Vata is the subtle energy associated with movement— composed of Space and Air. It governs breathing, blinking, muscle and tissue movement, pulsation of the heart, and all movements in the cytoplasm and cell membranes. In balance, vata promotes creativity and flexibility. Out of balance, vata produces fear and anxiety.
Pitta expresses as the body’s metabolic system — made up of Fire and Water. It governs digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, metabolism and body temperature. In balance, pitta promotes understanding and intelligence. Out of balance, pitta arouses anger, hatred and jealousy.
Kapha is the energy that forms the body’s structure — bones, muscles, tendons — and provides the “glue” that holds the cells together, formed from Earth and Water. Kapha supplies the water for all bodily parts and systems. It lubricates joints, moisturizes the skin, and maintains immunity. In balance, kapha is expressed as love, calmness and forgiveness. Out of balance, it leads to attachment, greed and envy.
Life presents us with many challenges and opportunities. Although there is much over which we have little control, we do have the power to decide about some things, such as diet and lifestyle. To maintain balance and health, it is important to pay attention to these decisions. Diet and lifestyle appropriate to one’s individual constitution strengthen the body, mind and consciousness.
Ayurveda as a Complementary System of Healing
The basic difference between Ayurveda and Western allopathic medicine is important to understand. Western allopathic medicine currently tends to focus on symptomatology and disease, and primarily uses drugs and surgery to rid the body of pathogens or diseased tissue. Many lives have been saved by this approach. In fact, surgery is encompassed by Ayurveda. However, drugs, because of their toxicity, often weaken the body. Ayurveda does not focus on disease. Rather, Ayurveda maintains that all life must be supported by energy in balance. When there is minimal stress and the flow of energy within a person is balanced, the body’s natural defense systems will be strong and can more easily defend against disease.
It must be emphasized that Ayurveda is not a substitute for Western allopathic medicine. There are many instances when the disease process and acute conditions can best be treated with drugs or surgery. Ayurveda can be used in conjunction with Western medicine to make a person stronger and less likely to be afflicted with disease and/or to rebuild the body after being treated with drugs or surgery.

Very good explanation, easy to understand the way of teaching

Love it, found out a lot I don’t know
By Pankaj Dheer on 5/3/2022
Liked the course. Since I had seen the preview, I knew what to expect. Subtitles can help the students understand better.
By Wendy Sexton on 8/22/2021
I couldn’t understand a SINGLE word from the instructor & there was a LOT of background noise to FRUSTRATE me more. There was MINIMAL closed captions which would’ve made this trainwreck at least tolerable if I could’ve READ ALONG. I’m VERY disappointed & unable to complete course. I will be requesting a full refund.
By Maria Moreno on 8/20/2021
I had trouble understanding the Teacher/Doctor. I had to hear each lesson few times/Screen Shot every plant and search in google the name. The information is very good.
By Ananya B on 8/16/2021
Yes, it was a good match. The basics of ayurveda was covered and explained in simple language. Useful course!

Thanke you for preparing and sharing this course. All good to you, to all. :) :)
By Annette Car on 9/12/2020
It was informative, editing could be smoother, however the information is on point. I did have some side searches to help myself, with the Sanskrit translations and plant names. Other than that it has sparked a healthy curiosity to move forward learning more about Ayurvedic medicine. Thank you
By Christy Konyar on 8/14/2020
A bit hard to understand language but I am catching on. Very informative so far! It would be helpful to have a list of herbs & spices with correct spelling so I get them correct. Thank you
