5.What is panchamahabuta, or five elements ?

Ayurveda explains, that, matter or substances in this world are made out of five major elements, namely Water, Fire, Air, Vacume and Hardnesswhich are known as panchamahabutha.Matter to exist there has to be Time,Space,Mind and Soul.All these 9 are known as Nithyadravya ,Any substance on this earth, can be categorized into the first five major elements. Similarly human body. Eventhough literally we say Water Fire and Air. In Human Body, it is Phlegm the liquid production, Energy or the Temperature, and the pressure or movement. Vacume which is found in the cell formation and hardness in the structure of the body. Out of these five major elements first three are the major elements which makes the human body healthy or sick. When these three are in balance, the body is in good health and when these are not in balance, the body is sick. When it is in balance, we call it prakurthi and when it is not in balance we call it dosha. Because it is three elements we call it three dosha or in Sanskrit Vata Pitta and Kapha, Vata is Air, Pitta is Fire, and Kapha is Water not the litteral meaning but the way it is in the body as explained earlier.

6.What is the connection of three elements, and nature ?

In nature, we have water in the sea, and in rivers, as long as, they are in equilibrium, there is no danger, but if their proportion goes up or down there is visible danger. Similarly fire ,as long as we can use fire under controlled proportions, we can make use of it in cooking as well as in Industry, but when proportion goes up or down, like in a forest fire it shows a visible danger. Sameway air, when it is in equilibrium we cannot even see it, but when out of proportion we can see the damage it causes.
same process is happening inside our body but in a little differentway.
More phlegm production in the body will make the body sick with common cold, headaches, fever etc; Less phlegm production will cause dehydration and other connected effects. More pressure will cause high blood pressure and connected disorders. low pressure will cause low blood pressure and connected disorders. More energy will cause the body out of control and cholesterol deposits where as less energy will cause anemia and other connected disorders.

7.Can anybody check their body type whether they are Vata Pitta or Kapha by filling a questionnaire in paper ?

Yes !!! anyone can guess, but it may be not very correct, also it is not the correct way, ancient doctors, hold and feel the pulse beat of thousands of patients to understand the difference of the beat, for different body types and ailments. This forecasting can only done correctly, by a very well experienced doctor, This is not something, that, any person can learn from books, it is something, to learn from long practice. So to get a correct pulse diagnose, the doctor has to be well experienced, and need not to have book knowledge on pulse diagnosing. No one can explain the pulse beat in a book. While checking the pulse, an experienced doctor, might ask some questions, from the patient and check eght points in a body,to get a confirmation, for his diagnose. To give a correct pulse diagnose, it is the combination of experience, and the book knowledge of a doctor.

8.Why are some Ayurveda medicines not giving good results even though we buy them paying a lot. ?

Ayurveda Medicines are made out of flowers, barks, roots, fruits and leaves of herbs and plants along with normal soil minerals and natural herbal oils. In some medicines, and oils, many hundreds of rare plant parts, are used, according to ancient secret prescriptions which are preserved from generation to generation, they are mixed proportionately, cured and fermented for many months naturally . There are no laboratories to test these and to have a standadisation. These medicines are coming for many thousands of years by practice from generation to generation as secret medicinal preparations.

But as mentioned earlier with the globalization these secret medicines also has come to the market, in mass scale, using modern machinery, with low quality ingradients. It cannot be controlled.The only way, is the Patients have to select, a doctor, who prepare medicines, under his own supervision. Here also, money is not the controlling factor, Understanding makes things better.there can be the same medicine, under the same name at different prices, in the open market, but they give different effects, because of the above factor.In Ayurveda Villa Ranmenika we show you how your medicines are prepared.

Ayurveda Medicines does not give any side effects, they are all natural products. No chemicals are used in preparing these medicines. Also Ayurveda treats to the cause of the illness and not to the symptom of the illness. For example when someone complains about a headache to the doctor, he might give medicine, to patients stomach, because most headaches are caused from stomach disorders. If he gives medicine to cure the headache it is a temporary measure and symptoms might show up again, until the root is eradicated. This is the theory that Ayurveda doctors use. So if someone takes Ayurveda treatments to cure an illness, mostly doctors cure it for ever, and not temporarily. But in few cases like cancer they cannot cure permanently but they will subpress with medicines that the patient can live more longer than they think.
