Introduction
Ayurveda, the perfect science or knowledge of life is believed to be the oldest treatment method which evolved around 600 BC in India .
The word Ayurveda originated from the two Sanskrit words, 'Ayur'
meaning life and 'Veda' meaning knowledge. Ayurveda practiced by special
physicians called 'Vaidyas' is known to promote positive health,
natural beauty and long life.
Life,
according to Ayurveda, is a combination of senses, mind, body and soul.
The medicinal system believes that human beings and nature should be in
perfect harmony and that disease occurs when the equilibrium between
these two is disrupted. Restoration of this fundamental balance, through
the use of nature and its products is the main goal of this medical
system. The concept is not just on curing bodily ailments but also on
preventing. Ayurveda emphasizes that 'Prevention is better than cure'.
In
Ayurveda, which is basically a humoural medical system, diseases are
understood as an imbalance between the body's three humors, Vata (nerve
energy), Pitta (catabolic fire energy) and Kapha (anabolic nutritive
energy). Natural herbs and minerals are used for preparing medicines.
Apart from herbs, purification and detoxification, dietary changes, body
massages and meditation are used to promote health and prevent and
treat illness. Ayurvedic medicines are rapidly gaining acceptance all
over the world as they have no side effects and is found to have cures
for even rare ailments. Check out the link Ayurveda to know more about
the system.
