Ayurveda in Poland: what is it characterized by?

What characterizes Ayurveda in Poland? What is the dominant dosha among Poles? How should people in Poland take care of themselves according to Ayurveda? Dr. Saurabh Pardeshi, an Ayurveda expert from Warsaw, talks about it in detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRql9BLOQTE&t=78s Film translation – Ayurveda in Poland Good evening, friends. This is Dr. Saurabh. I run a practice in Warsaw. I came to Poland three years ago and have already helped quite a large number of patients. So let’s first talk about what my teaching and practice is, shall we? First, the science is called Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a branch of one of the world’s largest and oldest healing techniques. It is said to have developed over three thousand years ago. Let’s talk about the basics of Ayurveda. As you can see, the name itself shows the Sanskrit meaning. “Ayur” means life and “veda” means science. The science that deals with all life is called Ayurveda. The foundations of this science are hidden in nature, because nature has five elements – space, air, fire, water and earth.

What are the dominant doshas? So, considering these five elements, our bodies are made up of three basic elements – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Say, for example, if conception were to happen at that moment, the sperm and egg of two people, two parents would unite, this is one of the biggest factors in determining the characteristics of a child. If the concept were to work right now, at this moment, the child would be an air element because it’s winter and it’s very windy outside. If this happened during heavy rain at midnight, the child will have the element of water. Or if it happened in a tropical country like India, the fire-child will have a dominant fire. It also depends on the dominant factor of father and mother. For example, if one person has a dominant constitution of fire, and the mother, a girl, will also be fire, then they will always have the option for the child to be fire as well. So it’s very simple logic. It’s like understanding your blood type. We have different blood groups: A+, B+, AB+. Thus, everyone has their basic constitution called Vata, Pitta or Kapha. This means the element of air, the element of fire and the element of water. Air Type, Fire Type and Water Type. This is the basic theory of Ayurveda. Why should we understand this? Why is it necessary?

The second principle of Ayurveda is what your body is made of, your mind is made of, you must live this life and you must eat this kind of food because food is something that is important – the most important thing that gives you energy . If you eat different types of food that are not suitable for your constitution, you may have an imbalance of the doshas. It’s very simple and serious at the same time, right?

Ayurveda in Poland – the nature of Poland and the dominant dosha

What exactly is the need to introduce this science in Poland? So in other words, let’s talk about Polish Ayurveda. I have always wanted to understand the nature of Poland, the character of Poles. And to be honest, I found it very interesting and I am very happy that I can practice in Poland. Let’s start with the earth, the soil. Polish land is air. We call it the Vata dosha. This means there is a maximum time – in 12 months there are 8 months where we have winter time, right? The rest of the time we have nice weather in the summer, hot. But the maximum of time is the element of air. Therefore, air energy is a more intensively dominant factor in Poland.

Scientifically, we have more people with the element of air than fire or water. This makes a lot of sense. For example, so many people often have cold hands, cold feet, dry skin, dry eyes, dry hair, so it’s nothing but – it’s not a pathological problem, but it’s a completely physiological problem. What exactly is the problem? If you don’t know your constitution – you are fire, water or air – you don’t know what kind of food you should eat and you will eventually unbalance your air, fire or water dosha. Imbalance is the first stage of disease. Then I will give a scientific example.
If air type people eat a lot of beans or chickpeas, they will have a serious joint problem called osteopathy, osteoporosis. Another example is Kapha, water type people – if they eat a lot of gluten, cheese or yogurt, they will have a serious problem with the pancreas. In other words, we call it a sugar imbalance. So you see that your constitution, body type, food and lifestyle are all interconnected. So, my friends, the most important thing – that is, speaking of Polish Ayurveda, we are sitting in the element of air and we must know how to balance this air and our constitution.

Ayurveda in Poland – Ayurvedic herbs and treatments for Poles

If you are born as a fire constitution, there are different types of herbs you can use to balance this air factor. Some of you were born air constitutions, so you will have to take a little more care of yourself to balance the air, because what is inside is what is outside. It will always multiply, simple mathematics. So there are different types of Ayurvedic-cures, that we practice, such as yoga or meditation, the different types of herbs that we practice to understand our constitution and use this knowledge in our daily lives to prevent various types of diseases. So that’s it for today – it will be more interesting, but I would like to share with you this simple experience of my life for now. I am in Warsaw for at least another year, so I cordially invite you for consultations. See you soon, bye bye.
