Welcome to the website ayurveda.plus!

If we compare Ayurveda and traditional medicine, we can observe that traditional medicine cures the problem mainly, and Ayurveda finds the cause of the disease and eliminates it, maintaining overall health. There are no magical rituals in Ayurvedic procedures. Massage and oil, daily routines and proper nutrition have a beneficial effect on the vital functions of the body as a whole. I have tried many traditional Ayurvedic methods and procedures on myself and I will notice that the body, thanks to them, receives additional energy and strength.

Ayurveda is not just a system of maintaining health, but also a holistic worldview that reflects the deep connection of Nature and human existence.

Yoga & ayurveda

How are they interconnected?

This may be surprising, but ancient texts tell us that yoga and Ayurveda are complementary systems. In yoga, a lot of attention is paid to austerities, Ayurveda also draws our attention to deep relaxation.

Thus, the connection between yoga and Ayurveda becomes obvious to everyone who strives for harmonious evolution. Studying both of these sciences can help us find the golden mean of our path.

Yoga and Ayurveda making a big influence to health and go hand in hand, complementing each other. Our contemporaries may wonder - what came first yoga or Ayurveda? However, answering it with accuracy without the help of deep meditation, samadhi, won't work. Therefore, it would be hard without a yoga technique in self-development.

"Ayurveda should be studied by the brahmanas - to benefit all living beings, rulers - to protect themselves and their people, merchant people - to achieve prosperity".

Charaka Samhita

1500 BC e. (word of mouth)

"A person striving for a long life, who must ensure the achievement of four goals: dharma, artha, kama and moksha, must turn to Ayurveda with deep faith".

Ashtanga-hridayam-samhita

VII century AD e.

"Ayurveda is a teaching that makes known what life is, as well as substances, their qualities and actions that promote longevity or hinder it".

Charaka Samhita

The final written edition was formed by 150 BC. e.

Ayurveda, India and sanskrit

Ayurvedic knowledge has come down to us in the form of sources written in Sanskrit. Like medicine and the philosophy of Ayurveda has an extensive terminology and therefore, to study Ayurveda, it is extremely necessary to know its terms and fully understand them.

Doshas

दोष /doṣa – three subtle substances of the body, principles that are formed from the five primary elements of the material world. Vata (wind / movement), Pitta (fire / transformation), Kapha (mucus / accumulation). All three doshas are in the body, but in different proportions. Dosha means something that causes distortion or damage to something. In this sense, the imbalance of doshas causes imbalance in a healthy state of the body and leads to illness. While the balance of the three doshas supports the body in health.

Panchakarma

पञ्चकर्म /pañcakarma – an effective system of purification and rejuvenation of the body in Ayurveda. Panchakarma - five actions. There are five main procedures, and each procedure has its own effect on the doshas. Vamana - therapeutic vomiting. Virecha is an indulgence. Basti is a healing enema. Nasya - nose drops. Moksha Racta - therapeutic bloodletting. Usually, 2-3 of them are prescribed for a particular patient. Panchakarma is accompanied by preparatory procedures and lasts at least 21 days.

Samhita

संहिता /saṃhitā – is a term used to refer to a number of sacred texts of Hinduism. Samhites are collections of hymns, prayers, blessings, sacrificial formulas. Samhites are the main metric texts - hymns and mantras - of each of the four Vedas. Samkhits are also called a number of other, post-scholarly texts on yoga and Ayurveda. For example, such are Charaka Samhita, Sushrut Samhita and Ashtang Hriday Samhita - the main Ayurvedic sources.

Prakriti

प्रकृति/ prakṛti – cause, matirial, nature - in the philosophy of Sankhya is the main substance from which the world develops. In Ayurveda, the individual constitution of a person from the birth is the original nature. Prakriti describes the ratio of doshas in the body of a particular person and is unchanged throughout life. Diseases appear when the doshas are unbalanced, and for an ideal state, one must strive for the doshas balance indicated in prakriti. Knowing your prakriti makes it possible to prevent the disease by taking preventive measures.

Dravyaguna

द्रव्यगुण /dravyaguṇa – is a section of Ayurvedic medicine that describes the properties, actions and therapeutic methods of using various food and medicinal substances. Dravyaguna is an absolutely complete knowledge of Ayurvedic pharmacology and contains versatile information about the characteristics of groups of natural substances. It gives practical skills about the name, synonyms, forms of substances, their qualities and effects, methods of their use and describes indications, contraindications and side effects.

Abhyanga massage training

Ayurvedic massage, or Abhyanga, differs significantly from the classic western. If classical massage affects the physiology of the patient, then massage in Ayurveda is aimed not only at working out the muscles, but also at harmonizing health both at the energy and spiritual levels. As a result, a state of mental and emotional rest is achieved.

Four hands synchronous massage, special temperature and humidity, various oils (over 50 types), incense aromas, specially selected music and much more allow you to achieve greater relaxation and, as a result, maximum effect.

In our center, Ayurvedic massage training takes place in several stages. Gradually, you can master the diversity of knowledge and become a specialist in this field.

Auyrvedic nutrition

One of the most important aspects of Ayurvedic treatment is the application of the principles of healthy eating. Ayurveda dishes can give benefits to the body and also taste wonderful. Dosha nutrition can improve the body and also diversify the usual diet!
