Your Ayurvedic Body Type (Dosha Assessment)

According to Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India, no one person is alike. We each have our own physical, emotional, mental and spiritual ways of processing and metabolizing our lives and experiences. In addition, Ayurveda carefully considers the context in which you are living your life.

What season is it, how old are you, what are you eating, how are you exercising, what do your tongue, facial lines, fingernails, sweat, urine and feces tell you about the state of your health? 10,000 years ago these questions were being considered and personalized medical care was the norm. The answers to these questions have a lot to do with your energy level and desire.

Libido was a factor that was closely studied and nurtured in these ancient times because it was commonly known that your level of life vitality was measured by your level of ojas, or essential life energy.Ojas is the life energy extracted from food that has been completely digested. When we have enough of this vital nectar of life we will feel balanced, blissful and full of desire and energy to passionately live a purposeful life.
