Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the eternal Vedic science of life, the traditional natural healing system of India. Today, Ayurveda is at the forefront of mind-body medicines. Ayurveda has spread far beyond its traditional base and is gaining attention throughout the world. Ayurveda with its understanding of life and consciousness becomes the medicine of the future.

The written text of Ayurveda dates back to many millennia and the incredibly complex and advanced concepts that embody them still form the basis of various medical systems of today. As a science of life Ayurveda attempts to set out good and bad practices of life by outlining the cause of happy and unhappy life, what is wholesome and unwholesome. It also elaborates guidelines for providing a balance to often hectic and unhealthy lifestyles of the modern world. Ayurvedic medicines are based on the principle that every individual has a unique constitution that relates to his vital energies translated into Ayurvedic nosology as dosha or humors. The equilibrium of these humors depends on a variety of factors. The objective of Ayurveda is to reestablish equilibrium when we are ill and to maintain that equilibrium in order to keep us healthy. Ayurveda explores how to heal our minds on all levels from the subconscious to super conscious along with the role of diet, exercise and many other methods to create wholeness.

Ayurveda mainly comprises eight clinical specialties. They are – General medicine ( Kaaya chikitsa), Pediatrics (Baala cikitsaa), Psychiatry (Bhoota vidya), Treatment of head and neck (S`aalakya tantra), Surgery (S`alya tantra), Toxicology (Agada tantra), Rejuvenation therapy (Rasayana tantra) and Reproductive medicine (Vajeekarana cikitsaa). Rasayana and vajeekarana therapies have special relevance in the modern era. As life has been polluted and distorted in the sphere of our daily existence, every natural blessing is far away from us. The line of treatment proposed as Rasayana finds a favorable viable solution to health problems, especially from a psychosomatic perspective. It cleanses the body totally, regains the active mind to its best possible working level, giving a feeling of rejuvenation. One may easily surrender oneself to the exotic divinity of the treatment. Vajikarana therapy is an important treatment to pull out the latent energy to create a new lineage of life. The medicines of Ayurveda touch strongly to alleviate the existing or possible hindrances whether rooted in the mind or body.
