Ayurveda is the oldest surviving comprehensive medical science in the world. The term is derived from its ancient Sanskrit roots - ‘Ayus' which stands for life and ‘Ved' which symbolizes knowledge. Ayurveda offers a rich, comprehensive outlook to a healthy life and its origins go back nearly 5000 years. To when it was expounded and practiced by the same spiritual rishimunis, who laid the foundations of the Vedic civilisation in India, by organising the fundamentals of life into proper systems.
Ayurvedic treatment essentially does not intend to suppress the main symptoms and create some new ones as side effects of the main treatment. The purpose is strengthen your constitution, remove the root cause and give permanent relief.
There are four main approaches to tackling diseases in Ayurveda:
i) shodan, or cleansing
ii) shaman or palliation
iii) rasayana or rejuvenation
iv) satvajaya or mental hygiene.
The treatment mainly comprises of powders, tablets, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Because the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body mostly without creating any side effects. On the other hand, there may infact be some side benefits. Along with medicine, proper diet- rich in natural fibres, exercise and simple living style is also advised. These are imperative along with the medications. Panch Karma therapy is also used as a treatment in many diseases. This "panchkarma" or Five internal cleansing methods,is a most profound therapy in Ayurveda. Yoga teaches a very systematic and scientific way of life which is important to pursue both materially and spiritually.
Therefore, Ayurveda is not simply a health care system but a form of lifestyle adopted to maintain perfect balance and harmony within the human existence, from the most abstract transcendental values to the most concrete physiological expressions. Based on the premise that life represents an intelligent unison of the Atma (Soul), Mana (Mind), Indriya (Senses) and Sharira (Body).
