The growing popularity of Ayurveda around the world is due to its holistic approach towards wellness of life and true spirituality.
Ayurveda is the ancient science of life which focuses on strengthening body's own capacity to prevent diseases and to fight against them and in achieving a long life. Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit
words: Ayu means life and
Veda means knowledge.
The basic philosophy of Ayurveda is based on the ‘Panchmahabhootas’- the five elements – Air, Fire, Earth, Water and Ether. These elements combine to form controlling forces or biological humours called ‘Tridoshashas’ – ‘Vaata’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’.
Vata regulates the physical and psychological movements.
Pitta governs heat and metabolism.
Kapha maintains structure and stability.
Whenever there is an imbalance of these ‘doshas’ in the body, disease occurs.
Ayurveda with its herbal medicines, diet control , Yoga and meditation helps restore the balance and ensure perfect health.
