Sudesh Walia
Director/Doctor

Originally from New Delhi, Sudesh moved to Kenya in the 1970s to pursue a career as a grade school teacher, a position from which she promptly rose to School Principle, leading the establishments she headed to National academic achievements. Having taken numerous safaris as a resident of Kenya, her for love travel and connection to nature inspired her to establish her own safari company to which she brought her natural leadership skills and passion for holistic wellness getaways in the Kenyan wilderness. A well-known and respected philanthropic figure, Sudesh Walia lives in Nairobi and advocates community spirit through her active involvement in the local Rotary International Chapter. She is a member of the Rotary Club of Nairobi, the oldest and largest club in the district, where she has served as President (2003-04).

“When it comes to investing, we tend to invest in our business, work, family, friends and almost everybody else. We fail to recognize the importance of investing in ourselves.  A healthy and positive mind lives only in a healthy body. Meditation brings focus to the mind. The concentration improves. All these are paths to a healthy body and mind. Ask: What good shall I be to anyone if I am not good to myself ? I have to do good, to be good, to others which may be with my family, Staff, in Rotary and the Community at large.”

ABOUT AYURVEDA

The objective world of the five elements of Sound, Touch, Vision, Taste and Smell – the five fine elements that give rise to the dense elements of  Space, Air, Fire, Water and the Earth – from which all matter of the physical world is derived. To use Ayurveda in daily life, one has neither to accept nor even understand this philosophy. But it does provide a deeper insight into how Ayurveda works towards betterment of your health: Five dense elements that go into the making of the constitution of each individual, called Prakriti (Nature). Which in turn is determined by the vital balance of the three physical energies: Vata, Pitta, Kapha – and the three mental energies: Satwa, Rajas, Tamas.

According to Ayurveda human body is a constitute of –
*Tri Dosh (Three physical energies)-VATA, PITTA & KAPHA
*Saptadhatu (Body tissue) RASA, RAKTA, MAMSA, MEDA, ASTHI, MAJJA, SUKRA.
*Atma
*Mana
Vata-vayu (Air) + Akash (Space).
Pitta-Agni (Fire).
Kapha-Jala (Water) + Pirthvi (Earth).

Normal function of Tridoshas:

VATA: Energy, respiration, different body movements, maintain the normal movement of body elements, Control act of defecation etc.

PITTA: Vision, Digestion, Maintain the body temperature, Natural urge of Thirst & Hunger, Pigmentation, Complexion, Intelligence etc.

KAPHA: Lubrication, Steadiness, Strength, Patience, etc.
Depending upon the predominance of the dosha prakurti of an individual is determined. Like Vataprakruti, Pittaprakruti and Kaphaprakruti.

Normal function of Spatadhatu (Body tissues):

RASA (plasma) – prinanam – Nourishment
RAKTA (Blood) – Jivanam – Life
MASA (Muscles) – Lepa – Covering
MEDA (Fat) – Snehan – Lubrication
ASTHI (Bones) – Dharana – Hold’s
MAJJA (Bone marrow) – Purane – Feeling.
SUKRA (Sperm) – Garbhadhan – Progenies.

In normal condition Tridosha & Saptadhatus are responsible for the  growth & the proper function of the body. But when they get vitiated  they are responsible for various diseases.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH TOWARDS  DISEASES:

Depending upon the vitiated dosha  or vitiated dhatu’s the approach is different ,like if the vitiation of the dosha is minimal – SHAMAN therapy is adopted & if vitiation is more, then SHODHAN therapy is adopted.

SHAMAN THERAPY: This treatment is done with the help of different herbs, minerals & metals, having no adverse reaction.

SHODHAN i.e PANCHAKARMA THERAPY: With the help of herbal medicine, medicated oils and ghee. Vitiated doshas are eliminated out of the body that are responsible for various diseases. This can be done in healthy individuals as well to maintain the normal Physical & Mental health.

Ayurveda, therefore, is not simply a health care system but a form of lifestyle adopted to maintain perfect balance and harmony within the human existence.

Ayurveda thus offers a unique blend of science and philosophy that balances the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components necessary for holistic health.
