Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of natural health care,
originating in the ancient traditions of India. Now considered one of
the leading forms of holistic medicine available in the West, Ayurveda
addresses all factors that influence our quality of life.
The principles of Ayurveda state that nothing exists in isolation, so
that everything you interact with, your diet, family, work or relationships,
has an effect on your health and well being. One guiding principle of
Ayurveda is that mind and body are connected and that the mind has a profound
influence over our health and well-being. While conventional Western medicine
is still grounded in the paradigm of mind-body separation, Ayurveda holds
that health is more than the absence of disease; it is a dynamic state
of balance and integration of body, mind, and spirit. According to Ayurveda, each of us inherits a unique mix of three mind/body
principles which creates our specific mental and physical characteristics.
These three principles are called doshas. Most of us have one or two doshas which are most lively in our nature,
with the remaining one(s) less significant. The three doshas are known
as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. An understanding of doshas is foundational
to the understanding of Ayurveda. In the Creating Health Workshop, the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda
is merged with the knowledge of modern medicine to create an integrated
path toward health and well being.
