Every individual constitution has its own unique balance of vata, pitta, and kapha (VPK) according to its own nature. This balance of VPK is the natural order. When this doshic balance is disturbed, it creates imbalance, which is disorder.
Health is order; disease is disorder. Within the body there is a constant interaction between order and disorder, thus once one understands the nature and structure of disorder, one can re-establish order. Ayurveda believes that order lies within disorder. Order is the state of health, as defined by Ayurveda Panchakarma.
This exists when the digestive fire (agni) is in a balanced condition; the bodily humors (vata, pitta, and kapha) are in equilibrium, the three waste products (urine, feces, and sweat) are produced and eliminated normally, the seven bodily tissues (rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, asthi, majja and shukra/artava) are functioning normally, and the mind, senses, and consciousness are working harmoniously together.
When the balance of these systems is disturbed, the disease (disorder) process begins.
It’s important to note that Ayurvedic skincare treatments are individualized, taking into account a person’s unique constitution and specific skin concerns. It’s advisable to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist specializing in Ayurveda to receive personalized recommendations and guidance for your skincare routine.
