Ayurveda (eye-yur-vay-da) is a Sanskrit word meaning the science of life, the knowledge of how to live in harmony with nature and without disease. It is a practice from India that treats body, mind and soul as a whole to achieve and maintain a balanced state of being. There are three constitutions, called Doshas (Doe-shas), which represent the five fundamental elements that exist in all matter. Kapha (Ka-fa) is earth and water, Pitta (Pit-ta) is fire, and Vata (Va-ta) is air and space. Each individual is born with a unique combination of all three Doshas in varying percentages, called their Prakruti (Pra-kroo-tee). The most common percentage is 60% one Dosha, 30% another, and 10% the third. An individual’s present constitution is called their Vikruti (Ve-kroo-tee). If these two constitutions are not the same, there is imbalance for the individual.
The purpose of Ayurvedic massage is to harmonize the Doshas. This is achieved by using warm oil, usually sesame, infused with a combination of herbs, plus patterns of massage movement that work together to help clear and release imbalance as well as strengthen and rejuvenate the natural flow of energy that enables the individual to return to their Prakruti, the balance of their unique constitution.
