Ayurvedic medicine — also known as Ayurveda — is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems. It was developed thousands of years ago in India.
It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. The primary focus of Ayurvedic medicine is to promote good health, rather than fight disease. But treatments may be recommended for specific health problems.
Ayurveda Concepts
According to Ayurvedic theory, everything in the universe — living or not — is connected. Good health is achieved when your mind, body, and spirit are in harmony with the universe. A disruption of this harmony can lead to poor health and sickness.
For followers of Ayurveda, anything that affects your physical, spiritual, or emotional well-being can cause you to be out of balance with the universe. Some things that can cause a disruption include:
- Genetic or birth defects
- Injuries
- Climate and seasonal changes
- Age
- Emotions
How your body works to keep you healthy and your unique physical and psychological characteristics combine to form your body’s constitution, or prakriti. Your prakriti is believed to stay the same for your entire life. However, how you digest food and eliminate waste can influence it.
Every person is made of a combination of five basic elements found in the universe:
- Space
- Air
- Fire
- Water
- Earth
These elements combine in the human body to form three life forces or energies, called doshas. They control how your body works. The three doshas are:
- Vata dosha (space and air)
- Pitta dosha (fire and water)
- Kapha dosha (water and earth)
Everyone inherits a unique mix of the three doshas. One dosha is usually more dominant. Each dosha controls a different body function. It is believed that your chances of getting sick are linked to the balance of your doshas.
Vata Dosha
Vata dosha (space and air) is thought to be the most powerful of all three doshas. It controls very basic body functions, such as how cells divide. It also controls your:
Mind
Breathing
Blood flow
Heart function
Ability to get rid of body waste through the intestines
Things that can disrupt this dosha are:
Eating dry fruit
Eating too soon after a previous meal
Fear
Grief
Staying up too late
If vata dosha is your main life force, you are more likely to develop:
Anxiety
Asthma
Heart disease
Nervous system disorders
Rheumatoid arthritis
Skin problems
Pitta Dosha

Digestion
Ability to break down foods (metabolism)
Certain hormones linked to appetite
Things that can disrupt this dosha are:
Eating sour foods
Eating spicy foods
Fatigue
Spending too much time in the sun
If pitta dosha is your main life force, you are more likely to develop:
Anger and negative emotions
Crohn’s disease
Heart disease
Heartburn a few hours after eating
High blood pressure
Infections
Kapha Dosha
The kapha dosha (water and earth) controls:
Muscle growth
Body strength and stability
Weight
Immune system
Things that can disrupt this dosha are:
Daytime sleeping
Eating after your stomach is full
Eating or drinking items that have too much salt or water
Eating too many sweet foods
Greed
If kapha dosha is your main life force, you are more likely to develop:
Asthma and other breathing disorders

The Ayurvedic Visit
There are a few state-approved Ayurvedic schools in the U.S. However, the U.S. has no national standard training or certification program for Ayurvedic practitioners.
Some practitioners may have a great deal of training or experience, others may not. Do your homework when choosing an Ayurvedic practitioner. Ask about his or her training and experience.
In India, Ayurvedic training can take five or more years. Graduates receive either a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) or Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (DEMS) degree.
At your first visit, the practitioner will examine you and try to determine your primary dosha and the balance among the others. The exam will include:
Checking your weight
Examination of urine and stools
Feeling your pulse (each dosha theoretically creates a unique pulse)
Listening to your speech and voice
Looking at your eyes, teeth, tongue, and skin
You will be asked questions about your:
Ability to recover from an illness
Behaviors
Diet
Lifestyle
Medical history, including recent illnesses
