Ayurveda, literally means “the science of life” & originated in India as the traditional healing system over 5,000 years ago. Considered one of the oldest forms of medicine, this ancient science works both as preventative & curative medicine, which promotes daily self-care as a means to acquire perfect health.
There are 3 constitutions in Ayurveda: vata dosha, pitta dosha & kapha dosha. These 3 doshas are comprised of the elements: ether, air, fire, water & earth. Everything that is alive has the 5 elements within it & all 3 doshas. However, every living being has its own unique blend of the elements & thus the doshas. The amount of each dosha present within you offers the framework for your life experience.
Doshas may be in or out of balance based on many factors. The time of day, the current season, your stage of life, the daily lifestyle choices that you make, all are constantly affecting the doshas. Ayurveda provides us with helpful self-care practices which allow us to create a harmonious external world that will facilitate healing not only physically but also deep within our beings.
Prakruti is the Ayurvedic constitution, or the doshic state of balance, that you are born with. You came into this life with specific characteristics & tendencies that define you & stay constant throughout your lifetime. This is your prakruti. When you are truly in balance, healthy without any symptoms or disease, you are in the state of prakruti.
A common misconception is that when we attempt to bring ourselves back into alignment, we are trying to equalize vata, pitta & kapha in our mind, body experience. Yet, this is not the goal. Balance means that vata, pitta & kapha are restored to your unique prakrutic state of being.
Vikruti is when you are experiencing an imbalance in your body, mind or emotions. Any imbalance signifies that one or more of your doshas are out of alignment & you are in a current state of vikruti. This state happens when you are experiencing a tiny blemish to a much greater imbalance like chronic cystic acne. Doshic imbalances notify you to make changes in your current state of being in order for your doshas to return home to their ideal state of balance, your prakruti.

I hate putting chemicals in or on my body. Paavani Ayurveda is the first line I’ve ever used that perfectly balances my skin."

"I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE your vata abhyanga oil. I work for MOM’s Organic Market & am an Ayurvedic Health Counselor which just means I’m highly opinionated. It is amazing, smells amazing, feels amazing & comes with a pump. Seriously, you’ve nailed it on all fronts. Thank you for existing!"

"I would like you to know that I LOVE the Vata Mask. I use it as my daily cleanser & never has my skin been more nourished, smooth, & hydrated. I absolutely love this product."

"I have been struggling with cystic acne for most of my teen & adult life & have tried countless products internally & externally. Last month I took the leap of faith & began exclusively using the Paavani Ayurveda Clarify Skin product line. The herbal combinations have very noticeably soothed my skin & I am beyond thankful."
Melissa Schurger
"After extractions, I have been using the Pitta Toner & it has been helping with calming the inflammation as well as working at healing blemishes much faster than they would on their own. I'd say within a day or two the blemish is nearly gone. Just thought I'd give my personal experience with being an esthetician & also working with my own skin. Love Paavani Ayurveda!"
Tylor Marie
"This is the best skincare I’ve ever used. I have rosacea & have struggled for decades with red, inflamed, & rough skin. After a week, my skin is smooth & the inflammation & redness are gone! I’m a super fan now."
