a series of actions through:
BODY: nutrition,
use of medicinal plants, external physical
treatments such as massages (abyangam) given
with oil and particular techniques, cleansing
therapies known as panchakarma, purification
techniques and yoga asana;
SENSES: according to Ayurveda, the imbalance
derives from an incorrect use of the senses, and
just like the senses can bring and imbalance
they can also bring the re-balance. This is why
all treatments such as aromas, music, awareness
of food flavours, space, forms and colours,
tactile and contact stimulation are considered
in order to reach a suitable sense appeal and a
precise therapeutic answer.
BEHAVIOUR: understood as what is connected to
the environment, deprived of any moral
references; and consists, for instance, of
psycho-physical rhythms related to daily
schedules, seasonal changes and rhythms of
nature in general;
MIND: Ayurveda gives emphasis to the ecology of
the mind and its processes as the key to
individual balance; and suggests various rebalancing methods based on techniques of
meditation and yoga;
ENVIROMENT: Aryuveda identifies in the
environment the source of sense stimulation that
could determine our balance and thus foresees an
accurate analysis of the environment according
to the vedica science called Vastu (similar to
the Chinese feng shui).
In reality,
Aryuveda is more than a simple medicine, it rather
directs life towards the learning of regularity and
harmony of a life style, expressed on its three main
components: activity, nutrition and rest.
