Ayurveda is a truly holistic and integral medical system that treats human beings as a 'whole', which is a combination of body, mind and soul. Ayurvedic treatments in Langwarrin bring the body back into balance for optimum wellness.
Dr Mahesh is one of the very first Ayurvedic Doctors that started practicing in Melbourne.
"AYU" means all aspects of life from conception to death, and "VEDA" means knowledge or learning. It is a way of life that describes the diet, medicine and behaviours that are beneficial or detrimental for your life or lifestyle.
The History of Ayurvedic Services
Ayurveda is one of the oldest (approximately 6,000 years old) scientific medical systems in the world, with a long record of clinical experience. It is one of the great gifts of the Gods of ancient India to mankind. It is not just a system of medicine in the common sense of curing disease; it is also a way of life which teaches us how to maintain and protect our health.
According to the four main vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva), they stated that when the God Brahma created the universe with human life, human beings started to feel sick, not doing all Karmas properly as they were supposed to. So the creator of the universe, Brahma, wrote Ayurveda, which some people call as a fifth veda.
The Rig veda is the foundation stone of the other vedas, being the oldest of the four and contains concepts of Ayurveda. Its three great Gods - Indra, Agni and Soma - related to the three doshas (body type) of Ayurveda - Vata, Pitta or Kapha.
In Atharva, we find references to anatomical and physiological factors, the disease process, treatment of specific diseases and other systematic knowledge about Ayurveda. All the material about the science of life is compiled together in the so called fifth veda, Ayurveda, and all those compilations are called "Samhitas".
Due to invasion of different cultures in ancient India, many of these Samhitas have been lost or burnt, but three main Samhitas are available: Charaka-Medicine Veda, Sushruta-Surgery Veda, and Ashtanga Hridaya-Lifestyle Management.

How to determine your constitution
Select one of the three options below to determine which description fits you best. Make a note to which type your choice belongs. If you feel two or all options fit, jot down each type. If you are unsure about a choice, just leave it. Tally up how many times each type has been chosen. As each person is a combination of all three types, you are likely to have numbers for all three. The type with the highest number is your dominant constitutional type.
The following table can help you identify your body type better-

A Food & Diet Guide for the Three Ayurvedic Types
Our Ayurvedic doctors in Melbourne believe that food should be natural. Cooking, freezing, etc. changes the natural quality of food. How foods can be combined, how much food should be eaten, the environmental history of food growing, seasonal effects on the food, eating habits and manners, how a person's attitude can affect food are all factors to be considered for a proper guide. Buttermilk is very good for any of the body types, balancing all three doshas.
Vata Reducing Diet - VATA, a combination of the elements of ETHER and AIR requires sweet, sour, salty and moistening foods. Avoid eating when stressed, anxious or nervous. Try to develop regular eating habits. Drink milk, spice or herb tea. Avoid dried fruit, apples and melons. Eat sweet fruits, avocado, banana, brown rice or red cabbage.
Pitta Reducing Diet - The element of Pitta is predominantly FIRE. Pitta people benefit from foods that have a cooling effect. Avoid fatty and spicy foods including: sour fruits, peanut butter, oranges, banana, tomatoes or garlic. Don't drink much alcohol. Concentrate on raw fruits and vegetables. Try to eat in an atmosphere of calm and order. Take time when eating. Drink lots of cool water, fruit juices and tea.
Kapha Reducing Diet - As WATER and EARTH are the elements of KAPHA, avoid foods that are sweet, sour and salty. Concentrate on food that is bitter, spicy and tangy. Eat light, warm meals. Avoid overeating, do not eat between meals and do not let emotional disturbances make you eat more. Never sleep after a meal as this will increase weight. Drink as little as possible, especially avoiding cold drinks.
