Ayurveda is not only a system of medicine but also a way of healthy living. Ayurveda is derived from two words viz., 'Ayur' meaning life and 'veda' meaning knowledge of science i.e. it implies - the "Science of Life"
Ayurveda is based on the principle that the Universe is composed of five basic elements, the Panch Mahabootas, namely: Prithivi(earth), Apya(water), Teja(fire), Vayu(air) and Akash(space). There is a fundamental harmony between the Universe and man, a healthy balance between the microcosm and macrocosm.
Ayurveda believes that the Tridoshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha - in the human body should be in equilibrium which when unbalanced results in a disease. The branch of Ayurveda follows some basic remedial measures along with a dietary plan to be strictly abided by the individual. The five basic Ayurveda Treatments and Medications are:
Panch Karma
Panch Karma is a purifying therapy to enhance the metabolic process through proper diet and herbal medicines. It is used to treat deep-rooted chronic diseases as well as the seasonal imbalance of tridoshas. Literally Panch means five and Karma means action. So, Panch Karma means a series of five types of treatments based on elimination therapy. This treatment has the belief that a soon as the wastes are eliminated from the body, the person becomes healthy.
Herbs and Medicinal Plants
Herbs have been called part of "nature's pharmacy." The herbal remedies are generally more gentle and safe as they are free from side effects. Herbalism uses the whole plant or all parts of the plant, such as the leaves, flowers, fruits, bark and the roots. The conventional element of the medicine is extracted from the herb itself.
 Yoga
Yoga offers a significant variety of proven health benefits. It increases the efficiency of the heart, lowers the respiratory rate, improves fitness, lowers blood pressure, promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety. It also improves coordination, posture, flexibility, range of motion, concentration, sleep and digestion. It is also used as a supplementary therapy for cancer, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, migraine etc., and help to combat addictions such as smoking.
Meditation
Meditation disciplines the mind, which is called the crystallization of mind. The ordinary mind of a common man or woman is most often in a chaotic state. Yoga crystallizes your mind giving it a certain focus. This state takes you towards self-realisation and enables you to read somebody's thoughts. Meditation also reduces blood levels of stress hormones and anxiety; lowers blood pressure and pulse rate; lowers respiration, oxygen consumption, and metabolic rate; lowers abnormally high cholesterol levels; enhances immune system response; increases alpha brain-wave activity, which is active during times of creativity and relaxation and offers relaxation and rejuvenation.
Rejuvenation Therapy
The rasayana or rejuvenation therapy aims at keeping the enzymes in the tissue cells in their normal functional condition. These cells need revitalization and transformation in their composition. The tranquility of the mind, the softness and flexibility of the nerves as well as bones has to be kept sound through meditation. This prevents the process of ageing and makes the individual free from any disease even during an advanced age. |
