Ayurveda Treatment in INDIA |
Ayurveda is a natural science. A unique line of Indian traditional system of Medicine, 'Ayurveda' is the World's oldest complete medical science, originated nearly 5000 years ago. It is a powerful unfailing system of diagnosis and treatment based on medicines prepared from herbal plants found in abundance in India.
An amalgamation of Science and Philosophy, Ayurveda balances the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components necessary for holistic health. It offers a rich, comprehensive outlook to a healthy life. It is often called the "Mother of All Healing". Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science.
In Sanskrit, Ayurveda stands for "Science of Life". The word 'Ayurveda' comprises of 'Ayur' and 'Veda'. 'Ayur' means 'Life' and 'Veda' means 'Knowledge'. It provides a systematic approach to health that includes a proper diet, exercise and seasonal daily practices that lead to healthy living. Ayurveda is considered divine in origin. It originated from Artharva Veda which is full of references to Health, Disease, Treatments, description of Medicinal plants etc.
Ayurveda is an integrated approach towards presenting an individual a healthy lifestyle with perfect balance and harmony within the human existence, from the most abstract transcendental values to the most concrete physiological expressions, which are based on an intelligent synchronization of the Atma (Soul), Mana (Mind), Indriya (Senses) and Sharira (Body).
Ayurveda includes herbal medicines, massage, oil treatments and body cleansing. The treatments are all-natural, and have no side effects. Moreover, Ayurveda gives lasting effects rather than temporarily relief as it treats the root cause of the illness rather than the symptoms. The aim of the treatment is to improve the vitality and to strengthen the immune system. All ingredients used (herbs, plants and minerals) are found in their natural habitats, and are prepared in non-polluting ways. This ensures there are no negative impacts on the environment.
AYURVEDA - "A gateway to Indian Medical Heritage."
Ayurveda is divided into eight branches, which are collectively called as Ashtang Ayurveda. The eight branches of Ayurvedic science are as follows :
- Kayachikitsa (Internal Medicine)
- Shalya chikitsa (Surgery )
- Bala chikitsa- (Pediatrics)
- Graha chikitsa- Bhoot Vidya (Psychiatry)
- Urdhvanga chikitsa-Treatment of eyes, ears, nose, throat and head
- Damstra chikitsa- agad tantra or (Toxicology)
- Jara chikitsa-Rasayana (Gerentorology)
- Vrishya chikitsa (vajikarana) (Aphrodisiacs)
Ayurveda says that Swasthya (Health) depends upon the balanced condition of the three constituents of the Sharira (body) i.e. (Tridosha, Sapta Dhatu and Malas). These three founders affect the Swasthya (Health) qualitatively and quantitatively. All the Physiological and Pathological processes involve these constituents and are responsible for health and ill health in a person.
Ayurveda strongly emphasizes on Prevention, Promotion, Cure and Rehabilitation. For this, it suggests to follow the principles of health, observation of principles- Dincharya (daily regimen), Rutucharya (Seasonal regimen),Ratricharya (Night routine), Sadvritta and Achar Rasayan (Ethical and Moral activities), Aahar (Food), Nidra (Sleep) and Brahmacharya (Regulated Action).
