Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an Indian system of
medical treatment that has evolved
over millenniums. Culled from
ancient Vedic literature and refined
through centuries of painstaking
practice, Ayurveda is the synthesis
of human knowledge about various
physical and mental ailments that
afflict mankind, and the herbal
based preventive/remedial options
available to combat them.
Ayurveda is literally the
combination of two Sanskrit words:
Ayu meaning Life, and Veda meaning
Knowledge. Like every great body of
knowledge, the origin of Ayurveda is
lost in hoary history. For the wise
men who devoted their entire lives
to the study of life sustaining
medicines, Ayurveda was not about
defying death. Rather it was about
prolonging youth and keeping
diseases at bay.
Ayurveda is a living growing body of
knowledge, which promotes positive
health, natural beauty and long
life. What differentiates Ayurveda
from other systems of medicines is
its very approach to treatment.
Taking a holistic view, an Ayurvedic
practitioner treats the patient -
body, mind and soul - rather than
the disease, and aims at restoring
the natural harmony and balance of
the individual. Herbal remedies,
external therapies, diet control,
yoga, meditation and life style
adjustments form part of the
Ayurvedic package.
Ayurveda considers the vitiation of
the Vatha, Pitha and Kapha doshas as
the root cause of all ailments, and
the restoration of their balance as
the only effective treatment. Toxins
accumulate in the body as a result
of various metabolic activities. It
is necessary to eliminate these
toxins from the body in order to
maintain the functioning of its
different systems and to stay
healthy. This elimination is
achieved through a process called
Panchakarma.
