Ayurveda
Ayurveda started more than 5000 years ago. There are glimpses of Ayurvedic
treatments and medicines in various ancient scripts.The word Ayurveda
is derived from two words - Ayu meaning life and Veda meaning knowledge
or science. It literally means knowledge about life.
The formation of living organisms is described in the principles
of Ayurveda.The focus is on obtaining a balance among the Tridhoshas,
i.e. Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. Illness is the result of imbalance
of the Tridhoshas.
Like modern medicine, Ayurveda is also divided into several important
branches of treatment dealing with various human aspects. Each branch
follows various methods for regenerating the equilibrium of body,
mind and soul.
