Ayurveda

Ayurveda medicine is the traditional healing art of South Asia. Literally translated the term Ayurveda means “knowledge of life”.

As a holistic medical system, Ayurveda is strongly focused on the individual person. For example, the therapy concept can be very different for two different people with a similar illness. Here the constitution analysis plays an essential role. Working with individually designed treatment plans also essentially distinguishes Ayurveda medicine from other known medical systems. The holistic concept of Ayurvedic medicine shows good clinical results for chronic and functional diseases. This is confirmed by practical experience as well as a wide range of studies.

Dosha functioning principles

How does Ayurveda exactly work?

In order to determine the constitution of the patient, in addition to a comprehensive anamnesis, a detailed clinical examination (including pulse and tongue diagnosis) is necessary.

The patient’s individual characteristics are recorded taking into account a multitude of influencing factors. The determination of the pathology and constitution are mainly diagnosed in the so-called dosha ratios.

These central dosha active principles are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Every person has an individual dosha ratio. If this original Dosha structure is in its harmonious balance, the person is in a healthy general condition.
