 Ayurveda Centre :
Ayurveda is
the name given to the ancient Indian science of healing. It is at least a
couple of millenia old - Some say it was a secret revealed by Brahma, the
Creator Himself, to the sages who lived deep in meditation, in the caves
in the mighty Himalayas. When saddened by the ill health of mankind, he
sought to alleviate their suffering, by revealing Ayurveda to the
World.
A slightly less spiritual, possibly more rational
explanation is that these sages experimented with the only aid they
had-herbs, the perfect a system of medicine which more and more people are
turning to today, as an alternative to allopathic drugs, which though fast
- acting and effective in the short term, are possibly even toxic, made as
they are, from chemicals. These drugs treat the symptoms rather than the
root cause of the ailment itself.
 Ayurvedic physicians believe that
they can promote perfect health of body, mind and soul by administering
drugs and treatments based exclusively on herbs, leaves bark roots and
even stems of certain shrubs. Also included in the list of ingredients
that go into Ayurvedic medicines are spices and occasionally, precious
metals like silver and gold in powdered and purified form. These drugs,
complemented by a strict diet and daily medicated oil massages, have been
known to lead to complete cures, some quite miraculous.
