Ayurvedic medicine can work wonders for your overall health


Ayurvedic Medicine is an ancient system based medicine, which was developed by the sages of ancient India. Ayurveda is from the roots “ayur” meaning life and “veda” meaning knowledge. There are several aspects of this system of medicine which distinguish it from other approaches to health care:

Ayurveda focuses on integrating and balancing the body, mind, and spirit, rather than focusing on individual symptoms. This helps in preventing illness and promotes wellness by balancing the three main substances known as Doshas - Vatha, Pitta and Kapha. As per the philosophy of Ayurveda, health problems can result when relationships between these three are out of balance.

Ayurveda, herbs, metals, massage, and other products and techniques are used with the intent of cleansing the body and restoring balance. Some of these products may be harmful when used on their own or when used with conventional medicines. It recognizes the unique constitutional differences of all individuals and therefore recommends different regimens for different types of people. Although two people may appear to have the same outward symptoms, their energetic constitutions may be very different and therefore call for different remedies.

Ayurveda is a complete medical system that recognizes all intelligence and energy flows through an ultimate source known as “Paramatman”. Individual health depends upon the Absolute acting through the laws of Nature. Ayurveda assists Nature by promoting harmony between the individual and Nature by living a life of balance according to its laws.

Ayurveda is mush different from traditional Western Medicine system. Ayurvedic Medicine is non-invasive and focuses on the individual's needs and prevention of the primary cause of the disease. On the other hand, in western system, one has to take prescribed drugs for symptoms that might have a different source results into nothing. That’s why Ayurveda is gaining popularity and have been practiced by millions worldwide.
