Known as the "Mother of All Healing," the oldest known system of medicine in the world is Ayurveda meaning "The Science of Life" in Sanskrit. This traditional method emphasises how important it is to preserve vitality and also acknowledges that true wellness in health requires balance between the mind, body, and spirit. It prioritises preserving stability by taking care of one's mental health, their way of living, and the diet for their overall wellbeing. The greater part of engaging in ayurvedic treatments is its ability to heal you solely through natural methods without having to perform complex surgery procedures therefore it not only heals your body but also heals your mind and soul through other methods such as meditation and yoga.
The Vata Dosha, which controls basic body functions like cell division, mental state, respiration, blood flow, cardiac activity, and eliminating waste from the body, is regarded as the most powerful of the three doshas in Ayurveda. It can be disturbed by things like eating too quickly after a meal, fear, sadness, and insufficient sleep. People may be more susceptible to ailments including anxiety, asthma, heart disease, skin problems, and rheumatoid arthritis if vata dosha becomes more dominant in the body.
This is another important energy that controls the metabolism of your body, which determines how well the food is broken down and also it ensures how certain hormones that control your hunger works. The process of this energy could become disrupted when you eat sour or spicy meals and also when you spend too much time in the sun. If that energy rules your body, you can be more at risk for illnesses like Crohn's disease, heart problems, hypertension, and infections.
This is the energy that controls the immune system, weight, stability, physical strength, and the growth of muscles and this energy and all these processes could be disrupted by sleeping during the day, eating too much sweets, and consuming too much salt or water. Practitioners advise that you could be more prone to diseases like asthma, respiratory issues, cancer, diabetes, post-meal nausea, and obesity if this energy becomes dominant.
There are different ayurvedic treatments for different ailments and some of these are combined together to heal you considering your body type. These treatments could be personalised according to your health needs and doha types of your body.
Yoga is a way of practise that harmonises the body and mind together to achieve certain goals related to the mental and physical well being of a person. The Sanskrit word "Yuj," which means "joining" or "harnessing," is where the word “yoga” is derived from. Yoga consists of both physical and spiritual components; however modern Western yoga, which is an adaptation of this ancient practice, focuses more on the physical fitness with the use of more postures and body relaxation.
Meditation is a technique that is practised to enhance the consciousness, mental focus, and inner serenity and is very closely related to Hindu and Buddhist practices. The benefits of engaging in meditation goes beyond spiritual contexts where it serves in reducing tension and anxiety which encourages relaxation because the mind is a very powerful asset when properly trained with meditation therefore aiding in healing the body. Yoga and meditation together produce a greater enhancement in your health and wellbeing overall.

In the past, Ayurvedic treatments made use of yoga and meditation along with traditional healthcare to help people recover from various illnesses because these practices have been able to show an improvement on how patients’ bodies and minds positively react to the ayurvedic treatments. Recent Western research supports these methods and bears witness to their many real benefits.
