瑜珈和吠陀醫學認為人的三種病苦

瑜珈和吠陀醫學認為人的三種病苦:
It is said in both yoga and ayurveda that there are threee types ofdisorder.
1.自找的痛苦,若濫用身體自然要付出代價
Firstly,there are self-inflicted disorders. If we abuse ourbodies,naturally we have to pay the price for it.These self-inflicted, self-invited diseases are known as adhyatmika-roga.
2.父母遺傳的痛苦
Secondly, congenital diseases, known as adhidaivika-roga, are those thatthe children get on account of their parents.
3.體內五種元素不平衡導致的痛苦,例如:地元素不平衡就有便秘之苦水元素不平衡就有水腫之苦火元素不平衡就有胃灼熱之苦風元素不平衡就有腹脹或關節酸痛之苦乙太元素不平衡就有身體無緣由的脹大,縮小或又恢復正常之苦
Thirdly, there is adhibhautika-roga,which means diseases caused by theimbalance of the five elements in our system.If your earth element is not in a state of balance, you suffer fromconstipation. If your water element is not balanced, you will suffer from disorderssuch as dropsy.If your fire element is not balanced, you will have gastric trouble with aburning sensation in the stomach.If you have a disturbed air element , you feel a bloated sensation in theabdomen,or rheumatism in the joints.If ,all of a sudden,for no apparent cause ,with no rhyme or reason, yourbody swells or shrinks, and then comes back to normal, this is due toimbalance of the ether element.
練習體位法有助於維持五種元素的平衡,可避免第三種痛苦
The practice of asanas helps to maintain the balance of the five elementsand so to avoid the class of diseases known as adhibhautika-roga.
