Vata dosha?

[Guest guest]

Pia,

According to Ayurveda, Prakruti (constitution) is of two types -

- Prakruti Prakruti - which is the constitution since birth.

- Vikar Prakruti - which is the constitution of the disease.

When the disease constitution is of vata dosha, anti-vata treatments - medicinal

as well as Panchkarma can get rid of disease and balance the dosha.

When the constitution is vata-dominant since birth, it is said that the person

will have short life. But no statistics to support this observation has been

available in recent times. But if vata people follow nutritious diet to balance

vata and have vata regulating Panchkarma, one is at least assured of healthy

life till he lives.

Ayurveda considers the average life of human as 100 years. By that norm, Alpayu

that is short life should not be anything less than 60-65 years.

Is it true that somebody with prodominance of vata dosha shall have a

short life? Can anything be done about it? If yes,how?

Noel,

Ayurveda has no references to 'kapha mind'. The doshas on mental level are rajas

and tamas; and vata-pitta-kapha are the doshas of physical and physiological

aspect of the body. The two ideas cannot be fused to create a vata mind, pitta

mind or kapha mind.

................You can have a predominantly Vata body and a kapha mind, and

visa versa..............

Dear Dr.D.B.Muzumdar

 

I have always been under the impression that a balanced Vata mind

insinuated a " Sattva " type of thinking at peace; an unbalanced Vata

mind insinuated a scattered type of think…. A balanced Pitta mind is

organized and persevering " Rajas " always change to adapt; were as an

unbalanced Pitta mind is agitated easily, and angry … A balanced

Kapha mind is also at peace and sees deep love but with unbalanced

Kapha or " Tamas " comes mental laziness and greedy…

 

A teacher of mind said it is like a scummy, muddy pond {Tamas} and then

the rain came down and poured into one side of the pond from a creek

{Rajas} and stirred everything up and stared moving it out the other

side and finely the rain stopped and left a clear water pond {Sattva}

… Tamas have to go through Rajas to get to Sattva and I can see the

mind going through this… and Rajas has to go through Sattva to get to

Godhead and I would like to see this…. It Is always good to hear from

you my friend... Noel
