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.
