Ayurveda
Ayurveda, which literally means the science of life (Ayu = Life, Veda = Science), ayurveda is an ancient medical science which was developed in India thousands of years ago.
The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humours or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
The primary preventive objective of Ayurveda is , “Swasthasya Swaasthya Rakshanam”. This means to preserve the health of ahealthy person. And the curative objective is Aaturasya Vikara Prashamanam. This means to cure the disease of a diseased.
Health according to Ayurveda
“Human body where all three humors (Doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha) are in balance, whose appetite and digestion are in balance; whose seven body tissues (Seven dhatus: rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, majja, asthi and shukra) are functioning normally; whose malas (urine, feces and sweat) are eliminated properly and whose spirit, senses and mind remain full of bliss is called health”
