VATA BALANCE

Abstract

Ayurveda is an age-old science which has not lost its relevance till date. Ayurveda is a term coined by combining ‘ayu’ and ‘veda’ which refers to the science of life. The aim of Ayurveda is to maintain the swasthya (health) of the swastha (healthy) person and to destroy the roga (disease) of the aatura (diseased) individual. This can be explained as eradicating the diseased condition along with maintaining the healthy state of the body. The health of the body depends on the balance between the tridosha (vata, pitta, kapha). Thus, maintaining the dosha in normal limits is essential to stay healthy. Vata balance capsules help to pacify the unnatural levels of vata dosha from the body. Vata balance will be described in detail in the following article.
