Ayurved & Yoga

Dr Kushagra Bendale

What is Ayurved?Ayurved is a comprehensive medical system that is 5,000 years old

It is the system of medicine from which Chinese as well as classical western medicine has arisen

Ayurved means the ‘science of life’ and it is considered the oldest surviving treatment system in the world

Are you a yoga follower?

If you are a Yoga follower it will be very interesting for you to know that Ayurved and Yoga are two sides of the same coin

Ayurved

Ayurved & Yoga both find their roots in Vedas

Ayurved and Yoga both share same goal of finding one’s own self

Yoga is to unite with the universal soul or to connect with your own self and Ayurved is all about knowing the life, the connection

between one’s inner self and the universe

They both understand that human existence is body, mind and soul as a one unit. Not only that but they study the inter-relation between body - mind - soul and try to balance it

Ayurved and Yoga both accept theory of five elements and three doshas

Ayurved and Yoga both describe importance of periodic detoxification and cleaning

Ayurved has Panchkarma while Yoga has its own Dhautikriyas like JalaDhauti, Shankhaprakshalan, Ganesh kriya, etc.

Ayurved accepts

Yoga postures (Yogasana)

Breathing techniques (Pranayama)

and Meditation (Dhyana, Dharana) as supportive treatments

Reference of Yog Science and its importance is in Ayurved textbooks like Charaka Samhita

Yoga is important for dissolving physical stress and calming the mind before meditation, and is central to dinacharya, the ayurvedic routine. It is the ideal ayurvedic exercise, because it rejuvenates the body, improves digestion, and removes stress.

- Charak Samhita Sharirsthan 1

 Telomeres

Scientists proved that length of Telomeres is directly proportional to human’s life span

A recent study conducted in University of California, San Francisco found that people who lowered the level of

stress in their lives through meditation, yoga and breathing exercises had longer telomeres, which have been shown to

contribute to anti-cellular aging.

How Ayurved can help?Yoga practitioners can benefit from the ayurvedic daily routine as part of their Yoga practice

For instance, abhyanga (ayurvedic massage) helps to remove toxins from the body and relaxes the muscles for Yoga practice

Without a foundation in ayurvedic knowledge, Yoga runs the risk of becoming just pure physical exercise

Yoga aims to cleanse the nadis (body channels) with different postures

But doing Yoga without using the ayurvedic principles for removing ‘Ama’ (digestive impurities) is like hopping on one leg
