The power of ayurveda and its secrets.

Ayurveda, the science ‘science of life’ is a system of traditional medicine native to India. It comprises the words Ayus, meaning ‘life’ and Veda, meaning ‘science’ – Sanskrit origin .Through this post i am going to tell you the secrets and power of Ayurveda and also very importantly the differences between the Allopathy and Ayurvedam.

It remains an influential system of medicine in south Asia and considered to be a form of complementary and alternative medicine within the western world.

Ayurveda is not only a medical system it is a way of life, a philosophy. Life according to ayurveda is a combination of senses, mind, body and soul. It deals not only with the physical aspect but also spiritual health too. The laws of the nature govern it. The ayurvedic treatment not only cures a particular disease but also goes deep into the root cause. The concept of this is to promote health rather than just treat disease. All the remedies and suggestions are solely based on nature. It cures a particular disease not just from the physical aspect but it also takes the mental, emotional and spiritual well being into account. According to this the study aspect of every individual is made up of five elements, namely: earth, water, air, space and fire. The functional aspect of the body is governed by three biological humors. The beauty of the therapeutics is that they contain the active principles in their natural forms and their administration in prescribed doses doesn’t cause any side effects to the patients.

Especially suited for chronic and bacterial diseases with least side effects. Has a tonic effect on immune and nervous system. Attempts to cure rather than control.
Weaknesses: Expensive, slow- acting, poorly qualified doctors , the slow death of great nadi-pariksha tradition , brought into disrepute by charlatans using steroids and allopathis drugs. Unable to give full results unless medicines are used in conjunction with cumbersome detox procedures such as panchakarma.
