Ayurveda is a term for ancient Indian medicine that can be translated as “knowledge of life” or “science of life”. It is becoming more and more popular in European countries. There’s nothing to be surprised about since oil massages, as if by magic, bring enormous relief from stress, tiredness and fears.

According to ayurveda each human consists of three types of energies that have influence on our psyche and body:

PITTA

A person with pitta nature is very romantic, passionate and sensual. If she is in a good shape she is self-confident, if not, she tends to be bossy and have mood swings. She feels very bad in tropical climate but has warm feet even during winter. The diseases that most often affect her are: hyperacidity, dermatitis, sleeplessness, anemy. It is important that pitta person had slow, quiet lifestyle.

VATA

A woman with vata dominance is impatient, subtle and sentimental. She learns quickly and forgets quickly. She is very excitable and has irregular lifestyle. Her figure is slim and she gets cold easily, that is why she does not like cold temperatures. The diseases that affect her most often are: headaches, sore throats, high blood pressure, arrythmia, lower back pains. The best advise for her is to eat regularly and have a sleep pattern.

KAPHA

A woman with kapha dominance is calm, patient, well-built. She forgives easily and tends to be very sympathetic. Her home and family are the most important for her, she values good food.
