WHY BODY CONSTITUTION ANALYSIS AS PER AYURVEDA NEED
WHY BODY CONSTITUTION ANALYSIS AS PER AYURVEDA NEED OF THE HOUR Dr. Nilima Jain www. ayurprideindia. com
I would like to start with a quote from our religious text - ‘BHAGWATA GITA’ When a man allows his mind to be amused by objects of enjoyment, an attraction for them is created. Attraction develops into craving & from craving follows the cause of anger. Anger produces delusion. Delusion confuses memory & understanding of things; from this confusion of understanding follows the disintegration of the power of discrimination of good & bad. With the disintegration gone, the man perishes.
In the fast paced life today many of us have lost touch with our real selves. We neither recognize our personal strengths nor the weakness. Here is when BODY CONSTITUTION and AYURVEDA come into play. So now we will discuss ‘why body constitution analysis? ’ and ‘why Ayurveda? ’.
WHY AYURVEDA? Is the only healthcare system which integrates ‘Science’ with ‘Soul’. Believes in Prevention of diseases, Promotion of health and its Preservation. Emphasizes on ‘Health and healing’ along with ‘Disease and treatment’. Is the ancient most health care system best suited for modern man.
WHY BODY CONSTITUTION ANALYSIS ? Ayurveda believes in individualized treatments for each and everybody. It believes that everyone has his or her own individual body constitution or ‘prakriti’ which plays an important role in their response to the treatments. Thus the emphasis is laid on body constitution.
WHAT IS BODY CONSTITUTION ? Body Constitution(B. C) or ‘Prakriti’, as is referred in Ayurveda, is the genetic constitution that an individual is born with. As per Ayurveda B. C depends on the 3 doshas – vata, pitta and kapha which are present in the body. B. C varies as per the permutation & combination of these three doshas. An individual reflects the predominance of one or more doshas in his personna as a whole.
