CFS 23 July, Ayurvedic intervention

Hello All,

Just yesterday though I went for an Ayurvedic appointment. Ayurvedic has been around for 10-15,000 years in India. It deals with 3 major body types called Doshas. The three types are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. I am mostly Vata with a fair bit of Pitta thrown in. Vata's are usually very slim, bony nubs at wrists and ankles that other people just don't have. Deep set yes, and lots more details. You can type Ayurvedic into the google and come up with programs that will help you to determine what you are.

It is suggested that you take the test once with how you remember being while you felt really strong and again with how you may currently be. this helps to show where you are 'out of balance' in your dosha.

I am extremely out of balance from Vata. who can be very scattered and does better with a routine. Who will push to beyond exhaustion and needs to not do so or face the possibility of burn out (like I have).

At the appointment the lady asked me some leading questions and we did general chat. With this she determined what area I wanted to work on most. ENERGY. So, I bought two teas, and she donated the herbal mixture. Already today I feel better after two cups of tea and two doses of the herbal mix. Still it will take time. The idea is to bring the digestion system into alignment. From proper digestion we get proper balance health.

Ronlyn also pointed out that I do not have true CFS. I don't have their problems of the inability to sleep but be exhausted at the same time. CFSers may fall asleep but wake up as they are too exhausted to relax into sleep. Also, I have appetite which a lot of them do not.

So, this looks like a great avenue to trod down for a while.

I will keep letting you know more as I learn more.

be well (it is easier than getting well)

peace
