In India, Ayurvedic medicine emphasizes prevention and a holistic approach to life; its underlying basis is spiritual. According to this approach, each person is born with a unique balance of three metabolic principles (doshas), determining body type, temperament, and susceptibility to certain illnesses. Areas of energy concentration in the body (chakras) can become blocked, resulting in illness.
