Ayurveda Introduction

Ayurveda. It is a science, which considers the patient as a whole and provides its unequalled methods of making him perfectly healthy. Apart from nature, survival of mankind will become practically impossible within a few decades from now. So in every field of life such a retreat is obvious as to move more towards nature.

Ayurveda: Harmony of Body, mind and soul. Ayurveda is the ancient Indian health science developed through centuries long research works of sages, who were eminent scholars.

As the term "Ayurveda" denotes to the "the knowledge of life" it's not only a system to cure disease but the system teaching us how to achieve "Perfect Health" from diseased or abnormal conditions and hot to lead our life, both physical and mental, to attain the bliss of real life.

Kerala, the land of Ayurveda : Kerala is a small state situated in the southern part of India and this state has a special nature that it won't accept anything as such. If anything new comes, it will sow the seeds in its own soil and cultivate with its own water and air, then will reap the result and that will be used.This happened in the case of ayurveda also. Apart from other parts India, Kerala has a special type of treatment. Though the texts of lessons studied are same, the system of treatment is entirely different and far more effective as well.

Kerala has a soothing climate with natural abundance of forests with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants. In fact, today Kerala is the only state in India, where this system of medicine is practiced with absolute dedication.

Medicine-'You are what you eat' - according to ayurvedic principle. So much emphasis is given to the food habits and life style.Natural herbs are widely used as medicines. In fundamental principles of Ayurveda 5 basic elements are very important. The universe, and anything in the universe is believed to be made of these 5 elements which are air, water, earth, fire and space. Quality and nature of everything varies according to the difference in the proportion of these elements each plant or each mineral exhibits its own physical and chemical characters. This basic principle is made use of in the formulation of medicines in Ayurveda.

Since natural herbs being the main ingredients of the medicines, side effects or ill effects are practically nil. In modern medicine side effects or ill effects of drugs are the most scaring nightmare these days. Powerful chemical, used to cure simple illness usually lead us to more complicated chronic diseases such as stomach ulcers, diabetes, kidney & liver problems, piles etc. This will never happen with ayurvedic drugs because of its tie with nature.
