The Zrii Phenomenon: 5,000 Years Of Ayurvedic Principles
November 14, 2007 |
Like many forms of alternative healing, Ayurvedic medicine has recently found a receptive audience in the United States. Author and physician Deepak Chopra popularized many Ayurvedic concepts through his best-selling books, and celebrities such as Ralph Fiennes and Cher have reportedly consulted with Ayurvedic practitioners. Former supermodel Christy Turlington has a skin-care line based on the tradition’s practices.
Although there is little in the way of evidence from Western science to endorse Ayurvedic approaches, practitioners say it would not have survived so many centuries unless it was grounded in timeless truths about the workings of the body and human nature.
Ayurvedic medicine shares similarities with traditional Chinese medicine - both are types of “energy medicine” which teach that the key to good health is a proper balance of energy within the body. They also correlate many human traits to natural elements such as fire, earth, water and air.
Central to Ayurvedic medicine is the concept that there are three governing forces at work inside the body, called doshas. Each corresponds to elements found in nature, and each is present in all of us to varying degrees.
It is when our doshas get out of balance that trouble strikes, and Ayurvedic medicine then uses various means, including diet, behavior changes and body treatments, to pacify an overexpressed dosha.
