Basis For Ayurvedic Philosophy Uniqueness of Individuals Ayurveda: each and every person as unique, with a unique mind-body constitution and a unique set of life circumstances. for ex. natural healing approaches or recommendations for daily living. we each have a unique constitution, there for our health prescription must be unique to us. you need to eat certain foods that are beneficial for your body type and stay away from others. Your exercise program must be personally suitable as well. Even how you relate (connection, relation) to other people Human Body As A Self Correcting Mechanism and Balance The human body is part of nature, as a microcosm of the universe Nature has set us up with all the equipment we need to be perfectly healthy Every day our systems are exposed to literally millions of bacteria, viruses,allergens, even carcinogens(substance that produces cancer), and yet our immune system has the intelligence and skill to deal with all those invaders Every second the body is adjusting for keeping us in homeostatic balance. The body knows its own nature, knows what ideal temperature and the correct chemistry it needs to maintain proper balance. Concept of Tri-Dosha In Ayurvedic philosophy, the five elements combine in pairs to form three dynamic forces or interactions called doshas. Dosha word derived from the root dus, dosha can be regarded as a fault, or a transgression against the cosmic rhythm. Doshas are required for the life to happen. In Ayurveda. Dosha is also known as the governing principles as every living thing in nature is characterized by the dosha.

 How Do We Get Sick? Ayurveda believe that specific disease conditions are symptoms of an underlying imbalance. Our health is up to us when we choose wisely, nature rewards us with health and happiness. When we persistently choose unwisely, nature, in her wisdom, finally makes us sick and gives us a chance to rest and rethink our choices. Like And Unlike Anything that enters our body (microcosm) can exert three possible effects on the organism. It can act as food. This nourishes the organism It can act as medicine. This balances the organism It can act as poison. This disturbs the organism. The five elements may exert one, two, or all three of these effects. The rule that governs the interaction between the environment and the organism is the Law of Like and Unlike. Like increase like. Unlike decreases like.Similarly, thought also enters your microcosm. Thought can be positive or negative and will influence your being. Goods thoughts cheer you up. Bad thoughts will poison you and decrease your good feelings. The Concept of Self Inner dimension of our nature is called “self” in Ayurveda. This is the central point of our being. It is the true inner center of our diversified(variety of character) lives Thought, feelings, speech, action, and relationships all originate here, deep within the personality. This is Similar to the natural process by which all the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruit of a tree can be simultaneously nourished and lively by watering the root.
