Ep.17 Healing the Body and Soul with Ayurveda with Dr. Vijith Sasidhar

In this episode, Dr. Vijith, an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner, shares his journey into this ancient medical system, which was influenced by his mother's support, his own spiritual experiences, and a professor's guidance. He explains the comprehensive Ayurvedic education he received, including studying both Western and classical Ayurvedic texts, and the pivotal moment when he met his Ayurvedic guru, who became his spiritual teacher.

At his center in Kerala, Dr. Vijith treats a wide range of chronic, non-communicable conditions, emphasizing Ayurveda's effectiveness in reversing many of these issues. The podcast delves into the Ayurvedic understanding of disease causation, focusing on the three factors of time, sensory inputs, and one's own actions or karma.

Dr. Vijith discusses the role of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in physiological functions and the importance of comprehensive examination techniques beyond just pulse diagnosis. The discussion also touches on the spiritual and meditative aspects of Ayurvedic practice, including the use of mantras and other practices to address karmic imbalances and achieve mental and spiritual well-being.
