Classical categories

Three areas of traditional practice

Ayurvedic practice is organized into distinct categories, each with its own principles and methods of observation.

Constitutional analysis

Prakriti and Vikriti

Assessment of an individual's constitutional makeup and current imbalances, documented through careful questioning and observation.

Dietetic guidance

Ahara and Vihara

Guidance on diet and daily routine drawn from classical texts, presented as considerations for further study rather than prescriptions.

External therapies

Bahya Chikitsa

Descriptions of external therapeutic approaches such as massage and fomentation, explained with their traditional rationale and documented scope.
