Prakriti Analysis is a science-based Ayurvedic methodology that is utilised at Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre (IVAC) to create balance in individuals. Prakriti, which is derived from the Sanskrit word “प्रकृति” meaning “original or natural form or condition of anything, original or primary substance”, is used to analyse an individual’s unique physiological and energetic characteristics.
Through Prakriti Analysis, IVAC doctors are able to develop custom strategies for preventative healthcare and treatment of various conditions. This approach to health focuses on providing individualised guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional support to create a balanced, nourishing lifestyle that supports physical and mental health.
The goal of Prakriti Analysis at IVAC is to provide an individualised approach to wellness, helping restore balance in the body and mind. By taking into account an individual’s unique characteristics, the healthcare professionals at IVAC are able to develop a tailored plan to achieve optimal health specific to each individual’s needs.
Panchakarma, which literally means “five actions,” is a comprehensive system of five treatments that are designed to cleanse the body of toxins and impurities.
Ayurveda states that everyone and everything is composed of three basic types of energy—Vata, Pitta and Kapha—which have no exact English translations.
The origins of Panchakarma can be traced back to ancient India, where it was used as a preventative and curative measure for maintaining optimal health and wellness and one of the line of treatments that our Doctors at Indus Valley specialise in.
The practice is based on the principles of Ayurveda, which states that good health is achieved by maintaining a balance between the body, mind, and spirit. Panchakarma is believed to restore this balance by eliminating toxins and impurities from the body, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to take place.
Vata is responsible for movement, Pitta for digestion/metabolism and Kapha for lubrication and structure.
Though all three qualities are present in every person, one is almost always the primary characteristic, while the other two take secondary and tertiary roles, respectively.
Vata is one of the five basic elements, or “pancha mahabhuta”, in Ayurvedic medicine. It is responsible for all movement, including the movement of nerves, thoughts, and circulation, as well as physical movement. Vata energy is associated with Air and Space elements and is the force responsible for change and transformation, movement and flow. It is said to be the most powerful force out of the five elements and is the source of creativity, enthusiasm and inspiration.
Pitta is the energy of transformation— composed of Fire and Water. It governs metabolism, body temperature, digestion and absorption, nutrition, and skin complexion. In balance, Pitta inspires understanding, intelligence and contentment.
Kapha is the energy of structure and lubrication— composed of Earth and Water. It governs growth, providing the body’s structure and maintaining body resistance. In balance, Kapha brings stability and love.
Imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha can manifest as physical, psychological or spiritual disharmony. The underlying causes may include a poor diet, lifestyle, environment, and inherited tendencies. Restoring balance requires making changes to diet, lifestyle and consciousness. Ayurvedic treatments, such as herbal medicines, massage treatments and yoga, are geared toward restoring the balance of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Imbalance in Vata (Ether & Air) can cause stiff and painful joints, dry skin, restlessness, insomnia, and fatigue. It can manifest as fear and anxiety. Pitta, which is composed of Fire and Water, governs the body’s metabolic system, controlling digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, metabolism, and body temperature. When in balance, Pitta brings about understanding and intelligence.
When out of balance, Pitta arouses anger, hatred, and jealousy, while Kapha, when out of balance, can lead to attachment, greed, and possessiveness. Kapha, formed of Earth and Water, is the energy that forms the body’s structure—bones, muscles, tendons—and provides the particles that hold the cells together, lubricates joints, moisturizes the skin, and maintains immunity. Kapha is expressed as love, calmness, and forgiveness when in balance.
Ayurveda is not just about physical and mental health; it’s also about establishing mindful habits for creating everlasting balance in your life. With Vata, the life force of motion, you can further empower yourself to be motivated and to move forward with purpose. Practising daily routines such as bundling up, staying relaxed, avoiding cold foods or temperatures, having hot meals and seasonings, and getting enough rest are just a few techniques to promote an Ayurvedic lifestyle. As you progress on your journey with Ayurveda, you will learn strategies and daily habits to create balanced well-being that will last long-term.
Unleashing the Benefits of Pitta: Optimizing Your Digestive and Metabolic Processes The ancient Ayurveda’s holistic approach to wellness is key to optimizing our digestive and metabolic processes. According to Ayurveda, the element of Pitta is the catalyst that helps maintain a healthy lifestyle. To help manage and balance Pitta, there are certain things you can do regularly.
First, it is important to avoid extreme temperatures. Your body requires a balanced temperature to function at its best. Too hot or cold will throw off your Pitta and affect your internal equilibrium.
Second, use oil sparingly. Too much oil can create an abundance of Pitta, leading to agitation and irritability. Limit your use of oil to promote a cool and calm internal environment.
Third, reduce the amount of salt in your diet. Too much salt further aggravates Pitta and disrupts energy flow within your body. Opt instead for unrefined sea salts or herbs such as turmeric, cumin, and ginger to add flavour.
Fourth, choose cooling foods to keep your system balanced. Including fruits, grains, and vegetables in your diet helps reduce body heat and maintain a regulated temperature.
Lastly, exercising during the cooler times of the day is also beneficial. The heat generated from strenuous activity can lead to Pitta imbalance – so be sure to keep your exercise routine away from peak hours to promote better balance. Following these guidelines, you can access Ayurveda’s power and unleash Pitta’s benefits for optimal digestive and metabolic processes.
With Kapha, Ayurveda recommends varying your activities when it comes to exercise. Mixing things up prevents stagnation, keeps your body active and vital, and helps you maintain a healthy energy level throughout the day. Focus less on overly demanding activities and instead focus more on calming and energy-boosting activities.
In terms of diet, Ayurveda advises avoiding fatty, oily dishes and instead opting for light, dry food. Dairy products should also be avoided, and try to avoid cold food and beverages since they weaken one’s digestion. If possible, aim to stay active throughout the day, taking short breaks instead of having lengthy naps.
