The purpose of Ayurveda is to prolong life so that we develop our full potential or purpose for each individual. Provide us with simple tools where daily and seasonal routines are found. How to take care of our health, understanding our dosha or biotype. Physically through appropriate foods, taking care of our digestion or agni. Physical activity routines, self-massage, and the use of herbs. Cultivating good habits. Take care of our mental body through observation or contemplation, adequate nightly rest. Take care of our energetic or luminous body using breath or pranayama and regular meditation. Maintaining a healthy life, longevity, and prevention. As a last resort, curing diseases. When the previous steps were not taken.
