Ayurveda, which literally means "the science of life", is the natural
healing system used throughout India. Ayurveda was originally known to have
been first developed and established by the great sages who developed
India's original systems of meditation and yoga. The study of Ayurveda
includes herbal medicine, dietetics, body work, surgery, psychology and
spirituality. It not only deals with medical science, but also with the
social, ethical, intellectual, and spiritual life of man. Ayurveda
amalgamates the accuracy of science and the sublimity of philosophy, poetry,
and art. According to Ayurveda, a living creature is composed of soul, mind
and body. It is the compound of these three elements that constitutes the
science of life. These three elements are said to be in a dynamic equilibrium with each other for the maintenance of health. Any imbalance of their relative importance in
the body results in disease and illness.
Ayurvedic practitioners teach patients to understand their unique bodily
constitutions and show them how to use diet, massage, herbs, and lifestyle
adjustments to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.
