TRIDOSHA DISTRIBUTION

Tridoshas are the three humors or forces of the human body, which preserve health when in balance, and develop diseases when out of balance. These three doshas are called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

The doshas assure that all mahabhutas are held together and exert their functions in collaboration for the optimum function of the human body. These are forces or energies that work together to maintain homeostasis.

  • Vata is the energy that holds together Vayu and Akasha mahabhuta.
  • Pitta is the force that holds together Jal and Agni mahabhuta.
  • Kapha is the energy that holds together Jala and Pruthavi mahabhuta.

  1. Vata

Vata makes sure that your body movements take place without any hindrance. This includes absorption, nervous system conduction, cell ion exchange between extracellular and intracellular matter, all types of excretions, breathing, and musculoskeletal functions.

  1. Pitta

Pitta has an equally important function in keeping together two very opposite qualities of fire and water. It’s like an acid, which is liquid in its existential state but burns. Pitta oversees this principle in the body. It brings about conversion, acts as the heat energy, digests food at gross and cellular levels. It transmits warmth, color, and vision to the body.

  1. Kapha

Kapha is the cohesive and lubricating energy that holds together the conflicting elements of Jala and Prithvi. Suppose mixing stone and water. Kapha energy makes the body steady, the structures well held with muscle, ligaments, tendons, and fats. It also develops the protective coverings and fluid shock absorber for joints, brain (CSF), and spinal cord. 

Doshas are further divided into 5 subtypes:

Vata:Prana, udana, Vyana, Samana and Apana.

Pitta:Sadhak, Ranjak, Bhrajak, Pachak and Alochak.

Kapha:Avalmabak, Tarpak, Kledak, Bodhak Shleshak. 

Tridosha Distribution in Your Body

Broadly, Kapha is prominent in the chest, Pitta is dominant around the navel, and Vata below the navel. The organs like chest, heart, thymus (lymphatics), and stomach all are prominent in Kapha dosha. Small intestines, liver, pancreas, and all the intestinal digestive glands are leading in Pitta dosha. The bladder, rectum, uterus, caecum, and sphincters that open downward are all ruled by Vata Dosha.

Tridosha Distribution In A Day

Vata

  • Vata is operating before sunrise, thus it is optimal to wake up at this time of the morning. In this way, the nervous system is active, the brain functions effectively, and is also the accurate time to evacuate bowels and urine.
  • The nervous energy should be channelized for optimistic thoughts and hence, quite deep, and gentle breathing with meditation can do wonders at this time of the diurnal rhythm. This balances the whole system.
  • The time before sunset (in the daytime) indicates plenty of energy to get the day’s work done and put the task to completion.
  • The mind and body are active, innovative, productive, and excited. Communication and socialization are two activities that are finest done during this time.

Kapha

  • Kapha is dominant in the morning and immediately after sunrise. Sleeping in the morning is not advisable, because sleep further develops Kapha and makes the system slow, sluggish, weight loss journey difficult and dulls the senses and mind.
  • Since instantaneously after sunset is when most people adopt to eat, it is preferable to keep the meals light.
  •  Heavy meals generate more Kapha and result in lethargy. It is supposed that exercise in time majorly benefits the body.
  • Making a strategy of the day in the morning and evaluating the day in the evening are best done in the Kapha periods. Kapha periods should be subjective.

Pitta 

  • Pitta is at peak in the noon. It’s the most preferable time to eat. Make lunch the biggest meal of the day.
  • Pitta is also dominant around midnight and people who want to restraint overheating their body system should prevent keeping awake between 10.00 PM and 2.00 AM.
  • One should not eat around midnight, though it is the Pitta period. This Pitta energy is essential for tissue level digestion. Accurately, the liver is most active at this time during the diurnal cycle.
  • To not overload the system, food should never be consumed beyond 10.00 PM.
  • Pitta time during the day is most preferable for eating, organizing, and taking definite action for tough tasks.
  • At night, one should ideally be sleeping quietly for the body’s energy to clear up the toxins and metabolites at the tissue level.

Doshas at the different stages of life    

Kapha is leading at a young age, from birth to adolescence, the body tissues are soft, flexible, and mind contemplative. Best time to learn, and prepare.

Pitta dominates from adolescence to the fifties. The bones now start to ossify (harden) and so does the mental state. One has passion and zest for life.

Vata is perceivably prominent in old age. The body is distressed with musculoskeletal derangement, weakening the perception of sense organs and fatigue.

SHIRODHARA‌ ‌

Shirodhara is a combination of two Sanskrit words, “Shira” meaning head and “Dhara” meaning stream or flow. In this, liquids are poured gently in a stream over the forehead, for a fixed duration of time.

The type of liquids used depend on the type of disease, but they typically include herbal oils and medicated liquids like milk and buttermilk or decoction.

Shirodhara relaxes the mind and helps in eliminating accumulated toxins (ama) from the body by balancing the tridoshas. The calming effect it induces is similar to that induced by meditation.

Alternatively, lukewarm oil, such as Chandan Bala Lakshadi oil, can be used in Pitta disorders. Lukewarm herbal ghee or Saraswat ghee can be used for Shirodhara if the Pitta dosha is accompanied by Vata vitiation.

  • KSHEER  DHARA

BENEFITS OF SHIRODHARA

  • STRESS RELIEVER

Stress is your body’s reaction to emotional and physical alteration that arises from any event or thought that makes you feel angry, frustrated, or nervous.

Shirodhara effectively relieves stress from the mind and body. When medicated liquid is poured over head and it is massaged gently, it brings calmness in body and mind, facilitates relaxation, and promotes tranquillity. The body then enters into a deep state of relaxation, turning on the parasympathetic nervous system mode.

  • ENHANCING SLEEP QUALITY

Today’s fast-paced life surely comes with some level of stress. As a result, people often suffer from lack of sound sleep, insomnia/sleeplessness. Being sleep-deprived is debilitating and leads to exhaustion and lethargy. It brings a negative impact on your emotional and physical well-being.

Shirodhara is very effective in reducing cortisol, which is our body’s primary stress hormone. Hence, it helps in relieving stress and it significantly improves the sleep quality.

  • DEPRESSION

Shirodhara therapy works wonders in treating different types of psychotic problems like depression, restlessness, dementia, etc. due  to the potent anti-stress, anti-depressive and anti-anxiety properties of the herbaloils and decoctions used, the therapy balances the brain chemicals/neurotransmitters and increases the secretion of dopamine which in turn keeps the serotonin level in check and helps to reduce various symptoms of anxiety and depression

  • HYPERTENSION

The Shirodhara treatment induces potent vasodilatory effects on the body. When the oil drops on the center of the forehead, it activates the agnya chakra, which in turn helps dilate the blood vessels and improves blood circulation throughout the body. By improving the blood flow, it not only improves the heart functions but also enhances cardiovascular endurance which therefore brings down the blood pressure to a stable level and hence treats hypertension.

 COGNITIVE ABILITIES

The use of Medhya Rasayana herbs in the Shirodhara oils are filled with neuroprotective elements that relieve the mind from stress and tension and reduces the risk of memory loss and degenerative changes.

HOW DOES SHIRODHARA WORK?

The medicated oils or other liquids when poured on the head and scalp produces a soothing and calming sensation on the nerves and muscles of the head, then this  effect passes via the superficial peripheral nerves of the forehead to the brain. By stimulating the hypothalamus, it regulates the activity of the pituitary gland and therefore treats conditions like insomnia by inducing sleep.

 Shirodhara also stimulates the various vital points in head and improves blood circulation. The warm medicated oils used in this procedure causes vasodilatation and thus improves the blood circulation in the brain.

This therapy brings down the elevated serotonin levels, which is a neurotransmitter and stabilizes our mood, happiness and feelings of well-being. Shirodhara also reduces the level of stress hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. 

The medicated oils or herbal decoctions are sprinkled on the forehead, since this is the only part of the body that has numerous sensitive nerve endings or vital points that are directly connected to the brain. As mentioned in a lot of spiritual texts as well, the centre of the forehead is said to be the ‘third eye, which is connected to the pineal gland via several blood vessels and capillaries.

Yogic culture third eye is called ‘Agnya Chakra’. Focusing on the Agnya chakra with closed eyes  during meditation leads to psychosomatic harmony. As the oil drips on the agnya chakra, it brings a meditation-like effect. The oil infiltrates into the nervous system after drenching the forehead and scalp. The entire procedure makes the mind and body to experience a state of deep rest, similar to the state, a person attains right after meditation

OILS BEST FOR SHIRODHARA

Ksheer bala tailam (a mixture of Bala herb paste, sesame oil, and cow’s milk) is used for Shirodhara.

 Other oils used include Chandanadi tailam, Karpasasthyadi tailam, Narayana tailam and Dhanwantharam tailam.

If above mentioned herbal oils are not available, one can just use sesame oil for the Shirodhara therapy. Sesame oil is rich with antioxidants and active ingredients like sesamin, sesaminol and sesamol, this oil manages the serotonin activity in the brain. It soothes and calms the head but also helps in relieving stressful conditions and induces sleep. Shirodhara oils mixed with nervine herbs are also beneficial for treating people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other nervous system related disorders.

This is partly caused by the high levels of estradiol and progesterone produced by the mother during pregnancy, which stimulates newborn breast tissue. Another situation is due to the increased conversion of steroid hormone precursors to sex steroids. It can stay for several weeks after birth and can cause mild discharge in the breast called “witch’s milk”.
  • Puberty marks the second situation where gynecomastia can occur physiologically. In fact, up to 60 percent of boys have clinically diagnosed gynecomastia by the age of 14. It is mostly bilateral, asymmetrical, and can occur unilaterally. Pubertal gynecomastia usually disappears within 3 years of onset. At an early age, the pituitary gland releases gonadotropins at night and stimulates testicular production of testosterone during the early morning. Estrogens rise throughout the whole day.
  • The third situation in which gynecomastia is frequently seen in older age. Although the exact mechanisms by which this can occur have not been fully identical, evidence shows that it may result from increased peripheral aromatase activity.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Signs and symptoms of gynecomastia include:

  • Swollen breast tissue
  • Breast tenderness
  • Swelling
  • Pain or tenderness
  • Nipple discharge in one or both breasts

CAUSES

Gynecomastia is catalyzed by a decrease in the amount of the testosterone hormone as compared with estrogen. Several things can interfere with the hormone balance, including the following.

Natural hormone changes 

The hormones testosterone and estrogen control sex characteristics in both males and females. Testosterone controls male traits, such as body hairs and muscle mass. Estrogen controls female traits that include the growth of breasts. Most people think of estrogen as a female hormone, but men also produce it is normally small quantities. If male estrogen levels are too high or out of balance with testosterone levels can cause gynecomastia.
