Ayurvedic electronic version

The electronic version of Ayurveda therapy is essentially a collection of tools that digitizes traditional Ayurveda's physical determination, imbalance conditioning, and daily maintenance systems. It is neither a "health tool that can cure all diseases" spread online, nor a worthless IQ tax. The core value is to provide a low-threshold personalized conditioning reference for ordinary enthusiasts, and professional practitioners can also use it to greatly improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment.

When I was studying with a doctor at a local Ayurveda clinic in Rishikesh three years ago, I hand-copied a thick constitution comparison chart. Every time I judged a client, I had to ask thirty or forty questions, and it took more than half an hour to flip through the chart and calculate the results. Last year, I got the Indian Ayurveda for the first time. When using the electronic tool officially produced by the Central Council of Management (CCRAS), after filling in 30 questions, a complete physical report was generated within 5 minutes. Even the appropriate ratio of essential oils and daily dietary taboos were clearly listed. At the time, I complained to my colleagues that this saves a lot of effort in copying prescriptions.

Interestingly, there is actually quite a bit of controversy over the electronic version in the industry. I know an old doctor in Kerala who has been practicing Ayurveda for 50 years. He still refuses to use a smartphone. Every time he talks about the electronic version, he waves his hand and says, "The beating of the pulse is alive. The color of the tongue coating and the sound of the breath cannot be captured by the screen. Filling out a few forms and prescribing prescriptions is too hasty." This is actually true. Last year, a programmer from 996 asked me to help with insomnia. He said that he bought a 9.9 electronic version of Ayurveda course online. It was found that he had a Vata constitution and needed to drink more hot milk. After drinking it for a week, not only did he not have any relief from insomnia, but he also became extremely bloated. I couldn't even eat, so I read the review he bought. I didn't even have the most basic questions such as "Are you lactose intolerant?"

But to put it another way, there are only a few dozen reliable certified Ayurvedic doctors available in China, and most of them are concentrated in high-end yoga studios or healing centers in first- and second-tier cities. Fans in third- and fourth-tier cities can’t even find anyone who can consult. The formal electronic version can at least help everyone avoid many health care pitfalls. Many of my friends who run yoga studios use CCRAS-certified free assessment tools for their members. People who are found to have Pitta physique will at least not follow the trend on the Internet and drink ginger-date tea to replenish qi and blood every day. Instead, they will know that they need to drink more coconut water and eat less oily and spicy food. This alone can help many people avoid detours.

I also use the electronic version for preliminary screening on a daily basis, but I never fully follow the report and plan. There was a girl from Chengdu who was diagnosed with a typical Pitta constitution. The report said that she should avoid spicy food at all. I smiled when I saw her wrinkled face when she heard this. People who grew up eating hot pot skewers suddenly became depressed if they were not allowed to eat spicy food. There was no need to stick to the rules, so I changed the plan for her. When eating spicy food, drink a small bowl of butter tea, and then drink half a cup of freshly squeezed aloe vera juice after eating. It can still balance the anger. She went back and tried it for two months, and the oral ulcers she often suffered before were reduced a lot.

To be honest, there is indeed a mixed bag of electronic versions on the market now. When choosing, don’t believe the propaganda about “life-long physical fitness determination” and “one course of treatment to cure chronic diseases”. First, check whether it is certified by an authoritative organization, and then check whether the evaluation questions involve your work and rest in the past three months. , diet, physical condition - after all, the three major life energies in Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are inherently changing. Recently, staying up late and working overtime may cause Vata to become imbalanced. If you eat too many nourishing things in autumn, Kapha may be high. How can your body remain unchanged throughout your life?

In fact, whether it is a traditional offline pulse diagnosis or an electronic tool, it is essentially just an auxiliary. The core of Ayurveda is to "perceive your own body." If you want to rely on an electronic report worth tens of dollars to get it done once and for all, it is better to turn off the phone early and have a good sleep.
