Ayurveda is a medicine system that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Today in the U.S., Ayurveda is considered a form of alternative medicine, but more and more health practitioners are learning to incorporate this amazing system into their practice.
One of the very basic principles of Ayurveda is that people are not the same. The same way we are all different externally- tall, short, dark skin, light skin, stronger upper body, stronger lower body- we are also different in other physical and mental aspects.
Before an ayurvedic doctor does anything with you, he/she will determine your Dosha, your ayurvedic mind and body type. Different Doshas should eat differently, benefit from different physical activities and should essentially lead different life styles.
Determining your Dosha is one of the best things you can do for your health. And you will be amazed how much sense the advices make. For example, I'm a Pitta. Pittas are passionate and driven, but may be prone to be overstressed. When I was younger I had a real hard time falling asleep and forgetting the problems of the day. Knowing there was a reason for that, I put a lot of effort into learning to meditate and relax, and today the fact that I fall sleep easily and sleep very well, and don't let stress take a toll on me is a major factor that contributes to my health.
