The goal of Ayurveda medicine if the purification of body and mind and the balancing of the body’s vital energies - to develop a personal knowledge of life.  The body’s vital energy is moved through the seven major chakras, or energy centers. Disease occurs from uncorrected imbalances brought about by stress, poor lifestyle choices, and poor diet.  A recent study in the “Journal of Social Behavior and Personality,” said that Ayurvedic purification, including body massage and an herbal enema, reduced free radicals in the blood, increased energy, improved digestion, and reduced symptoms of illness.

Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine, using diet, herbs, cleansing and purification practices, yoga, astrology and gemstones to bring about healing.This article focuses on the dietary principles of Ayurveda and how an ayurvedic diet can both prevent and heal disease. Ayurveda is from India and is at least 5,000 years old, and still as effective as when it was created by ancient sages known as Rishis. The Rishis, masters of meditation and observation, developed a remarkable system of healing based on the five basic elements of the universe, ether, air, fire, water and earth and their combinations, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, known as the doshas. Your dosha is your constitutional type. There are three main types and four combination types. By knowing your type, you have immediate access to useful information on what to eat, how to exercise, what to wear, how to cleanse and purify your body and how to prevent disease, as well as much, much more.

Basic Concepts: In Ayurvedic Tours and holidays , you can study the basic concept of Ayurveda.According to Ayurvedic beliefs, the physical and mental characteristics and well-being of each individual are determined by that person’s dosha, or metabolic body type. There are three doshas or energy types: vata, pitta, and kapha. Most people have a predominant dosha, though all three doshas are present in everyone to varying degrees. Vata individuals tend to be slender and restless, with cool, dry skin and dry hair.
