Explaining the principles of Ayurveda (Traditional Indian Medicine) in Chinese Hello I want to be able to explain the following concepts in Chinese. If you can help me translate, I will be very grateful. In traditional Indian medicine there are 3 body types. 1) kapha (cold solid) 2) Pitta (hot, wet) 3) Vaata (cold, dry) These 3 body types are made up of the 5 elements, earth, fire, water, air and ether. Depending on what body type you have, you will also be prone to certain illnesses. You should establish a lifestyle and diet that balances your body type. For example, people with a Vaata type, should live in a warm, moist climate, eat hot foods and get plenty of rest. People who have a Pitta body type should avoid the heat, eat cooling foods and try not to get angry or emotional. People with kapha body types, should avoid food and activity that will cause them to gain weight. Kapha is the easiest body type to keep healthy. In reality most people are a combination of body types. Also, these 3 body types are really forces, that exist everywhere in the universe and in nature and influence the seasons, The weather and the nature of physical and chemical phenomena. Today, there are very few people, who understand the science of 'Ayurveda' fully. Although Ayurveda is the world's oldest system of Medicine predating written history, most of the knowledge was systematically destroyed in the last 300 years during colonial occupation of India.
