What is Ayurveda? Sahara Rose explains

WellBe Changemakers Episode #14
Ayurveda is based on the idea that our bodies are comprised of the five elements of air, ether (space), earth, fire, and water. Everyone has varying amounts of each, and those combinations are divided into three energy types, or doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha. Rose likens it to your “mind-body type.”
Sahara Rose, the author of “Idiot’s Guide: Ayurveda,” talked to WellBe about the different doshas and their particular nutritional needs, the simple ways to incorporate Ayurveda practices into your day (including tongue scraping, body brushing, and oil pulling), why your dosha actually shifts constantly, why Ayurveda is focused on digestion, the differences between TCM and Ayurveda, why she sometimes disagrees with Ayurvedic traditions, how Ayurveda helps you understand your body, why she likes her naturopath, how to find an Ayurvedic practitioner for your needs, why she loves batch cooking, and why Ayurveda is about your lifestyle and understanding how you’re meant to help others
