One more aspect of the
theory of Ayurveda is it does not see the mind
separate from the body. It advises to treat the
patient, not the disease. A patient is not the
physical body he inherits but it is a combination of
the physical, mental and spiritual aspects. This is
where the Ayurveda system outsmarts all the other
systems of treatment.
Mind, Body and Senses
We tend to
identify most with our physical bodies; yet, in
actuality, there is more to us then what meets the
eye. We can see that underlying our physical structure
is the mind, which not only controls our thought
processes but helps assist us in carrying out
day-to-day activities such as respiration,
circulation, digestion and elimination. The mind and
the body work in conjunction with one another to
regulate our physiology. In order for the mind to act
appropriately to assist the physical body, we must use
our senses as information gatherers.
We can think
of the mind as a computer and the senses as the data
which gets entered into the computer. Smell and taste
are two important senses that aid in the digestive
process. When the mind registers that a particular
food is entering the gastrointestinal tract, it
directs the body to act accordingly by releasing
various digestive enzymes. However, if we overindulge
the taste buds with too much of a certain taste, such
as sweet, we may find that the ability of the mind to
perceive the sweet taste is impaired; and thereby the
body becomes challenged in its ability to process
sweet foods. Maintaining the clarity of our senses is
an essential part in allowing the mind and body to
integrate their functions and help in keeping us
healthy and happy individuals
