Ayurveda, meaning the science of life in Sanskrit, originated in ancient India roughly over 5000 years ago. Initially the sacred knowledge was passed on orally from accomplished masters to deserving students, and later, it was written down.
Ayurveda sees every human life as a unique pattern of energy through a combination of doshas, namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha and advocates a holistic approach for healthy living. Health, according to Ayurveda, is when the 3 doshas are in equilibrium thus maintaining a perfect balance between the mind and the body. Because Ayurveda considers mind,body and consciousness as different aspects of a person, not as three separate elements.
Ayurveda as a viable alternative
In a world where people are increasingly becoming dissatisfied with the big pharma companies and their claims, there is a need for genuinely effective methods of treatment and healing. Which is where Ayurveda, the ancient healing system, comes in to fill the void left behind by the unfulfilled expectations of western medicine.
What are its benefits?
Unlike in Western medicine, where more drugs is the answer if one drug doesn’t work, Ayurveda focuses on healing the patient based on a complete understanding of the patient’s body type, history and dietary issues.
How it can help you?
It can help reduce your dependency on allopathy drugs, focus on what the cause of your condition, suggest an appropriate diet, and over time, even help heal your condition leading to total recovery. It can help you achieve all this with almost no side effects.
