UDkt. Vasant Lad ungomunye wochwepheshe abahamba phambili emhlabeni emkhakheni we-Ayurveda. Inkosi yemithi ye-Ayurvedic, imisebenzi yakhe yesayensi nesebenzayo ihlanganisa imithi ye-allopathic (yaseNtshonalanga). UVasant uhlala e-Albuquerque, eNew Mexico, lapho asungula khona i-Ayurveda Institute ngo-1984. Ulwazi lwakhe lwezokwelapha nolwazi lwakhe luhlonishwa emhlabeni wonke, futhi ungumbhali wezincwadi eziningi.
Lapho ngisemncane, ugogo wayegula kakhulu. Sasisondelene kakhulu, futhi ukumbona ekulesi simo kwakunzima kimi. Wayephethwe yi-nephrotic syndrome enomfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye ne-edema. Odokotela basesibhedlela sendawo babengawuzwa ngisho ukushaya kwenhliziyo yakhe, ukuvuvukala kwakunamandla. Ngaleso sikhathi, ayengekho ama-antibiotic anamandla noma imithi yokuhlanza umzimba, futhi sanikezwa iqiniso lokuthi kwakungenakwenzeka ukumsiza. Engafuni ukuyeka, ubaba wabiza udokotela wase-Ayurvedic owabhala incwadi kadokotela. Udokotela wanikeza iziyalezo okwakumelwe ngizilandele ukuze ngilungise isiphuzo. Ngibilise amakhambi angu-7 ngezilinganiso ezithile. Ngokuyisimangaliso, ukuvuvukala kukagogo kwehla ngemva kwamasonto amathathu, umfutho wegazi wakhe wabuyela esimweni esivamile, nokusebenza kwezinso zakhe kwaba ngcono. Ugogo waphila ngokujabula kwaze kwaba yilapho eneminyaka engu-3 ubudala, futhi yena lo dokotela weluleka ubaba ukuba angithumele esikoleni sama-Ayurvedic.
Lutho neze. Umsebenzi oyinhloko we-Ayurveda ukugcinwa nokugcinwa kwezempilo. Kuyozuzisa wonke umuntu, kwenze umuntu abe namandla futhi agcwale amandla. Kulabo asebevele bebhekene nezinkinga zempilo, i-Ayurveda izobuyisela ibhalansi elahlekile futhi ibuyisele impilo enhle ngendlela engokwemvelo.
Ukugaya ukudla kanye ne-Agni (umlilo wokugaya ukudla, ama-enzyme kanye nemetabolism) kudlala indima ebalulekile. Uma i-Agni ibuthakathaka, khona-ke ukudla akugayeki kahle, futhi izinsalela zayo ziguqulwa zibe izinto ezinobuthi. Ubuthi, ku-Ayurveda "ama", buthelela emzimbeni, buthaka amasosha omzimba, okuholela ezifweni ezimbi kakhulu. I-Ayurveda ibheka ukubaluleka okubalulekile ekugayeni ukudla okujwayelekile kanye nokuqedwa kwemfucuza.
Ukuze uqonde ukuthi lokhu noma leso sidingo singokwemvelo, kuyadingeka ukuqonda i-Prakriti-Vikriti yomuntu. Ngamunye wethu unePrakriti eyingqayizivele - i-Vata, i-Pitta noma i-Kapha. Iyafana nekhodi yofuzo - sizalwa nayo. Kodwa-ke, phakathi nokuphila, i-Prakriti ijwayele ukushintsha kuye ngokuthi ukudla, iminyaka, indlela yokuphila, umsebenzi, indawo kanye nezinguquko zonyaka. Izici zangaphandle nezangaphakathi zifaka isandla ekwakhiweni kwesinye isimo somthethosisekelo - i-Vikriti. I-Vikriti ingaholela ekungalinganini nasekuguleni. Umuntu udinga ukwazi umthethosisekelo wakhe wokuqala futhi awugcine usezingeni.
Isibonelo, i-Vata yami ayilingani futhi ngihalela ukudla okubabayo nokunamafutha (okunamafutha). Lesi yisidingo esingokwemvelo, ngoba umzimba ufuna ukubuyisela ibhalansi ye-Vata, eyomile futhi ebanda ngokwemvelo. Uma i-Pitta ivukwe inkanuko, umuntu angase akhangwe ukunambitheka okumnandi nokubabayo, okuthulisa i-dosha evuthayo.
Uma ukungalingani kwe-Vikriti kukhona, umuntu ujwayele "izifiso ezingenampilo". Ake sithi isiguli sineKapha ngokweqile. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-Kapha eqoqiwe izothinta isimiso sezinzwa nobuhlakani bomuntu. Ngenxa yalokho, isiguli se-Kapha esinezimpawu zokukhuluphala ngokweqile, imikhuhlane engapheli kanye nokukhwehlela siyohalela u-ayisikhilimu, iyogathi noshizi. Lezi zifiso zomzimba azizona zemvelo, okuholela ekuqongeleleni okwengeziwe kwamafinyila futhi, ngenxa yalokho, ukungalingani.
Isiphuzo esinamandla yileso esivuselela i-Agni futhi sithuthukise ukugayeka kokudla kanye nokumuncwa kwezakhi. Kunezinhlobo eziningi zokupheka ezinjalo ku-Ayurveda. Kulabo abahlushwa ukukhathala okungapheli, "ukugubha usuku" kuzosiza kahle. Iresiphi ilula: cwilisa izinsuku ezi-3 ezintsha (ezigobile) emanzini, shaya ngengilazi eyodwa yamanzi, engeza i-pinch ye-cardamom ne-ginger. Ingilazi eyodwa yalesi siphuzo izonikeza amandla anempilo. Futhi, isiphuzo se-alimondi sinomsoco kakhulu: cwilisa ama-alimondi angu-10 emanzini, ushaye ku-blender nge-1 ingilazi yobisi noma amanzi. Lezi yiziphuzo ze-sattvic, zemvelo zamandla.
Akunzima ukuqagela ukuthi ukudla okuthathu ngosuku kunconywa yi-Ayurveda mayelana nempilo yokugaya. Isidlo sasekuseni esilula, isidlo sasemini esimnandi kanye nesidlo sakusihlwa esingaminyene kakhulu - ohlelweni lwethu lokugaya ukudla, umthwalo onjalo uyagayeka, kunokudla okungena njalo emahoreni angu-2-3 njalo ngemva kwalokho.
I-Ayurveda ibeka i-asanas ehlukene ngokuhambisana nomthethosisekelo womuntu - uPrakriti noVikriti. Ngakho-ke, abameleli be-Vata-constitution batuswa ikakhulukazi ukuma kwekamela, i-cobra nenkomo. I-Paripurna Navasana, i-Dhanurasana, i-Setu Bandha Sarvangasana ne-Matsyasana izozuzisa abantu bakwa-Pitta. Ngenkathi i-Padmasana, i-Salabhasana, i-Simhasana ne-Tadasana inconywa ku-Kapha. Kwaziwa yibo bonke abenza i-yoga, u-Surya Namaskar, ukubingelela kwelanga, kunemiphumela enenzuzo kuwo womathathu ama-doshas. Iseluleko sami: Imijikelezo engama-25 ye-Surya Namaskar kanye ne-asanas embalwa evumelana ne-dosha yakho.
