What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda Treatments and its forms
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word derived from two root syllables, "Ayu" meaning life and "Veda" denoting knowledge. The term "Ayurveda" thus implies complete knowledge or understanding of life. In other words, Ayurveda is the Science of Life. The beauty and exceptional attributes of this age-old science lie in its holistic approach and sense of identification with the universe itself. Ayurvedic medicine - also known as Ayurveda; is one of the world's oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems. It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.
Ayurveda aims at treating diseases and ailments by promoting one’s overall health and well-being. It is not a series of medicines or treatments that just address the symptoms or particular ailments. It is aimed at treating the whole person – the mind, body and spirit. Acharya Susrutha describes a healthy person as “one whose somatic and psychic humors (doshas) are in a state of equilibrium, digestive capacity and digestion are healthy, fundamental tissues (dhatus) are normal, the waste-products (malas) effortlessly eliminated and whose atma (soul), indriya (sense organs) and mana (mind) are blissful.” It is clear hence that Ayurvedic consideration of good health does not stop at mere elimination of an infirmity.
