AYURVEDA – A GIFT BY INDIA …!!!!
Made up of two words AYU meaning LIFE and VEDA meaning BOOK, the word
AYURVEDA itself speaks for its name , that is THE BOOK/KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE.
Ayurveda emerged from the sacred
texts of ancient India, known as the Vedas, or “Books of Wisdom.” These date
back at least five thousand years and are widely regarded as humanity’s oldest
literature. As a completely universal body of wisdom, Ayurvedic practices are
as relevant today as they were 5000 years ago. Ayurvedic principles can be
woven into any culture or time period, because they are rooted in the laws and
cycles of Mother Nature.
AYURVEDA not only treats the unhealthy but it is a way to live life.
The aim of AYURVEDA is प्रयोजनं चास्य स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्यरक्षणमातुरस्यविकार प्रशमनंच!!
Which means
keeping a healthy individual healthy and making a sick individual free from his
disease.
According to Ayurveda, health is not
a state defined by lab tests or yearly check ups. Health is a continuous and
participatory process that embraces all aspects of life: physical, mental,
emotional, behavioral, spiritual, familial, social, and universal. Achieving
balance on all levels of being is the true measure of vibrant health. The
average person and standardized treatment simply do not exist in Ayurvedic
medicine. Every individual is a one-of-a-kind with an equally unique blueprint
for health. By providing a universal framework for understanding these blueprints,
Ayurveda teaches us to honor and support our true individual natures.
The underlying prescription of
Ayurvedic medicine is quite simple: recognize the
power of self-healing within, and you will become your own greatest doctor !
