It is said that all diseases of the mind & body starts in the gut.
Ayurveda supports this with its 6 stage pathway of disease. See a brief overview of the stages below.
1st Stage Accumulation(Sanchaya):
Imbalances in the doshas (vata, pitta, kapha) begin to accumulate in our gut. Symptoms are easily managed at this staged with natural remedies.
2. 2nd Stage Aggravation (Prakopa):
The imbalanced doshas symptoms in the gut increase & are more stubborn to treat.
3. 3rd Stage Spreading (Prasara):
The aggravated doshas start to spread from the gut throughout the body via the circulatory system.
4. 4th Stage Localisation (Sthana Samshraya):
The overflowing doshas then start to localize in weakened organs or tissues, leading to the manifestation of more serious symptoms.
5. 5th Stage Manifestation (Vyakti):
The disease/illness becomes apparent with clear symptoms and pathological changes occurring in the affected areas. This is normally the stage of a diagnosis in Western Medicine.
6. 6th Stage Differentiation or Destruction (Bheda):
If the disease is not properly managed in the earlier stages, it progresses to the final stage, which involves the development of more severe and chronic symptoms, complications, and potentially irreversible tissue/organ damage.
So, as you can see, maintaining good gut health plays a crucial role in optimal health, immunity & well-being long term.
