Ayurveda follows the concept of understanding the doshas in order to heal oneself.
The three ayurvedic body types, or doshas, are Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Each type of dosha has a unique set of characteristics and the body type of a person depends on their physical and emotional attributes.
These treatments seek to heal an illness, which may be achieved by one or more of the following approaches:
Internal measures, including shodhana (detoxification) and shamana (methods used to improve quality of life via palliative care).
External measures, including snehana (oil treatments), svedana (steam therapy using herbal steam), and use of herbal pastes.
Surgical methods, including removal of tissues, organs, and harmful growths
Mental and spiritual therapies, called daivya chikitsa
Herbal measures, including rasa shashtra (the use of various herbal and trace metal formulations)
