The invention--Ayurvedic Scale--is a machine that physically represents or
models the philosophical essence of the ancient science and philosophy of
Ayurveda in the form of a tri-armed scale. The Ayurvedic Scale's primary
function is to assist users in determining and visually representing their
current spiritual state as well as their underlying Ayurvedic body type,
which are both helpful in evaluating immediate choices using Ayurvedic
philosophy. It also serves to act as a visual model in helping users to
more clearly understand the complexities of Ayurveda, to provide a
physical reminder of Ayurveda's suggested foci in the user's life, and to
act as a decorative model, which reflects the owner's interest in
Ayurveda. The invention is meant to embody two of Ayurveda's core
foci--simplicity and balance.
