by Aurora Nicolae

AYURVEDEC system emerged in India with more than 4000 years ago, but the deep knowledge of the human being and life, given to humankind by the wise people who have revealed the science, which according to the traditional texts has divine origin, is perfectly valid today, as it was the other time.
The structure of human being has not changed significantly since then (although for some it may seem surprising) neither did human problems and aspirations. Every age, the mindset has undergone through some changes worldwide, but some elements stayed unchanged, even in this respect.
The aspiration for beauty, for example, is a strong need of human soul now as it was then. However, the thing that a large number of people have forgotten today is the origin of beauty.

Origin of beauty
The Ayurveda reminds us that the true feminine beauty is never confined just to the attractive body shape, but it is a result of the overwhelming harmony of a woman body, soul and spirit.
For every woman there is such a unique harmony that can not be found in the same way at another woman. The more woman is aware of the aspects of her physical body, soul and spirit that she has, which are beautiful and create her uniqueness - the fascinating "I do not know what and do not know how" - the more she will be able to be not only beautiful, but also attractive and charming.
For a woman to be charming it is not enough to have a pretty face, as flawless picture. Only when such a face (and body) well made comes with mystery, sensuality, refinement, gentleness, goodness, power of love, tenderness, or other qualities of the archetypal feminine soul, it makes the woman who is "devoted" to be a truly beautiful and charming woman.
When a feminine look is very beautiful and also presents these features of feminine soul beauty, it becomes simply ravishing. But if a feminine face and body is not universally accepted as beautiful, but it is accompanied by the features of feminine soul beauty, it becomes still beautiful, gets a light that makes physical forms charming, even if it could not have a certain symmetry or perfect harmony.

The three types of feminine beauty
Although every human being is unique in its own way, there are some common traits that define human typologies. In the AYURVEDA system there are described three main human types, called VATA, PITTA and KAPHA. In AYURVEDA system human types are described in a very complex and nuanced way, and knowledge about them offers numerous prospects of implementation in almost all life spheres. For women, one of the easiest practical applications of this typology knowledge is to identify the type of beauty that is specific to every one and which development is most advantageous.
