Ayurveda, the name derived from - 'Ayus' Life & 'Veda' science, is a form of alternative medicine based on the principle that illness is caused by an disparity of life forces. Derived from the spiritual visions conventional by Indian Rishis (Sanskrit for “seers of truth”) 5000 years ago. It is endorsed to Dhanvantari, the physician to the gods in Hindu mythology, who traditional it from Brahma.

The initial concepts were set out in the portion of the Vedas known as the Atharva Veda (2nd millennium BC) Ayurveda is the oldest existing system of medical practice and was followed by the Dravidians and Aryans alike and Ayurveda has been practiced ever since. It is regarded by proponents as a total way of life meant at spiritual, mental, and social well-being as well as physical health.

The foundation of Ayurvedic medicine is the constitution of the individual. Ayurveda identifies three basic metabolic body types consequent to three basic life energy forces, or doshas viz. vata, pitta and kapha. Each person’s constitution is seen as a combination of these doshas. Advocates of Ayurvedic medication believe health is equilibrium of these energy forces, resulting in synchronization of body, mind, and spirit in the individual as well as between the individual and the outer forces of the surroundings and society.

Ayurveda does not seek to treat the symptoms of illness; instead, it seeks to re-establish the fundamental balance of the doshas. The Ayurvedic practitioner diagnoses a patient’s constitutional type and imbalances through such techniques as questioning, specialized pulse measurements, and observation of the tongue, eyes, nails, face and skin, voice quality, urine, and breath odor.

The practitioner then makes specific recommendations to bring the doshas back into balance. Ayurvedic therapies focus on way of life changes and herbal remedies, focused on diet, exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, herbal tonics, steam baths, enemas, and other option medical practices such as aromatherapy. Special cleansing therapies such as bloodletting and blood-thinning herbs are also used to rid the body of disease-causing toxins.

Ayurveda is considered useful in supporting many other kinds of treatment programs. Proponents consider it is a precautionary as well as a remedial therapy that can reinforce the immune system against disease.
