You know, Ayurveda is an Indian System of Medicine. So it is a very ancient system, It originated almost 5000 years ago. Ya. 6 00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:17,010 The word meaning Ayurveda is the combination of two words: 'Ayu' is Life and 'Veda' is Knowledge. 7 00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:21,990 So it is the science or knowledge of life. 8 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:35,870 So, then, I define Ayurveda in Sanskrit:'Hita Hitam Sukham Dukham, Ayus Thasya Hita Hitam,Manancha Thacha Yathroktham, Ayurveda Sa Uchyathe' 9 00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:43,370 That means, what all things are good for our body or life, what all things are bad for our life, 10 00:01:43,370 --> 00:02:02,010 then what all things make us happy, what all things make us unhappy, and what are appropriate to us, what are not appropriate to us, that is, inappropriate to us, and the Life-span were explained. that is Ayurveda 11 00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:20,110 So with our life style, our food intake,that can make sometimes good things to us, sometimes bad things to us, sometimes that can make us happy, sometimes unhappy, and that can fix the 'Ayus', that is, the span of life. 12 00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:30,990 Yes, then, Ayurveda gives us instructios how to be healthy and how to be happy, all our life. Yes? Thank you very much. 13 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:43,020 According to Ayurveda,you know, certain principles are there. So According to Ayurveda, every living and non-living organisms are made up of five elements. 14 00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:54,910 They are Air, Space, Fire, Earth and Water. So these five elements, in our body, exist as three Dosas. 15 00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:57,750 They are Vata, Pita and Kapha. 16 00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:18,490 So Vata is responsible for every movements in our body. Pita is responsible for the digestion, temperature regulation, the metabolism and all. And Kapha is responsible for giving structure and shape to our body. So it is the energy part of the body is Kapha. 17 00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:23,020 So the thing we are doing, the mode of treatment here is to balance these Dosas. 18 00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:28,770 Vata, Pita and Kapha. we are balancing these three Dosas. 19 00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:34,210 We are keeping it in equilibrium. Then the body is said to be in a healthy condition. 20 00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:36,450 So balanced. 21 00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:52,020 But if there is an inbalance in these Dosas,if the Dosas are vitiated because of the wrong way of life, life style, eating wrong way, this will vitiate the Dosas and that make the person sick. 22 00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:58,950 So the mode of treatment is to balance the Vata, Pita, Kapha Dosas. 23 00:03:58,950 --> 00:04:12,040 I like to hear it and understand a lot in this topic, but it is also very interesting to observe how these Dosas are different. 24 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,770 in different Dosas. 25 00:04:14,770 --> 00:04:25,870 How is the brain's speciality of the Vata brain, Pita Brain, and the Kapha brain. can you tell something about this. 26 00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:42,110 Vata brain, you know, we have lot of thoughts, we are nervous always, we don't keep quiet, always movements, moving moving, thinking a lot, not sleeping good, all those things are the characteristics of the Vata brain. 27 00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:47,520 In Pita, more emotions, the mood variations. 28 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,970 You know... the.... 29 00:04:50,970 --> 00:05:05,120 In some cases, the mood will be elevated. So sometimes it may be depressed. Mood swings are there; the emotions,that is, crying sad mood and this is related to the Pita Dosa. Pita Brain. 30 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:21,000 And Kapha, you know, always in a gloomy, it is a deep depresion, you can say. That is the Kapha Brain. Ok, Thank you very much.
