Learn: the Ayurvedic ideas behind AAVIE
Plain-language guides to the traditional concepts your assessment and report use.
The Learn section explains the Ayurvedic ideas behind AAVIE in plain language. Start with the foundations: Prakriti, Vikriti, the doshas, Agni and Ama. Then go deeper into rasa, guna, dhatu and other concepts. Everything here describes a traditional framework, not a diagnosis.
Foundations
Prakriti
Prakriti is the pattern of body and mind you tend to have. Here is what it means and how AAVIE uses it.
FoundationVikriti
Vikriti is how your doshas are right now. It can differ from your natural constitution, and it can change.
FoundationDoshas
Doshas are the three functional energies Ayurveda uses to describe how a body and mind tend to work.
FoundationAgni
Agni is the Ayurvedic idea of your digestive and metabolic fire. It is central to how AAVIE looks at you.
FoundationAma
Ama is an Ayurvedic idea about incompletely processed material. It is a traditional concept, not a lab finding.
FoundationBody intelligence
Your body keeps giving you information. AAVIE’s assessment is built to read it.
