" Traditional Medicine, like the earth itself, has special powers of
healing, particularly for deep seated disorders, that we have
overlooked in the rush develop a standardized technologically-based
medicine" -Dr. David Frawley
Ayurveda is a holistic healing science who's meaning is derived
from two words "Ayu" and "Veda". Ayu means life and veda means
knowledge or science. The literal meaning of the word Ayurveda is
"the science of life". Ayurveda is a science of dealing not only
with treatment of some diseases but is a complete way of life. Body,
mind, and spirit as well as ethics, tradition, religion among
numerous other things are all part of Ayurveda. The ultimate goal of
Ayurveda is salvation, perfecting life on earth and then moving
beyond that life. · Ayurvedic Medicine originated in India about
7000 years ago. · Ayurveda focuses on establishing and maintaining
the balance of life energy within us.
· Ayurveda emphasizes a persons' individual constitution. · Health
manifests itself through the law of nature " Prakriti ". · There
are three fundamental universal energies that regulate all natural
processes on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. These
energies are known as the " Tridosha " ( Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) ·
Mind Body connection, and balance are fundamental to Ayurvedic
Medicine. There are two main aims in Ayurveda: 1. To maintain
the health of healthy people 2. To cure the diseases of sick
