| Ayurveda originated around 4000 B.
C. Ayurveda not only treats the affected part but the individual as
a whole. It is propagated by mighty seers like Charaka, susrutha and
Vagbhata in their tireless quest to find the answer to the illness
and unhappiness that tormented human kind. |
| ‘Ayur’ means ‘life’
and ‘veda’ means ‘knowledge’ or wisdom. Along
with treatment Ayurveda stresses on prevention. It is a supreme symphony
of nature and knowledge. It adds value to life by deriving on the
essence of nature. The enthralling world of Ayurveda remains one of
the most antique and mystifying of science.Ayurveda is a way of life.
It is a natural way to refresh, eliminate all toxic imbalances, from
the body and thus regain good health. It is directed at getting rid
of the doshas (illness) and cleaning the body. |
 |
|
| It is directed more at prevention than at cure. Ayurveda
envisages a unique system to strengthen the immune system to achieve good
health and longevity. |
| Beauty as said by Ayurveda
is a result of a radiant inner self ‘Ojus’ (subtle quality of
vigour and vitality.) Ayurvedi massages and therapies bring out the latent
beauty and invigorate one in the traditional Ayurvedic way. Ayurveda maintains
that the mind is also an organ in its own right. The diagnosis and healing
process in ayurveda revolve around the concept of ‘Thridosha’.
Illness is because of the imbalances of the humors(doshas) ; or the three
humors of ‘Vatha’, ‘Pitha’ and ‘kapha’
which correspond to the elements of air, fire and water. A dynamic synchrony
between the three humors endows us with good health, positive mind and soaring
spirit. |
| It not only treats a particular disease but brings
in completed harmony of body and mind. According to Ayurveda when toxic
substance get accumulated in human body, it takes a long time to manifest
as some disease. And in the mean time our body and mind gets some what habituated.
Fasting dieting correction and other treatmemts like herbal massage—according
to Sanskrit text ‘Astnga Hrudaya’ helps cure diseases, removes
harmful substances from the body and restore harmony of the body. Medicines
are patient oriented. |
