Vedic astrology and Ayurveda are beautiful tool for personnalized healthcare.
They share a holistic approach to health and well-being. They view the individual as a complex, interconnected system that is influenced by a variety of factors, including the environment, lifestyle, and mental and emotional state.
Vedic astrology and Ayurveda: complementary and alternative medicines
Vedic astrology and Ayurveda are linked because they both have their origins in the ancient texts of the Vedas. They are considered to be among the oldest and most important scriptures in Hinduism. Both Vedic astrology and Ayurveda are rooted in the concept of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) and their relationship to the human body and the natural world.
According to Ayurveda, each individual is composed of a unique combination of the five elements. These elements are represented by three doshas or biological energies: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. So unique means personalized healthcare.
The three doshas are not just physical elements but also represent psychological and emotional qualities. That’s why they are influencing individual’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For example, Vata is associated with movement and creativity, Pitta with intelligence and leadership, and Kapha with stability and grounding.
Imbalances in these doshas can lead to various physical and mental health issues, and work to restore balance through diet, lifestyle, mind behaviors…and herbal remedies.
As an ayurvedic practitioner, I use various techniques to balance them promoting health and longevity.
Birth chart interpretation for personalized healthcare
Similarly, Vedic astrology views an individual’s astrological chart as a reflection of their unique qualities and potentials, as well as their karmic patterns and life lessons.
The chart is used to better understand the strengths and challenges of each individual. It determines the unique energetic makeup of the individual, including their dosha balance. And it can be used to provide insights into their health, personality, and life path., as well as the opportunities and obstacles you may face in your life, both on health issues and in the different spheres of life. I may recommend specific remedies, such as wearing certain gemstones or performing specific rituals, to balance the energies represented in the chart.
The chart is divided into twelve houses. Each of which represents a different area of life, such as career, relationships, and health…
The Nava Grahas
Planets and stars are also associated with the five elements and the three doshas.
Their placements and their relationship to the houses and the doshas are used to determine the individual’s dosha balance. Planets are influencing your personality, life events, and overall destiny, your health… And this informations can be used to guide diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to promote health and balance.
I use this knowledge to corroborate the ayurvedic constitution and recommend specific remedies and practices. The goal is to balance an individual’s energies and promote well-being.
Vedic astrology shows us which period a health problem can occur. This is a wonderful tool to prevent imbalances or diseases, cure or limit them by ayurvedic or planetary remedies.
Both Vedic astrology and Ayurveda also emphasize the importance of living in harmony with the natural rhythms and cycles of the universe. It is highly recommended to follow a daily routine that is aligned with the cycles of the sun and moon, and use the positions of the planets to determine auspicious times for important life events.
We understand that these sciences are deeply intertwined and complementary practices that offer a holistic understanding of health, well-being, and harmony in all areas of life.
They recognize the existence of the subtle body, which is made up of energy channels (nadis), energy centers (chakras), and life force energy (prana). This understanding provides a framework for understanding the connection between the physical body and the mind, emotions, and spirit
Individual prakriti as a diagnostic tool
For example, if a person’s birth chart shows a predominance of the Vata dosha, they may be prone to anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. I may recommend a Vata-pacifying diet, which includes warm, nourishing foods and spices, as well as lifestyle changes such as practicing calming activities with specific yoga, meditation and pranayama technics.
Similarly, if a person’s birth chart shows a predominance of the Pitta dosha, they may be prone to inflammation, digestive issues, and anger. In this case, I may recommend a Pitta-pacifying diet, which includes cooling, soothing foods and spices, as well as lifestyle changes such as avoiding excessive heat and practicing activities that promote relaxation and balance.
In addition to providing insights into dosha balance and health, the Ayurvedic birth chart can also be used to guide spiritual and personal growth. The placement of the planets and houses can provide insights into the individual’s strengths and weaknesses, and these informations can be used to guide spiritual practices and personal development.
Overall, the Ayurvedic birth chart is a powerful tool for understanding your unique energetic makeup, guiding diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to promote your health and balance in your life. This mean is a real personalized healthcare tool.
