Book excerpt: Are you underweight? Are you easily fatigued? Do you experience discomfort in the joints? Do you suffer from dryness, insomnia, or constipation? Are you constantly restless or agitated? Is your skin dry, rough, or thin? If so, you need to balance your Vata Dosha... Ayurveda, which derives from ancient Vedic scriptures, is a 5,000-year-old medical ideology and philosophy based on the idea that we are all made up of different types of energy. There are three doshas in Ayurveda that describe the dominant state of mind/body--Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. While all three are present in everyone, Ayurveda suggests that we each have a dominant dosha that is unwavering from birth, and ideally an equal (though often fluctuating) balance between the other two. If doshas are balanced, we are healthy; when they are unbalanced, we develop a disorder commonly expressed by skin problems, impaired nutrition, insomnia, irritability, and anxiety. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are all important to our biology in some way, so no one is greater than, or superior to, any other. Each has a very specific set of basic functions to perform in the body. Each of the doshas has its own special strengths and weaknesses, and with a little awareness, you can do a lot to remain healthy and balanced. I've made a complete series of these three. This is Vata; the other two are also available. You can use this series to adjust your lifestyles and routines in a way that supports your constitution. Because Pitta and Kapha cannot pass without it, Vata is assumed to be the chief of the three Ayurvedic Standards in the body. It is therefore really important to keep Vata in a good balance. Vata reflects the energy of motion and is therefore always associated with the Wind (and the element of Air). Vata is the invisible force of movement--composed of Space and Air. It controls breathing, blinking, contraction of muscle and tissue, pulsation of the heart, and all movements of the cytoplasm and cell membranes. Vata fosters innovation, creativity, and versatility in a balanced way. But it also causes fear and anxiety when out of control. In Ayurvedic medicine, the Vata Dosha is the lightest and most innovative of all doshas. When Vata type are out of control, their creative minds and bodies, which are always on their way, will overwhelm themselves with fear and chaos. In this book, we'll dive deeper into what Vata means, what throws Vata out of balance, and how to identify the Vata Dosha in your environment, in yourself, and in others. With this book, I'm going to share with you everything you need to know in order to balance your Vata Dosha and use it for your overall vitality, joy, and well-being. Reading This You'll Discover: Vata Characteristics Vata Doshas and Subdoshas Disorders Caused by Vata Imbalance What Causes Vata Dosha or Imbalance Ways to Deal with Vata Dosha Vata-Stabilizing Lifestyle Tips Clarification on Vata Dosha and Fasting The Relation Between Vata Dosha and Warm Foods Guidance on Different Vata Diets What Tastes to Favor for Vata Balancing Foods that Pacify Vata and What Foods to Avoid How to Eat for Vata Balancing Vata Friendly, Delicious Recipes Vata Seasonal Guide Best Yoga Poses Essential Herbs Ideal Oil Massage for Vata Balancing Just follow the book along, and you'll reveal the easiest step-by-step routine to balance your Vata Dosha by the end of it!

Download or read book The Seven Ways of Ayurveda written by Sarah Kucera and published by The Experiment. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the Ayurvedic personality types, or doshas, with psychology-based advice on cultivating balance, from the author of The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook At the core of Ayurveda is an understanding that we are all made of the same materials—the five elements of ether (space), air, fire, water, and earth—and how you look, think, and feel can be traced back to your unique proportion of these elements at any given time. This is your dosha, the true essence of who you are. Knowing your dosha is the key to deeper self-knowledge, easier relationships, and a happier future. In The Seven Ways of Ayurveda, you’ll discover which type fits you best. Vata: creator, multitasker, artist Pitta: perfectionist, challenger, leader Kapha: peacemaker, nurturer, lover Vata-Pitta: performer, innovator, first responder Pitta-Kapha: guardian, moralist, observer Vata-Kapha: dreamer, supporter, conversationalist Tri-Dosha: proficient in all trades, well-rounded Then, you’ll identify your innate strengths (and their “shadow sides”); whether you’re out of balance (and what to do); how your unique type approaches work, love, travel, and more; and how to forge true, mutual understanding with friends and loved ones whose doshas may differ. When you know yourself better, you can take better care of yourself—and others, too.

The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few. While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers.
