TRIDOSHA SIDHATHA - Vata Dosha ( Leader of Tridosha )

In this and coming articles we will take a look at Tridosha sidhhanta (Principle of 3 doshas). In our nature all events takes place because of five Tatva’s or we call them elements. These 5 tatva’s are as follows:

• Anil (air) 
• Agni (fire) 
• Jal (water) 
• Prithvi (earth) 
• Aakash (eather/sky)

Similarly, according to Ayurveda our various body functions such as digestion, falling asleep, thinking, walking, talking & our emotions take place because of 3 dosha’s that are present in our body.

Ayurveda calls them “Tridosha” and they are as follows
1) Vata dosha
2) Pitta dosha
3) Kapha dosha

Why Ayurveda?

                       

Why ayurveda? The answer of this question lies in the question.

Ayu means life, Veda means knowledge.  So the knowledge of leading healthy  life is called Ayurveda. 

We all know how precious human life is and to live a good quality life we need to have healthy body and mind.  Ayurveda astutely describes things one should do to keep our mind and body healthy.

In this modern age our lives have become fast , stressful and filled with all kind of pollutants. By leading this lifestyle we are definitely earning money than ever but at the cost of our valuable health. As Dalai lama once said “He sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health”.

Role of Metals used in Ayurveda Medicines

Ayurveda is our old and invaluable science which our ancestors have been practising to keep their body and mind healthy. 

In today’s fast moving world the seriousness of the  connection of Ayurveda with our day to day life is not widely known due to various reasons one of them being  non passage  of knowledge from generation to generation and one more important reason is misconceptions about Ayurveda as a whole among people of which usage of metal in Ayurvedic medicines is widely know.

Through this article I am looking to clear misconception around ayurvedic medicines made with heavy metals  people are found to have and  would like to share some facts which you may not know.
