The science of Ayurveda medicine<br />
Pet of the week<br />
If your inner energy<br />
is misdirected, so will<br />
your whole life be.<br />
— C. Astrid Weber<br />
Whether you are a child or<br />
an adult getting to know your<br />
body is not as easy as you<br />
think. It requires that you<br />
set an intention towards the<br />
understanding of why it feels<br />
the way it does-good or bad.<br />
According to the science of<br />
Ayurveda medicine, the five<br />
fundamental elements: space,<br />
water, fire air, and earth also<br />
make up a part of the human<br />
physiology. Ayurveda medicine<br />
also describes three biological<br />
energies called doshas.<br />
The three doshas are: Vata,<br />
Pitta and Kapha and each is<br />
primarily a combination of<br />
two elements.<br />
Vata dosha is made up of<br />
space and air.<br />
Pitta dosha is a combination<br />
of fire and water.<br />
Kapha dosha is made up of<br />
water and earth.<br />
It is the belief of ayurveda<br />
medicine that the doshas<br />
have the ability to coordinate<br />
all the actions that transpire<br />
within us.<br />
The true definition of the<br />
doshas is more complex but in<br />
general when the doshas are<br />
stable they are able to maintain<br />
overall good health in<br />
a person. When unbalanced<br />
they are in a negative state<br />
and that is when problems<br />
occur.<br />
Understanding your dosha<br />
body type can help direct you<br />
toward overall well-being. It<br />
will help you to recognize that<br />
when you react to any given<br />
situation it is because your<br />
body is sending your brain a<br />
signal. Every time your brain<br />
thinks, there is a body action/<br />
reaction or event that responds.<br />
The three doshas regulate<br />
all the functions of the mindbody<br />
system. Vata controls<br />
movement, Pitta controls metabolism<br />
and Kapha controls<br />
structure.<br />
Vata, Pitta, and Kapha<br />
may be described as the fundamental<br />
principals that exist<br />
in the body, but they also<br />
take on a material form in the<br />
blood, bones, stomach, heartbeat<br />
and breathing. Now that<br />
I mentioned that the five elements-<br />
space, air, fire, water<br />
and earth-also exist in the<br />
doshas you can begin to think<br />
deeper. The doshas also have<br />
sub-doshas that sit in other<br />
parts of the body. Sub-doshas<br />
can be situated in the brain,<br />
head, chest, stomach or colon.<br />
There is a vast amount of<br />
information available regarding<br />
the doshas and sub-doshas<br />
and some of it may be confusing.<br />
It is for that reason that<br />
I recommend you read Deepak<br />
Chopra’s book “Perfect Heath”<br />
to fully grasp the information<br />
discussed in this guide.<br />
There are also numerous<br />
surveys and questionnaires<br />
that you can be acquired on<br />
the internet that will assist<br />
you in determining your personal<br />
dosha type. What I have<br />
provided for the reader of this<br />
guide is simply an overview,<br />
but it should be sufficient to<br />
get you started in process.<br />

Two-year-old Milo came from a hoarding situation, came to our<br />
shelter and has been adopted and returned. He enjoys playing,<br />
grooming and cuddling with other cats. When given time to settle<br />
in he also enjoys playing with laser lights, string toys and being<br />
petted. Milo would do best in a home with another cat and with<br />
someone, or someones that would understand that he may need<br />
some time to adjust.<br />
Milo has been neutered and is up to date with shots.<br />
If you are interested in meeting Milo to make him an important<br />
member of your family, you can visit him at the Northeast Animal<br />
Shelter located in Salem. Visiting hours are Monday-Friday 10<br />
a.m. -8 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. You can visit their website<br />
