With its historical roots based in the luminous land of India, Ayurveda is the oldest healthcare system in the world. It mingles the thoughts and knowledge of philosophy and medicine to create a natural course to treat illness of any nature. Numerous Ayurveda therapies and practices have been integrated in the general wellness methods along with medicinal use. The knowledge in Ayurveda texts is said to be first given by gods to sages and then passed onto the human physicians to treat the common people. It is an exclusive and unique branch of medicine with a thorough natural system which depends on the diagnosis of a body.
Ayurvedic medicine is based on the concept of three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha and that an illness originates due to imbalance in the three energies.
Most of the ingredients for the therapy are derived from the nature: – like for plant-based treatment, the extracts are derived from the roots, leaves, fruits, barks or seeds such as cardamom or cinnamon. The products acquired from animals include: milk, bones and gallstones. Consumption of fats and minerals such as sulphur, lead and gold are also prescribed along with external use.
The main agenda of Ayurveda is to help people live a healthy and long life without being dependent on the use of prescribed drugs and medicines, complicated surgical treatments or any long time painful conditions.
Apart from some natural made medicines, Ayurveda include the practice of yoga and meditation which helps a person form a connection with their soul and achieve peace of mind in the running millennia.
