Ayurveda is indeed considered to be the oldest Medical System in the world, dating back to more than 5000 years. It is also true that this form of healthcare is highly personalised. To all the curious readers out there in this internet-verse, this blog intends to break down the process of an Ayurvedic treatment, taking you beyond the buzzword and demystifying the fiction that has engulfed this ancient and highly effective medical system over the past century. To begin with, you need to understand that Ayurveda is not just about fixing the body but rather bringing a state of equilibrium to the mind, body and spirit.
Not to mention, in Ayurveda, eliminating the root of a disease is the primary focus.
Thus, the agenda of an effective, and authentic Ayurvedic treatment is to eradicate the root cause of the problem through natural medicines made from nature's bounty and prepared based on the methodologies mentioned in the ancient texts of Ayurveda, like Charakh, Shushruth Samhitas, books that have never been altered since they were compiled, in the ancient times.
So how does Ayurveda address the root cause of any problem?
You’d be surprised to know that in Ayurveda, the preliminary stage of analysis involves the identification of the imbalance in the Three doshas governing a human body - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These doshas manifest as imbalances inside our bodies and eventually lead to the development of chronic conditions.Every being exhibits the presence of two dominant doshas, thus defining his/her Prakriti or nature. To learn about the tridoshas in depth, you may refer to the blog Get the Best Ayurvedic Treatments In India.
Now let's delve deeper into the personalised approach of Ayurvedic treatments for chronic diseases.
Wellness And Ayurveda: Going Beyond Medicines
In Ayurveda, wellness is described as the absence of disease. When you are disease-free, you are healthy, vibrant, and at ease with yourself and others. When a human being is inflicted with any disease of the mind or the body, that vibrancy dissipates, and that individual will become uncomfortable with him or herself, and perhaps with others as well.
Ayurvedic healing involves customising a treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of an individual. As the first step, during the first consultation, an expert Ayurveda doctor will study the patient’s medical history and also identify the doshic imbalances through Prakriti analysis, to get closer to the identification of the root cause of the disease.
Thereafter, the doctor will create a daily routine commonly referred to as a Dinchariya that will aim to bring the doshas to a balanced state, by addressing the areas where the patient potentially feels out of balance. This may include, dietary regulations, yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic herbs and even Ayurvedic therapies like Panchakarma if need be.
What Is The Relation Between Gut Health & Ayurveda Treatments?
While Prakriti Analysis and understanding a patient's past health record kickstart an Ayurvedic treatment journey, the process just gets more detailed and personalised in due course of time. For instance, as the next step, a certified Ayurveda doctor might want to assess the gut health of the patient because, in Ayurveda, good digestion is one of the keys to good health. When toxins, or Ama, are minimal, your life essence, or Ojas, can flow unimpeded in the circulatory channels of the body. However, if and when Ama is high, and Ojas is impeded, it can very well lead to a host of health issues.
What this means is that when your body and mind are not bothered by accumulated toxins, everything in life flows more smoothly. Ama is caused by low digestive ‘fire’ or Agni, which means your food is not being properly digested, the nutrients are not being assimilated, and waste is not being efficiently eliminated from the body. This undigested food accumulates in the stomach and intestines where it can produce gas, bloating, and other toxins. It can squash the good bacteria, impeding your metabolic and digestive functions. If the body is unable to flush out the toxins naturally by itself, an individual may start feeling sick, or at least get a feeling of malaise. Additionally, the accumulation of Ama can also be caused because of environmental toxins as well as due to mental anguish. Remember, what happens in the body on a physical level, can also affect us mentally and spiritually, and vice versa.
So to summarize our learning about an Ayurvedic treatment thus far, we’ve learnt that it starts with the understanding of a patient’s health history, followed by identification of the doshic imbalances through Prakriti and Nadi (Pulse) analysis. Thereafter, the doctor may choose to investigate the presence of Ama and lack of Ojas by assessing the patient’s gut health through a series of assessments. Let us take a moment to understand what Digestive fire, Agni is and what are its types.
What Is The Significance Of Digestive Fire ‘Agni’ In Ayurveda?
In simplest words, Digestive fire or Agni is the biological fire that enables metabolism inside a human body. This fire is not just limited to digestion but is also responsible for converting matter into energy, assimilating nutrients, eliminating waste, enhancing immunity and strengthening the body. One must understand that Digestive Fire a.k.a Agni is a very critical part of Ayurveda. So much so, that Ayurveda proudly accepts and proclaims that a balanced Agni can very well promote healthy living, while an imbalanced Agni can turn your body into a host of uninvited, unwelcomed health issues of all sorts.
Moving ahead, allow us to educate you about the three categories of Digestive Fire ‘Agni’ in the human body, as per Ayurveda. Do note, that each of these categories of digestive fire has a specific role to play, respectively. Let us touch base on these roles in brief.
→ Digestive Fire #1 - Jatharagni
This is usually the digestive fire that is within the stomach and duodenum, and responsible primarily for the digestion of food.
→ Digestive Fire #2 - Bhutagni
As the name suggests, these are five Agnis corresponding to the five elements of nature, also known as the Pancha Mahabhutas in Ayurveda. Each of these fires is responsible for wreaking down and metabolising respective elements in our food.
→ Digestive Fire #3 - Dhatwagni
These are seven Agnis, present in the seven tissues also known as Dhatus of the human body, responsible solely for tissue metabolism.
