WHAT IS AYURVEDA?
Ayurveda is the old Indian system of natural and holistic
medicine. When translating from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of life”
(the Sanskrit word ayur means “longevity of life” and veda means “science”).
Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world's oldest holistic
healing systems. It is aged for more than 3,000 years in India. It is based on
the belief that health and wellness depend on a balance between the mind, body,
and spirit.
On one hand allopathic medicine tends to focus on the
management of disease. On the other hand, Ayurveda provides us with the
knowledge of how to prevent disease. It also provides us with the knowledge of how
to eliminate its root cause if it is occurring.
PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA:
The knowledge of Ayurveda is passed on orally. Later it is
put into text more than five thousand years ago. These texts tell us about how
the five elements found in the cosmic system - earth, water, air, fire, space –
is impacting an individual system.
Ayurveda expounds on the importance of keeping these
elements in balance for a healthy and happy life. According to Ayurveda, each
person is always influencing by certain elements more than others. This is because
of their natural constitution.
Ayurveda categorise the different constitutions into three
doshas:
·
Vata dosha, in which the air and space elements
are dominating.
·
Pitta dosha, in which the fire elements are
dominating.
·
Kapha dosha, in which the earth and water
elements are dominating.
