Find out your unique constitution
Ayurveda, which translates as “knowledge of life,” dates back 5,000 years to the ancient Sanskrit texts, the Vedas. It’s a system of healing that examines physical constitution, emotional nature, and spiritual outlook in the context of the universe. According to the philosophy, universal life force manifests as three different energies, or doshas, known as vata, pitta, and kapha. We’re all made up of a unique combination of these three forces. Though everyone has some of each, most people tend to have an abundance of one or two of the doshas. This unique combination is determined at the moment of conception and is your own personal blueprint, or prakriti (nature). As you move through life, the proportion of each of the three doshas constantly fluctuates according to your environment, your diet, the seasons, the climate, your age, and many other factors. As they move into and out of balance, the doshas can affect your health, energy level, and general mood.
"Ayurveda, ambayo ni tafsiri ya ""maarifa ya maisha,"" ni tarehe nyuma ya miaka 5,000 kwa maandishi ya kale ya Sanskrit, Vedas." Ni mfumo wa uponyaji ambao huchunguza muundo wa kimwili, asili ya kihisia, na mtazamo wa kiroho katika muktadha wa ulimwengu. "Kulingana na falsafa hiyo, nguvu ya uhai ya ulimwengu huonekana kama nguvu tatu tofauti, au dosha, zinazojulikana kama vata, pitta, na kapha.""" Sisi sote tumetengenezwa na mchanganyiko wa pekee wa nguvu hizi tatu. Ingawa kila mtu ana baadhi ya kila moja, watu wengi huwa na wingi wa moja au mbili ya doshas. Mchanganyiko huu wa kipekee huamuliwa wakati wa mimba na ni ramani yako mwenyewe ya kibinafsi, au prakriti (asili). Katika maisha, kiasi cha dosha zote tatu kinabadilika kulingana na mazingira, chakula, majira, hali ya hewa, umri na mambo mengine mengi. Wanapoingia na kutoka katika usawa, dosha zinaweza kuathiri afya yako, kiwango cha nishati, na hali ya moyo kwa ujumla.
