Ayurved in India
'AYURVEDA' is a Indian System of Medicine. The
word 'Ayurveda' composed from 'Ayur' and 'Veda'. 'Ayur' means 'Life' and 'Veda'
means 'Knowledge'. So Ayurveda means 'Science of Life.
Ayurveda
in Sanskrit means "the science of Life". It is an ancient, unfailing system of diagnosis
and treatment based on medicines prepared from herbal plants found in abundance
in India. Ayurveda is the traditional, natural system of medicine of India, which
has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Ayurveda provides an integrated approach
to the prevention and treatment of illnes. Ayurveda is often called the "Mother
of All Healing". Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing
science.
Ayurveda is a natural science. It teaches an Individual to live naturally by outlining
certain Behavioral, Dietary and Treatment patterns. Ayurveda has been specifically
appreciated for it's holistic approach to man and non-provocative application of
medicine.
Ayurveda has eight specialized branches :
* Kayachikitsa (General Medicine)
* Balchikitsa (Kaumarbhritya)(Paediatrics)
* Grahachikitsa (Psychological medicine)
* Shalakaya Tantra ( Ear, Nose, and Throat disorders and Opthalmology)
* Shalya Tantra (Surgery)
* Agada Tantra (Toxicology)
* Rasayan Tantra (Geriatrics)
* Vajikaran Tantra (Science of Virilification)
Ayurveda believes that Health (Swasthya) depends upon the equibalance condition
of the three founders of the body (Sharira) i.e. (Tridosha, Sapta Dhatu and Malas).
All the Physiological and Pathological processes involve these constituents and
are responsible for health and ill health in a person.
The theory of Tridosha has
been a great discovery. According to it, Vata or Vayu (Air-motion), Pitta (Fire-energy)
and Kapha (Liquid Gel inertia) are the basic biological elements and control all
the functions and activities of the body.
Sapta Dhatus (Seven tissues) support the body and also each of the tissue has a
metabolic capability which helps it to digest the respective food and manufactures
its associated higher tissues. These tissues are Rasa (body fluids-prime element
out of digestion), Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscular tissue), Meda (adipose tissue),
Asthi (bone tissue), Majja (nerve tissue and bone marrow) and Shukra (reproductive
generative tissue).
Malas are the waste products that are emerged in the process like Stool, Urine,
Sweat, Hair, Nail etc.The three constituents affect the Health (Swasthya) qualitatively
and quantitatively.
Panchkarma
means five therapies, the in-house treatment for a healthy body as well as a healthy
mind. The Panchkarma is a curative line of management plan for all diseases, which
are not amenable to palliative management. The five therapies or procedures for
elimination of vitiated doshas from the body are the modes of purification of doshas
and channels.
