live

我们的体质在出生时就已确定，是我们的原初性质，也就是我们的 "prakriti"。这种 "原初体质 "来自于受孕时精子和卵子中五种元素的特定组合和排列。一旦出生就打上了它的元素烙印，我们就无法改变它，否则就会对我们的健康平衡产生不利影响。

Our body type, which is determined at birth is our constitutional nature, our prakriti. This prakriti is derived from the particular
combinations and permutations of the five elements in the sperm and ovum that exist during conception (ref to the chart below). Once birth has made its elemental imprint, we cannot alter it without adversely affecting our balance of well-being.

肌肉通道

肌肉通道源自韧带、肌腱和皮肤，为全身的肌肉提供营养。这些通道受损的原因包括经常摄入油腻的重口味食物、睡眠过多、饭后睡觉以及久坐不动的生活方式。受损的症状通常是肌肉系统产生的良性肿瘤、扁桃体炎、悬雍垂肿大、痔疮、甲状腺和腺样体肿大。情绪症状是头脑不清醒和神经紧张。

Mamsa (Muscular) ChannelsMuscular channels, which originate in the ligaments, tendons, and skin, supply nutrients to the muscle dhatu (all over the body). Impairment of these channels is due to regular intake of heavy, greasy foods, excessive sleep, sleeping after meals, and sedentary lifestyle. The symptoms of vitiation are usually benign tumors produced by the muscular system, tonsillitis, a swollen uvula, hemorrhoids, and swelling of the thyroid glands and adenoids. The emotional symptoms are lack of mental clarity and nervous tension.

漱口

根据个人体质进行特定的油漱口有益于下颚的力量、声音的深度、面部的光泽和完美的味觉。做这些漱口动作的人不会感到喉咙干燥、嘴唇干裂，他的牙齿不会有蛀牙，根深蒂固，不会牙痛，可以咀嚼最坚硬的东西。

Oral gargles

One who does these gargles never gets dryness of throat, cracking of lips, his teeth will be free from cavities and be deep-rooted, he won’t suffer from toothache and can chew the hardest of things.

头油

在头部涂抹阿育吠陀草药头油(根据个人体质)的人不会出现头痛、秃头和头发变白的情况。头部和前额的力量会特别增强，头发会变得乌黑修长、根深蒂固，感觉器官会正常工作，脸部皮肤会变得光亮，涂抹这种头油会让人睡得香甜、心情愉快。这种头油应在晚上临睡前温热时涂抹。用阿育吠陀草本洗发水清洗头油，能使头发光泽浓密，效果最佳。

This oil should be applied lukewarm, at night before going to bed.The best results for lustrous & thick hair is when the oil is washed with an ayurvedic herbal shampoo.

按摩

每个人都需要定期用草本油进行自我按摩(在沐浴前)，每周至少两次，但偶尔也需要辅以专业护理(阿育吠陀全身油疗)。用油按摩能使皮肤变得柔软;通过减少其冷、干、轻、粗糙和不稳定的特质来控制vata，促进血液循环，促进代谢废物的快速排出，并放松身体。经常进行草药油按摩的人，即使受伤或从事繁重的工作，身体也不会受到太大的伤害。他依然强壮迷人。根据个人体质定期使用适当的油进行阿育吠陀按摩，能让人恢复活力。按照头发生长的正常方向，每周至少按摩头皮和头部两次，如果时间不够，只按摩脚底也可以。

Massage

Necessary for every person, a regular self-massage (before a bath) with herbal oils is necessary at least twice a week but needs to be supplemented with professional attention (ayurvedic oil massage) occasionally. It makes the skin supple; controls vata by reducing its cold, dry, light, rough & erratic qualities, enhances blood circulation, encourages quicker removal of metabolic wastes and relaxes the body. The one who practices oil massage regularly, his body, even if subjected to injuries or strenuous work is not much injured. He remains strong and charming. The ayurvedic oil massage done with proper oil according to ones constitution regularly is highly
rejuvenating. Follow the normal direction of hair growth, massage the scalp and head at least twice weekly and just the soles of your feet if short of time.

运动

无论是像按摩这样的被动运动，还是像有氧运动这样的主动运动，或者像瑜伽姿势那样两者兼而有之;经常运动可以通过促进免疫系统、疏通经络、促进血液循环和废物处理以及消除脂肪来增强身体的耐力和抗病能力。经常做可以减轻焦虑。根据年龄和体质的不同，kapha主导的人可以进行重体力运动，pittas主导的人应适度运动(有氧运动)，vata主导的人应做瑜伽而不是有氧运动。运动量切勿超过自身能力的一半。避免在生病期间、刚吃完饭和没有节奏呼吸的情况下做任何运动。游泳、快步走和慢跑都是很好的选择。

Exercise

Either passive like massage or active like aerobics or both as in yoga postures; regular exercise increases the body's stamina and resistance to disease by facilitating the immune system, clearing all channels, promoting circulation & waste disposal, and destroying fat.

Done regularly, it can reduce anxiety . Depending on age & body type,kaphas can go for heavy exercises, pittas should do it in moderation (aerobics) and vatas should perform yoga and not aerobics. Never exert more than half your capacity. Avoid any kind of exercise during illness, just after a meal and without rhythmic breathing. Swimming, brisk walking and jogging are excellent options.

彻底清洗四肢、面部、口腔、眼睛和鼻子可以净化身体的感觉器官。最好用清水洗澡，同时刷牙(每餐后应重复刷牙)，刮掉舌头上有毒的ama，偶尔用盐水漱口，加一小撮姜黄，以保持牙龈、口腔和喉咙健康。应适当清洁鼻子和耳朵，清洗眼睛。修剪头发，锉平指甲，穿干净的衣服。阿育吠陀鼓励适量使用香水，让自己感觉良好。
