an ancient healing system from India stresses the mind/body relationship in the maintenance of good health. A balance of vital energy, in this case, prana is considered the key. The system is based on balancing three basic life forces or dorshas:
VATA -responsible for all movement in the body.
PITTA - control the digestion and energy production
KAPHA - responsible for the bodys structure and stability
Illness occurs when any of the dorshas is out of sync; Individuals must know their dominant dorsha and follow a diet and lifestyle that keeps it balanced with others.
Be aware, purification to rid the body of toxins is an important part of the treatment. Methods may include sweat baths, enemas, nasal washes, bloodletting and oil massages. The practioner will also recommend a specific diet, meditation or yoga routine and herbal remedies.
