This teenager’s guide to Ayurveda isn’t intended to turn you into an Ayurvedic doctor, but rather to provide practical information that can be used to improve your everyday life and health.
First take the Teen Witch Ayurvedic Constitution Test to determine your Ayurvedic constitution. This will help you understand how to apply Ayurveda to your individual life. Please take the test now.
Teen Witch Ayurvedic Constitution Test
Unlike Western medicine’s approach of one pill fits all, Ayurveda takes into account the major different kinds of human constitutions.
Ayurveda has three doshas: vata (wind and space), pitta (fire and water), and kapha (water and earth).
Most humans are a dual type, combining two of the three doshas: vata-pitta, vata-kapha, and pitta-kapha. More rarely, a person is a pure type: vata, pitta, or kapha. Very rarely, a person is equally balanced by all three doshas, called soma or tridosha.
When scoring your results from the Constitution Test, you are a dual type if two doshas are high scores and one dosha is a low score. If only one dosha is a high score, then you are a rare pure dosha constitution. If all three scores are about the same, you might be a very rare tridoshic. If you get a tridoshic result, please take the Constitution Test again in a few days, as it is unlikely to be the correct result.
Ayurveda is a form of natural healing from India. Ayurveda emphasizes healthy living. A saying from ancient Indian Vedic literature says “avert the danger which has not yet come.”
Ayurvedic healers can teach how to purify and detoxify the body through a combination of diet, fasting, cleansing, and exercise.
“Ayurveda, the sister science to Yoga, is one of the oldest natural healing medical systems dating back to 5000 B.C.E. from India. It’s a system of correcting the imbalances in the states of mind, body, and spirit, promoting longevity, clarity and the body’s own immunity.” according to Dr. Ram Tamang of The Healing Gardens of Ayurveda
Some information on Ayurveda healing provided by Dr. Ram Tamang and Sujata Shah of The Healing Gardens of Ayurveda. Dr. Ram and Sujata use the ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda in Costa Mesa, California, and a new location in Hollywood.
