Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. We can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words: Ayu which means life and Veda which means the knowledge of. Ayur means “longevity” or “life” and veda means “science”. Despite being an ancient system of medicine‚ Ayurveda is as much relevant and essential now as ever before as it banks on bestowing us with the knowledge and awareness of disease prevention and elimination of its root cause rather than disease management.
What is Ayurveda Treatment
Ayurveda believe every person is made of five basic elements found in the universe: space, air, fire, water, and earth.
These combine in the human body to form three life forces or energies, called doshas. They control how your body works. They are Vata dosha (space and air); Pitta dosha (fire and water); and Kapha dosha (water and earth).
Everyone inherits a unique mix of the three doshas. But one is usually stronger than the others. Each one controls a different body function. It’s believed that your chances of getting sick -- and the health issues you develop -- are linked to the balance of your doshas
Ayurvedic treatment consists of a strict and wholesome regimen of:
A) Panchakarma Procedures
B) Suitable Diet
C) Medicines
D) Yoga
It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease. But treatments may be geared toward specific health problems.
