Where does Ayurvedic medicine come from?

Nature! Ayurveda remedies are all based on the concept that you can eat your therapies. That is why there is such an emphasis on making sure that the herbs, oils, and other substances come from clean sources so that we don’t create more toxins in the body.

Why is Ayurveda important?

Ayurveda treats the root cause of disease and allopathic methods treat symptoms. Ayurveda goes after the root cause which will have a more longstanding effect.

Ayurveda allows you to take the reins of your own health. You don’t have to wait for a prescription or undergo unnecessary tests. For example, if you normally have a pattern of getting a little constipated in fall, then prior to fall you would start eating more warm cooked moderately spiced foods, ingest more healthy oils, take in more water and warm herbal teas, return to a more regular routine, avoid cold & drying foods.

What are the 5 Prana Vayus?

These are the subcategories of the Vata Dosha. Vata is responsible for movement, and each vayu governs a different aspect of movement of prana. Note that prana vayu is different from prana. Prana by itself refers to vital life force energy; prana vayu refers to the movement of prana or vital life force energy into the head and chest areas from the crown.

Vayu – Area of Body – Function
Prana – head, chest – governs intake, respiration, inspiration, forward momentum
Apana – pelvis – governs elimination, downward movement
Samana – navel – governs assimilation, absorption of food and mental impressions, discernment
Udana – throat – governs speech, expression, growth, muscle movement, upward movement
Vyana – heart & whole body – governs circulation from heart to exterior, expansion
