My Ayurveda diagnosis

Hi Everyone!

Well I am starting day 4 at Manalthheeram  Ayurveda resort.  But before going into my days, I will give you a VERY brief intro to what Ayurveda means.

It is an ancient science of the study of life (has been around for over 5000 yrs).  According to Ayurveda, every living and non-living being in the universe is a combination of earth, water, fire, air and ether. These 5 elements manifest into the body into three categories Vatha, Pitha, and Kapha--which are called Doshas (not to be confused with dosa's..which are tasty crepe like snacks).

The goal of the treatment is to have all of your Dosha's in balance to lead a healthy life both physically, mentally and spiritually.

I was diagnosed mostly Vatha (apparently the cause to my dry hair and skin), with a bit of Pitha.  I was also given a diet of food choices that they suggest I follow.

So last night I ate Vegetable Kofta (mashed veggies/potatoes in a thick creamy sauce), chappatis with butter and cream of tomato soup!!  I don't know about this diet...I have a feeling I am going to end up gaining weight on this plan (hello, didn't they see my thighs)????

Later today I am meeting with an astrologer who has already done my chart.  I had to give him my bday, place and exact time of my birth ugh, I hope that i really was born on 12:18pm (hoping that give or take ten minutes won't change the entire details of my future:-)

And finally, I have included some pics of where I am staying...truly beautiful!

Namaste,

Dayna
