Ayurveda
Ayurveda
is the art of healthy living that enables you to create harmony. The origin
of Ayurveda, the science of life, can be traced back to Vedic period. The
Vedas, the first literature of human civilization is reckoned the warp and
weft of Ayurveda, which is believed to have been in practice during the
period of Devas.
To Ayurveda, human body is composed of 'Doshas',
'Dhatu' and 'Mahas. It dictates the social norms that help an individual
maintain spiritual health. 'Rasayana, a branch of Ayurvedic treatment,
enables the diseased' to regain the lost vitality. Ayurvedic treatments are
aimed at keeping an individual in fine fettle. It gives special emphasis on
prevention of disease.
Ayurveda recognizes three main energies
that combine to form all things in the universe. These are recognized as
being fundamental to all life and are seen in the process of growth,
maintenance, and decay. Their actions are named anabolism, metabolism, and
catabolism in the western sciences.
Ayurveda assists one in
identifying the energies in our body. These energies are commonly called
Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Yoga and Ayurveda go together. Ayurveda
and Yoga are all part of the ancient life-disciplines that have been
practiced in India for centuries. They find mention in the scriptures of the
Vedas and Upanishads. Yoga is the science of the union with the Divine, with
Truth; and Ayurveda is the science of life. The purpose of each practice is
to help the individual achieve longevity, rejuvenation and self-realization.
