How Ayurveda works?

The first step in Ayurveda treatment is diagnosis to determine the constitution of the person. That is a unique way by which the patient who is diagnosed first and not the disease. The same disease might appear in different forms in two persons because of their different constitution. Due to this variation in constitution the medicines and treatment may be different for two people for the same illness. This difference in treatment methods according to the constitution is essential to bring back the natural balance of the biological humors. The constitutional approach is the essence of the Ayurvedic system. Understanding the patient’s constitution helps one to lead a life style that is most befitting his constitution, thus optimizing his health and creative potential. According to Ayurvedic system, human body consists of three primary life forces or biological humors, which are Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. These three doshas are called the tridoshas. A balance among these life forces is essential for proper health. Any imbalance among the tridoshas causes a state of unhealthiness or disease.
