AYURVEDA ~ to cure your Body, Mind & Soul

Ayurveda is, perhaps, the oldest science of life, a system of diet,
healing and health maintenance that is deeply spiritual in origin. Unlike traditional Western medicine, Ayurveda is not confined to healing of disease in a superficial treatment of symptoms. Instead, it evaluates the complete body mind of the individual.

Ayurveda teaches us to understand our body; our particular nature; and our individual mixture of elements at a deep physical, mental and emotional level. With that knowledge we are able to identify activities conditions, herbs and foods that either keep us healthy and in balance, or make us ill and throw us out of balance.

Ayurveda is a science of life so to
know more about it, we must know what is life. Life, according to Ayurveda, is a combination of
senses, mind, body and soul. It is
clear from this definition of life that Ayurveda is not only limited to body or physical symptoms but also gives a comprehensive knowledge about spiritual, mental and social health..

The entire science of ayurveda is
based on the 'Five Great Elements' (Panchmahabhuta) theory. These five elements are earth (prithvi), water (jal), fire (agni or tejas), air (vayu) and ether or space (akasha). In popular tradition, the universe is understood to be made up of these elements. Ayurveda comprehends body, mind and spirit likewise and has specific methods for working on each. It divides the constitution of people into three humoral categories - Vata (ether/air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water/earth)..

According to the concept of good
management, ayurveda insists that the 'fault' or dosha, the 'tissue' or dhatu and the 'impurity' or mala should be in harmony with each other, with all the components
properly balanced. Any discordant note in this synthesis due to external or internal causes is a cause for concern. These are basically therapeutic measures taken either to prevent diseases or cure them. Thus ayurvedic procedures are done either to detoxify the body or as a prelude to strengthening the immune system. . .

There where many medical systems and medicines available to cure day to day diseases.
HEALTH IS THE REAL WEALTH for all of us. Being healthy is everybodies need.. Its your choice to select what medicine you need to take.. Chose wisely. . .
