Ayurveda in daily life
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word derived from two roots which means science of life. It has its roots in the ancient Vedic literature and encompasses all our life, body, mind and spirit. According to Ayurveda, there are seven body types: mono (type kapha, pitta or Vata predominant of any one dosha), dual - either pitta-kapha or vata-pitta otherwise kapha-vata and Equal: in this kind the doshas (the Vata, pitta and kapha)would be in equal proportions. Every individual has a certain connection with these three dosha.
Ayurveda is the only science that tells us how good health and a quality of life is extremely beneficial for living without diseases. As mentioned in the ancient texts of ayurveda there are two types of regime that must be followed. These are: Plan for the Day - it deals with everything that is needed in a daily routine. Ayurveda believes that a person should wake up early in the morning about half an hour before the sun rises and should brush their teeth, take a bath. After that he should worship the supreme power and only then, should have a meal.
It was mentioned that the person must have his dinner before sunset. He should relax and must spend his time with his family. It was also said that what should be the atmosphere of the place where he should have his bed and the direction in which he would sleep. Recent research has shown that these little small factors have a definitive effect, not only on the psyche, but also on the physical aspect of a person.
There is also another issue which is called as saddvritta; this is about the social behavior of a person. This aspect deals with a person’s behavior and his responsibilities towards society where he lives in. Ayurveda teaches us that the way to live in a society which is useful in raising mental state and the activities of people around us.
