Ayurveda

The Science Of Ayurveda: Ayurveda is the ancient science of India. The word 'Ayu' literally means 'life' and "Veda" means 'science' or 'knowledge'. It is a perfect science of life, which explains the knowledge of balancing the human body, mind and Soul, emphasizing that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Believed to be originated from Lord Brahma, Ayurveda is a Branch of Atharva Veda-which is one among the four Vedas or treatises that forms the basis of Indian philosophy, the others being Rig Veda, Yajur Veda and Sama Veda. Apart from a healing science, it is also a perfect science of self-knowledge.

The Philosophy: According to this science everything in this universe including the human body is made up of five~ basic eternal elements or Pancha mahabhootas (Air, ether, fire, water, earth) In Human body these combine together to form three subtle energies or forces that control and govern all the biological, physiological and physio- pathological functions of the body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers for the body in its normal physiological conditions. Hence they are called doshas- the Vata, Pitha and Kapha. Also there is a re-categorization of the morphological structures of the body into seven basic tissues called '"Dhatus" (chyle, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow, Sperm) and eliminative processes from the body takes place in the form of three waste products or malas (sweat, urine, faeces) The representation of solar energy in a living being which is responsible for metabolic activities is called agni. Ayurveda explains that the harmony and balance of the doshas; Dhatus, mala and agni in the body is the primary condition of prime health.
