Ayurveda |
Ayurveda is the traditional health science
of India. The word 'Ayurveda' means Science of Life (Ayur
means life and Veda means knowledge) which explains the
knowledge of various guidelines to be followed to keep one
healthy. So this is not only a medical system but also a
way of life. This science has a strong basis of Indian Philosophy,
which has been handed down to us by means of ancient scripts
on palm leaves.
Ayurveda has two main aims, which are the preservation of
health in healthy people and curing of diseases in people
with ailments.
Ayurveda instructs and proposes that every living and non-living
being in this Universe is a unique combination of five eternal
elements called Panchamahabhoothas, which are Earth, Water,
Fire, Air and Ether. Human body is also made up of these
elements in various compositions. There are three physiological
temperaments or principles known as Tridosha, by means of
which all the bodily functions of the human body are regulated.
These are Vatha from Air and Ether, Pitha from Fire and
Kapha from Earth and Water. Generally Vatha is the controlling
Dosha, Pitha is the changing Dosha and Kapha is the making
Dosha.
Ayurveda explains other body constituents as Dhatus (tissues),
Malas (waste products), Agni (Energy), Manas (Mind), and
Atma (Soul). When these constituents are in a state of equilibrium
we are said to be Healthy. Changes in this equilibrium will
result in diseases and ailments.Ayurveda explains different
kinds of treatments to preserve the health and to cure diseases
by keeping the equilibrium of human body constituents constant.
