What is Ayurveda ?
Ayurveda is the holistic medicine system of India. The origin of Ayurveda dates back to early Vedic period. The treatments were prescribed by sages who had deep knowledge of the human body and its systems. Natural herbal extracts are used for treatment. Medicinal herbs and extracts are used in different proportions as prescribed in the ancient texts to make different oils, pastes, tablets, capsules, tonics etc.

Ayurveda is more popular and relevant even now. More than a mere healing system; it is a science and an art of appropriate living, which helps to achieve longevity. It can guide every individual in the proper choice of diet, living habits and exercise to restore balance in the body, mind and consciousness, thus preventing disease from gaining a foothold in the system.

According to Ayurveda, every human being is a unique phenomenon (manifested by the five basic elements - ether, air, fire, water and earth) of cosmic consciousness. Vata (ether plus air), Pitha (fire plus water) and Kabha (water plus earth) are called the Tridoshas, meaning the three humors or the three organizations of the body, which are also derived from consciousness. The balance of Vata-pitha-kabha is the natural order, thus when this balance is disturbed, it creates disorder. Order is health and disorder is disease. As there is a constant interaction between order and disorder within the body, with a proper understanding of the nature and structure of disorder, one can re-establish order.

Ayurveda has stood the test of time and is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Ayurveda is the alternative solution for today's ailments which have no cure in modern medical science. In today's fast paced world, Ayurveda is your means to vibrant good health!
