The ancient sages said: "We have what - what we eat," ie, all naturally occurring products - this is the medication. You only need to learn how to use them correctly. This is how to treat food Ayurveda offers us. Ayurveda - a part of the Vedas, ancient texts, age, according to scientists from the 3 5 to thousands of years. The word Ayurveda is translated from Sanskrit as - "Ayur" - "life" and "veda" - "knowledge". It turns out - "Knowledge of life".
One of the many principles of Vedic knowledge (in Sanskrit - "Desha - feces - patra") - "place - time - a circumstance."That is, this knowledge, used with proper regard will "work" and benefit regardless of age and country. The founders of the various medical schools and institutions skilfully adapted to modern Ayurveda for their conditions: Avicenna - the Arab world, Hippocrates - for Greece, P.Badmaev in Buryatia, the Old Believers in Siberia. Despite the fact that this teaching has come from ancient India, with the right approach, it does not lose its relevance in the Americas and Europe, and Siberia.
Basics of Ayurveda - in person and integrity of the world
Ayurveda - More ancient medicine than modern, it is checked not only time, but also more authoritative. The differences in the methods and approaches of Ayurvedic medicine and modern western can be briefly described as follows:
• Ayurveda suggests integrity of the person with the environment and the integrity of the person - His mind and body- All its organs and systems. In fairness, we note that people prefer traditional western medicine now also talking about the causes of diseases and holistic approach to the patient.
The same can be said about the psychosomatic approach, which takes into account the impact on the physical condition of the person and his emotional consciousness.
• Finally, one of the fundamental principles of the Ayurvedic doctor - individual approach to the patient and his account of life features that define the power, methods of treatment and prevention of diseases.
Diagnostic methods Ayurvedic medicine are more simple. For Example, method "of five mirrors"
- on the skin,
- heart rate diagnosis
- auricles,
- in the eyes
- by language.
Also, for the diagnosis of the patient's birth chart is got. One of the most important conditions of health, Ayurveda considers proper nutrition. Vedic cooking - it's a whole section of an individual approach to solving health problems through the proper organization of human nutrition with the season of the year, a person's age, working conditions, the circadian rhythm, climatic features and etc. The treatment uses natural resources - minerals, plants, aromatherapy, herbal and nutritional therapy.
Fundamentals of Ayurveda on the causes of diseases
According to Ayurveda, and the root cause of most diseases is in the field of psycho-emotional person. Emotional problems - the main cause of many ailments of the body. Therefore, before proceeding to the treatment of the body, it is necessary to cure the mind and emotions. Without the right approach illness will always come back to the body. Negative emotions cause disorders of the neuroendocrine system, which regulates the activity of the whole organism. The most classic example is hypertension. Also, such as:
- liver diseases are associated with emotions like anger,
- stomach ulcer - the result of nervous tension,
- gall bladder - with hatred,
- intestines - nervousness, with panic attacks,
- gall bladder - with hatred,
- the stomach suffers from frequent excitement,
- on the respiratory system - grief, sadness,
- fear is fatal to the kidneys,
- on cardiovascular - a tendency to create conflict situations, resentment.
To deal with emotional problems, Ayurveda offers the following areas:
1. Way philosophy - When a person learns the truth, studying science.
2. By self-control over his mind and senses.
3. By love, followed by most spiritual traditions.
Referring to the importance of nutrition, it is necessary to dwell on such a concept as "race"Which in Sanskrit means"taste".
Ayurveda distinguishes 6 flavors:
• 4 classic - sour, sweet, bitter, salty and
• 2 extra - astringent and pungent.
Each of the flavors associated with certain emotional state can affect his status as a positive and a negative: for example, when an illiterate or abuse.
• Sweet taste gives emotions such as joy, satisfaction, but abuse can manifest a tendency to laziness, unwillingness to solve problems;
• Salty - Often is a tendency to feel pleasure, but excessive use of people will be inclined to hedonism;
• Sour taste stimulates all sorts of activities, but frequent use gives emotions such as resentment and envy;
• Bitter - It gives a sense of mild dissatisfaction, which stimulates to action, tones, but the reverse side - a sense of disappointment;
• Pungency If excessive use can cause anger;
• Astringent taste - A sense of fear.
Depending on whether the emotional state in which there is a person, there is a desire to use products of a particular flavor.
Therefore, we can determine what flavors are useful to a particular person, and what - not.
Three types of human constitution as the basis of Ayurvedic knowledge
In Ayurveda, there are three types of psycho-physiological constitution of man. For each of these types of developed their own food system. In real terms, these types of constitutions are rare. The constitution is defined for the most part by psychoemotional manifestations and anthropometric data. There are two extreme types: people inclined to fullness and people prone to leanness. The first in Sanskrit are called "kapha" (slime), the second - "cotton wool" (wind). The intermediate type is called "pitta" (bile). This terminology was used by Hippocrates himself when he created his doctrine of temperaments - phlegmatic, choleric, etc.
Each of these types has a predisposition to develop certain positive and negative qualities, the propensity to different emotions. For Example,
• People wadding - The type likely to experience fear, nervousness, but generally enthusiastic. They need to limit the bitter, astringent and pungent tastes and more to include in the diet of sour, salty and sweet.
• Representatives pitta - The type often feel hatred, anger, jealousy, but for all that one of the positive features - is hard work. They need to limit the sour, pungent and salty tastes. This does not mean you have to completely give up some foods just need to try to make sure that the diet was balanced in taste ratio.
• Kapha - The type most prone to the development of greed, envy and sloth, but it is capable of devotion and love is quite strong. People of this type, it is desirable not to get sour, salty and sweet, and eat more bitter, pungent and astringent tastes.
Each of these types tend to emergence of specific diseases. For Example,
• Wadding - Diseases of osteoarticular apparatus and nervous disorders,
• Pitt - Disease of the liver, small intestine and gall bladder,
• Kapha- Lung disease.
If the power increases manifestation of this constitution, then there is a predisposition to disease.

What kind of person can be considered quite healthy in terms of Ayurveda? Our understanding of health coincides with the interpretation of modern medicine. According to WHO (World Health Organization) health - a state of mental, physical, spiritual and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.
Ayurveda also believes that if the physical health of a person has a mental, spiritual or social problems - he also is not healthy. Ill and the man that badly adapted to the society, the one who does not know how to control and manage their emotions, who can not answer the question himself: "Why am I here?"
In general, the word "doctor" comes from the Old Russian "lie", then it meant "speak." This specialist, who not only treats, but says his patient teaching. Doctor - a teacher. His task - to direct the patient to the path that will help him get rid of the problem to the man himself went further along this path. Ayurveda in the prevention and treatment of diseases relies primarily on the patient's lifestyle.
Food It must exactly match the individual characteristics of each person, his state of health and age. Also very important is the mode of the day, especially - at lunch or dinner. To regulate the psycho-emotional state needed "Therapy of mind"About three ways that we have already discussed. A man should do his self-realization, Thereby controlling their emotional state.
All people need to understand: health depends on them. Ayurveda in any case not a panacea, it is a pointer to the path. Ayurvedic doctor can tell which mode of the day to lead, how to eat, how to regulate the emotional state, which fitosbory taken for treatment, and the rest - it is the man himself. If it is carried out only what you like, it will not achieve success and will achieve half. Therefore, in any case, it is always responsible for the health lies only in the man.
