Ayurveda does not specify a particular
time of the day for the daily bath. It specifies a checklist and an order for
things to be done. The optimal time of day varies on the individual and depends
on weather, work, availability of warm water, activities planned after the
bath, meals, travel, puja, visitors, and distance from the bathing water.
While Ayurveda seems unwieldy with its
many options, it follows several constants that allow universal application of
its principles in every situation. The
consistency of Ayurveda is in its prescriptions aligning a person with the laws
of Nature as summarized by the principles of vata, pitta, kapha, ama and agni.
Every prescription is designed to alter imbalances by first analyzing their nature, then by reducing vata, pitta, and kapha based on the gunas of the substances, activities, or natures being added to the body.

III. The Bath
This is incomplete and flawed. Sorry to say the truth
ReplyDeleteRegarding bath, you have included the contraindications of bath, very relevant in the context. Regarding prescription , "sookshmani hi dosha aushasha dooshya desa kala Bala anala ahara rasa satmya satwa prakriti vayasaam avasthaantharaani yanyanuchitamanaani than nihanthyaaturam"
ReplyDeleteEven when the subtlemost variations in any or all these parameters are not considered in prescribing, that will kill the patient ( AS)
Sorry.I meant that you have not touched the science in the post.
ReplyDeleteContraindications of bath are not included you
ReplyDeleteThis book is not for you, Remya. Clearly.
ReplyDeleteIt is for people who want humbly to learn about Ayurveda and how to start using it practically in their own lives. It is not for experts who know everything already...
and certainly it is not for those who take an 11-line excerpt from a 50-page section of a 250-page book, and give judgment that it is "incomplete and flawed."
