The
Indian system of nature cure:
Life is a combination of the body,
the senses, the mind and the atma (spirit or the soul). They can't
be separated from each other, and none can be neglected. From
this combination ensues
'Ayus' - the span of life.
Ayurveda - the science of life is the knowledge of this association
and of how to maintain it as long as possible. Ayurveda or the
'science of longevity' is the system of nature cure. It is known
to promote positive |
|
health, natural beauty and long life. Although rooted in antiquity,
Ayurveda is based on universal principles and is a living, growing
body of knowledge - as useful today as it was in earlier centuries.
It is said that Ayurveda is as old as the world itself. Its very
basis is the spiritual knowledge of the ancient seers of India
and the cosmic consciousness in which they lived. Into its ancient
well profound healing wisdom, some of the greatest doctors and
sages over time have poured their finest insights and discoveries,
transforming it into one of the oldest systems with a consistent
theoretical basis and practical clinical applications. Its strength
lies in its broad, all encompassing view of all dynamic inter-relationship
between organic philological processes, external factors including
climate, life works and diet along with internal psychological
and spiritual condition.

Very
much like various other systems of cure based on naturopathy,
Ayurveda believes that disease occurs not as an arbitrary phenomenon
but for definite reasons which if correctly understood could help
to cure and, more importantly, prevent recurrence of the disease.
Ideally human being and nature should be in perfect harmony. Disease
occurs when the equilibrium between these two is disrupted. Restoration
of this fundamental balance, through the use of nature and its
products, is main goal of this medical system. "The object
of Ayurveda", said Susruta the |
|
famous physician some 2600 years ago, "is the restoration
to health of those who are afflicted with diseases and preservation
of sound health of those who are well".
Evidently Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected
part, but also the individual as a whole. The stress is on prevention
of bodily ailments and not just curing them. There are no distressing
side effects and it has, today, become an internationally acclaimed
form of healing, rejuvenation and healthy living.
