AYURVEDA - ANCIENT SYSTEM OF MEDICINE OF INDIA
Ayurveda in Sanskrit means “science of life“, or “science of longevity“. It is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India several thousand years ago, and in the modern structure of approaches to treatment it can be classified as alternative medicine
It is not just a system of treatment, it is knowledge about healthy living and the interaction of the body with the environment. Ayurveda, the science of longevity, is a system of natural treatment. It is known for its commitment to positive health, natural beauty and longevity. With roots in ancient times, Ayurveda is based on universal principles and is a living system of knowledge – as useful today as it was centuries ago.
Ayurveda can be called a system of knowledge about what to do and what not to do to maintain your health. Ayurveda tells us that it is easier to prevent a disease than to cure it.
Origins: There are four Vedas in India – treatises that became the basis of Indian philosophy. These are Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Adharvaveda. It is believed that Ayurveda arose as an offshoot of Adharvaveda more than five thousand years ago. It is also believed that this knowledge comes from Brahma (the deity who created the Universe according to Indian mythology) and was brought to earth through generations of gods and saints. It has reached us through ancient manuscripts in the form of books on palm leaves and leather. The oldest books on Ayurveda are Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita and Ashtanga Samgraha.
Ayurveda is also called Ashtanga Veda, which means eight branches of knowledge, as it can be divided into eight directions:
- Kaya Chikilsa – General medicine.
- Kaunara Bhrithya – Pediatrics.
- Graha Chikilsa – Psychiatry and treatment of psychosomatic diseases.
- Shalakya Tantra – Treatment of diseases of the eyes, ears, head, nose, throat and their surgery.
- Shalya Tantra – Shalya Tantra – General surgery.
- Agada Tantra – Toxicology.
- Rasayana Chikilsa – Rasayana Chikilsa is a health therapy.
- Vajeekarana Chikilsa – Aphrodisiac therapy.
Modern Ayurveda is based on nine main treatises, many of which date back to the first centuries of our era, and as a complete system, it was formed more than a thousand years ago. There were also entire dynasties of Ayurvedic doctors – vaidyas – who accumulated experience and knowledge over the centuries, and many modern Ayurvedic doctors come from such families.
The extensiveness of accumulated knowledge: Ayurvedic knowledge includes knowledge about the preparation of medicines from plants and minerals and animal oils and their use for diseases in the head area, the body as a whole, for the treatment of mental illnesses, childhood illnesses, against premature ageing of the body, etc.; knowledge about the structure of the human body, active points and zones of influence (marmas).
Holistic approach: The significance of the Ayurvedic approach to health lies in the unifying analysis of all the dynamic internal connections between organic and psychological processes, external factors including weather, work, diet, as well as the internal psychological and mental state. Even when working with the treatment of a specific disease, Ayurveda “sees” the entire body as a whole, for it any disease is a signal of trouble, or imbalance in the entire body and it will work, first of all, with the restoration of balance and health in the entire body.
Disease Prevention: Like naturopathy-based systems, Ayurveda believes that disease does not occur as a random phenomenon but due to specific causes which, if properly diagnosed, can help in treatment and more importantly, prevent the recurrence of the disease and prevent the development of serious diseases in the future.
Restoring Balance: Ideally, the human being and nature should be in harmony. The disease occurs when the balance between them disappears when the internal balance is disturbed. Restoring this fundamental balance by natural means and natural products is the main goal of this medical system. The goal of Ayurveda, as Sushruta, a famous physician, said two and a half thousand years ago, is “to restore health to those who are susceptible to disease, and to preserve the health of the soul of those who are healthy.” Indeed, Ayurveda treats not just the affected part of the body, but the whole person. The emphasis is not just on treatment, but on prevention of diseases. Its medicines are based on preparations from plants growing in India. Ayurvedic treatment has no side effects, and today it has received international recognition as a form of treatment, rejuvenation and healthy lifestyle.
Healthy person according to Ayurveda: Ayurveda approaches health holistically. So the fact that there is no pain, no disease does not mean health. Swastha (health) means “to be in oneself”. Ayurveda describes a healthy person as follows: “Samagnischa, Samadhatumalkriyah, Prasannatmendriyamanah, Swastha iti abhidhiyate” (Sushrut Samhita, Sutrasthan, Chapter 15, Shloka 10), which means: “One whose doshas are in balance, whose appetite is good, all the tissues of the body and all the natural functions are functioning well, whose mind, body and spirit are joyful, full of grace – he is healthy.”
HUMAN CONSTITUTION - THREE DOSHAS
According to Ayurveda, every animate and inanimate being in this universe is made up of five basic, universal elements called the Five Great Elements (Pancha Maha Bhuta). These elements are Earth (Prithivi), Water (Apa), Fire (Tejas), Air (Vayu) and Space/Ether (Akash).
The word Dosha literally means that which controls and maintains the body.
Ayurveda identified three substances, three basic life forces, three Doshas (Tridosha in Sanskrit), uniting these elements of the universe:
VATA – wind, a combination of the primary elements of air and space.
PITTA – bile, a combination of the primary elements of fire and water.
KAPHA – mucus, a combination of the primary elements of earth and water.
The word “Dosha” literally means that which controls and maintains the body. All three doshas participate in and direct all biological, psychological, physiological functions of the body, mind and consciousness.
Ayurveda believes that a living body can function properly only if the Tridoshas, the three principles listed above, are in balance with each other. This is achieved only when the body tissues (Dhatu), metabolism (Mala) and enzymes (Agni) are balanced.
Each person has his own ratio of Tridoshas in the body by nature, which determines his unique features, forms his unique body constitution, his character. The constitution of a person is called “Prakriti”, and it does not change throughout life, Prakriti is determined by examining and questioning the patient. Also, knowledge of one’s Prakriti gives knowledge about the tendency to certain diseases. A person who knows his Prakriti has the key to his health, knows his weak and strong points and can always prevent illness by taking preventive measures (using cleansing procedures – panchakarma, fasting, nutrition and regimen in accordance with his Prakriti)
AYURVEDA TERMINOLOGY, DOSHAS, CONSTITUTION
THE VATA PRINCIPLE
This dosha is considered the most important of the three doshas, it also controls the functions of other doshas, since it is Vata that is responsible for movement, including the movement of Pitta and Kapha.
Properties of Cotton Wool | Functions of Vata | Important Places of Vata |
Dry | Controls movements | Large intestine |
Easy | Controls breathing | Pelvic area |
Cold | Controls natural gases | Hips |
Rough | Tissue transformation | Ears |
Thin and fast | Motor functions | Bones |
Moving | Sensory functions | Leather |
Controls secretions and excretion | ||
Fear | ||
Pulses | ||
Anxiety |
The main place of Vata is the large intestine. Vata dosha tissues in the body are Ashti (bones). Vata waste is breath. Out of 100 people, 90-95 people have Vata dosha imbalanced.
When Vata is in balance, it is characterized by: enthusiasm, good mobility of various elements of the body, regularity, good waste removal, good transformation, efficient functioning of the organs.
The Pete Principle
Properties of Pita | Pita Functions | Important places in Pita |
A little oily | Accelerates metabolism and hormonal function | Navel |
Penetrating | Regulates body heat and temperature | Stomach and upper small intestine |
Hot | Helps digestion | Sweat |
Easy | Understanding | Lymph |
Unpleasant smell | Reasonableness | Blood |
Spreading | Hunger and thirst | Eyes |
Liquid form | Perception | Leather |
Color and build | ||
Anger | ||
Hatred | ||
Envy |
The navel is the main location of Pitta. Pitta’s location in the body is Rasa (plasma and digestive juice) and Rakta (blood). Pitta’s waste products are sweat and urine. Out of 100 people, 30-40 people have Pitta imbalance.
When Pitta is in balance, it is characterized by: good digestion and metabolism, normal temperature, vision and perception, brilliance, intelligence, courage, gentleness, good appetite and thirst.
The Kapha Principle
Properties of Kapha | Functions of Kapha | Important Places of Kapha |
Buttery | Gives stability and energy to the body | Breast |
Cold | Body development | Throat |
Heavy | Lubrication | Head |
Slow | Enthusiasm | Trachea |
Slippery | Sexual desire | Joints |
Soft | Forgiveness | Stomach |
Sustainable | Immunity | Lymph |
Attachment | Fat cells | |
Retention | Nose and tongue | |
Possessiveness | ||
Greed | ||
Nichollism | ||
Knowledge |
The chest is the most important seat of Kapha. Kapha tissues are Rasa (plasma and digestive juices) and Medas (fat). Kapha waste is stool. Out of 100 people, 5-10 have Kapha imbalance.
When Kapha is in balance, it is characterized by: stability, plasticity, joint mobility, compactness, indulgence, tolerance.
DOSHAS AND TIME, AGE, STAGES OF DIGESTION
Doshas are not only characteristics of the body. Each dosha also has a time of day when it is most active, different doshas participate in different stages of digestion, and one or another dosha comes into force at different periods of life.
KAPHA | PITA | COTTON WOOL | |
In the body | Upper part | Middle part | Bottom part |
During the day | 06:00-10:00 | 10:00-14:00 | 14:00-18:00 |
At night | 18:00-22:00 | 22:00-02:00 | 02:00-06:00 |
Age | Childhood | Youth | Old age |
Digestion stage | Start | Middle | End |
Other important Ayurvedic terms:
Dhatu – This term literally means that which supports and nourishes the functions of the body. These are the main functional tissues of the body, there are seven of them: Rasa (plasma), Medas (fat tissue), Sukla (semen and eggs), Rakta (blood), Ashti (bones), Mamsa (muscles), Majja (bone marrow). The correct amount of each dhatu and its balanced functioning is very important for good health.
Mala is what decomposes the body – these are the metabolic products that form in the body. These are mainly sweat, urine and stool. Proper elimination of Mala is equally important for health. Accumulation of Mala is the cause of many diseases.
Shrotas are the various channels responsible for transporting food, dhatus, malas and doshas. Poor functioning of these channels also leads to diseases.
Agni – The concept of Agni in Ayurveda is unique. In the external world, Agni can be observed in solar energy. The representative of solar energy in the body – responsible for metabolism – is called Agni. Because the tissues of the living body are not the same as the food we eat, which serves as the basis for their construction. And this transformation of food into a living body is what Agni deals with – digestion and transformation.
Three Gunas: This word means three qualities or three attributes. These are the three specific qualities of the Mind. They are Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Their qualities are:
Sattva – purity, faith in God, importance of truth, good morals and intelligence.
Rajas – talkativeness, ego, anger and unhealthy competition.
Tamas – fear, lack of knowledge, wrong knowledge, excessive sleep, laziness and depression.
Prakriti: Prakriti is the basic nature, the constitution of each person, and it is determined at the moment of conception, making up a unique combination of the five elements for each person and it remains unchanged throughout life. However, the balance.
this can be disrupted by a number of factors, which leads to illness. And, as can be understood from what has been said, the restoration of the constitutional balance of elements in the human body leads to its recovery.
There are a number of basic types of constitution:
- Type Vata
- Pete’s type
- Kapha type
- Vata-Pita type
- Vata-Kapha type

BALANCE OF DOSHAS AND CAUSES OF DISEASES
Health: Health in Ayurveda can be defined as a state of balance in the functioning of the Doshas in the three areas of the body – Dhatu (tissues), Mala (metabolism) and Agni (enzymes), accompanied by a feeling of serenity (well-being) of the body, senses, mind and soul.
Causes of diseases according to Ayurveda and methods of treatment
The imbalance of the three doshas occurs due to natural and unnatural causes. Natural imbalance occurs due to inevitable, natural factors, such as seasonal weather changes, age-related changes in a person, even different stages of digestion. This type of deviation is easily treated, and often the body itself successfully copes with them, so it does not require special treatment, but only a change in conditions.
An unnatural imbalance of doshas is caused by the long-term influence of various factors (internal and external) on the body. The causes of imbalance can be dysfunction of the sense organs; incorrect body habits, suppression of natural urges of the body, harmful eating habits, violations of seasonal and daily regimes. They can also be caused by eating incompatible food, lack of care for the body and health, constant exposure of the mind to harmful feelings of greed, envy, anger, etc. And if such factors exceed the body’s ability to balance, a person gets sick. The disease can appear in any organ, although the cause will not be in it, since the pathogenic principle can move along any of the body’s channels.
Long-term imbalance of doshas in the human body leads to the accumulation of toxins in the tissues and ultimately leads to the development of diseases.
Therefore, the main goal of Ayurvedic treatment is to remove accumulated toxins from the body and bring the balance of doshas to its natural state for a particular person. Depending on the Prakriti (nature, constitution) of each person and the ratio of his Tridoshas, the Ayurvedic doctor makes a diet and treatment plan. The main goal of treatment in Ayurveda is to remove the internal factors that caused the disease and bring the ratio of Doshas affecting Dhatu, Mala and Agni to a normal state of work.
MEDICINES AND HEALTHY NUTRITION
Ayurvedic treatment uses three types of medicinal substances: herbal preparations, animal preparations, and minerals, including precious and semi-precious stones and metals. Since most metals are toxic in their natural state, they are specially processed. The herbal substances used in Ayurveda are native to the Indian subcontinent or the Himalayas, and Ayurveda has accumulated extensive knowledge on the order of their collection, the medicinal properties of the roots, leaves, bark, flowers and seeds, the methods of their processing and combination, and their medicinal properties. Ayurveda uses herbal powders, pastes, syrups, decoctions, tinctures, tablets, oil or alcohol preparations.
Ayurveda also attaches great importance to nutrition: everything we eat daily greatly affects the balance in the body and, in fact, can also restore or disrupt health. Therefore, Ayurveda has accumulated a whole array of knowledge about what types of products and how exactly they are processed are prescribed to affect a particular dosha. It is also believed that one of the most important properties of food is its taste, of which there are six: sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter and astringent, as well as their various combinations. Each of the taste sensations causes a certain physiological effect: sweet promotes the formation of blood, tissue and fat in the body; sour promotes digestion, bitter improves appetite, etc.
DIAGNOSIS AND PRESCRIPTION OF TREATMENT
In order to begin healing the patient’s body, an Ayurvedic doctor must first determine his natural constitution; there is also a whole body of methods here: by appearance, by pulse, by a number of questions, sometimes quite unexpected.
Next, the doctor determines which dosha is in an irritated or suppressed state and selects methods of influencing the body to bring the doshas into a balanced state and to stimulate the elimination of toxins from the body. Therefore, the treatment plan is strictly individual – even if one technique/procedure is used in the treatment process, its duration, the oils and other preparations used can vary greatly. The patient may also be prescribed a certain diet to influence the doshas through food.
AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS
Let’s look at some of the treatment procedures described in Ayurvedic treatises and used in Ayurvedic centers (the pronunciation and spelling of the names varies in different sources due to pronunciation peculiarities that are difficult to convey in English and Russian spelling).
PANCHAKARMA
There are five main procedures for restoring dosha imbalance and rejuvenating the body, and each procedure has its own effect on the doshas, so usually 1-2 of them are prescribed for a specific patient. These main procedures are called Panchakarma – five actions. They are necessarily accompanied by accompanying preparatory procedures – massages, taking natural medicines and diet. Panchakarma includes:
- VAMANA– therapeutic nausea. Elimination of Kapha dosha imbalance (excess mucus) and removal of toxins from the body with the help of Ayurvedic preparations through emetic therapy.
- VIRECHANA– therapeutic pronation. Cleansing of the digestive system, removal of toxins from the liver and intestines.
- BASTI (VASTI)– medical enema – for Vata disorders. Use of herbal enemas consisting of vegetable oils and various decoctions for Vata dosha disorders.
- NASYAMA– a procedure for cleansing the nose, throat, sinuses and head. A therapy for removing toxins accumulated in the head and neck area through the nose and mouth along with their secretions; this process is done by introducing drops consisting of liquid herbal preparations or medicated oils through the nose.
- RAKTA MOKSHA– bloodletting using medicinal leeches. It is an effective method for blood purification in cancer and diseases associated with blood pollution. According to some treatises, the fifth action of Panchakarma is called Shirodhara.
Below we will describe the main procedures used together or separately from Panchakarma (some are a necessary component of it). The main part of the massages is carried out on a special massage table made of a single piece of wood with channels for the drainage of medicinal preparations, so that the patient is comfortable during the procedure. Also note that the order of the procedure and its duration may differ in different centers, and, moreover, the same procedure may be carried out differently for different patients.
