Ayurveda electronic version

"Ayurveda Electronic Edition" is essentially a collection of tools that digitizes the constitution identification, treatment plan, and follow-up management system of traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine. Currently, mainstream compliance products require official certification from India's AYUSH (Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). They can only be used as a daily health reference and cannot replace the face-to-face diagnosis and treatment of professional doctors.

I first came into contact with this type of tool four years ago when I helped a friend who opened a yoga therapy studio screen suppliers. The most outrageous thing was a 9.9 yuan test that was very popular in a certain red book. After filling in 10 multiple-choice questions such as "Are you afraid of cold or heat?" and "Is the stool formed?", it was directly determined that I had a pure Pitta constitution. A link was sent to me to buy a box of herbal tea worth more than 300 yuan. It said that drinking it for a month would eliminate the acne on my face. At that time, I knew little about Ayurveda. After drinking it for three days, my already cold stomach hurt so much that I asked for leave and went to the hospital. Later, I saw an Ayurveda doctor I knew well and found out that I stayed up late for half a month during that period, which was typical. Breakouts caused by temporary imbalance of Vata, drinking herbal tea is just to make matters worse - that kind of shoddy electronic version does not even include the most basic "dynamic constitution shift" calculation logic, and is essentially a guise to attract traffic and sell goods.

Nowadays, the reliable electronic version is actually very detailed. There is an Indian-certified tool in my mobile phone. There are 47 preliminary screening questions. It not only asks about your daily routine and diet, but also requires you to upload natural light photos of tongue coating and fingernails, and even record your voice for 10 seconds. The final report has more than 20 pages. It will not only mark your innate dominant constitution, but also mark your current 3 For energy imbalance tendencies within a month, the plans given are all daily adjustments that can be implemented: I stayed up all night for a week last month to catch up on a project, and my vata was found to be excessive. The plan I was given was to drink 10ml of warmed ghee on an empty stomach every morning with a small spoonful of dry ginger powder, and use coconut oil to massage the soles of my feet for 5 minutes before going to bed. After persisting for less than half a month, my dry mouth and bitterness in the morning were indeed gone. My best friend, like me, has a Vata-dominated constitution, but she has been constipated all year round. The plan given to her by the same tool was to drink warm flaxseed oil on an empty stomach, and she was specifically marked to avoid raw and cold salads.

There are actually huge differences in this circle about the electronic version. The last time I had dinner with Sister Li, who does traditional Ayurvedic therapy in Yunnan, her resistance to such tools was almost written on her face: A while ago, a customer came to her with an electronic report of a certain Internet celebrity, saying that he had a pure Kapha constitution and needed a full set of phlegm elimination therapy. When she took a pulse, the girl had just been broken up and cried for almost a week. “Ayurveda, passed down from the elders, requires you to feel the pulse rate of your wrist, look at your walking posture, listen to the speed of your speech, and even ask you if you have had a fight with anyone recently. How many questions can test these things? ”

But Sister Zhang, who runs a yoga studio, especially likes to use the electronic version. Most of the members in her studio are office workers who work from 9 to 5, and no one wants to spend two or three hours for a full face-to-face consultation. First, use the certified electronic version to do a preliminary screening, and have a rough adjustment direction, and then match them with corresponding postures and dietary suggestions. The adaptability can reach more than 70%. "It is originally used for daily health care, and it is not to treat serious illnesses. It is better than blindly searching for guides on the Internet and taking supplements, right?" ”Digital Ayurveda brands in Europe and the United States are even more radical. For example, mindbodygreen’s testing tool has now served tens of millions of users. Their logic is: 80% of daily health care needs are as long as the basic data is collected in place and the digital solution covers enough. There is no need for everyone to have to go to a senior doctor for an interview.

In fact, it’s not that complicated to choose a reliable electronic version. First check to see if there is an AYUSH certification mark. If not, just cross it out.； Look at the plans it provides. If you are asked to buy thousands of dollars of exclusive herbs and customized oils at the beginning, they are basically for cutting leeks. Most of the plans given by serious and compliant tools are diet adjustments, work and rest adjustments, and simple oil treatments that can be done at home. They rarely force binding products. If you have underlying diseases, such as gallbladder polyps, high blood pressure, or are preparing for pregnancy or during pregnancy, do not just follow the electronic plan and try it out. You must first consult with a registered Ayurvedic doctor before implementing it.

I saw the official announcement of AYUSH a while ago. They are already working on a unified national Ayurveda digital system. In the future, the information of registered doctors in India will be made available. After you complete the preliminary screening online, you can directly connect with a nearby doctor for an interview if necessary. Digitalization is never meant to replace tradition, but is just to give more ordinary people who have no chance to come into contact with formal Ayurveda a reliable reference. Just like the sleep monitoring APP on your mobile phone, it can tell you whether you snored last night and how long you slept deeply. If you really have insomnia for half a month, you must still see a doctor, right?
