AYURVEDA - GOOD or BAD.. ??

AYURVEDA  is made up of two words AYU meaning LIFE and VEDA meaning BOOK, the word AYURVEDA itself speaks for its name , that is THE BOOK OF LIFE  OR THE KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE.

AYURVEDA is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. Although suppressed during years of foreign occupation, Ayurveda has been enjoying a major resurgence in both its native land and throughout the world. Tibetan medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine both have their roots in Ayurveda.

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.

Ayurveda  is a science which consists of eight subjects.

·         Kayachikitsa:  general medicine, medicine of the body

·         Kaumara-bhRitya (Pediatrics): Discussions about prenatal and postnatal care of baby and mother, methods of conception; choosing the child's gender, intelligence, and constitution; and childhood diseases and midwifery.

·         Shalyatantra: surgical techniques and the extraction of foreign objects

·         Shalakyatantra: treatment of ailments affecting ears, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. ("ENT")

·         Bhootavidya: pacification of possessing spirits, and the people whose minds are affected by such possession

·         Agadatantra (Toxicology): It includes subjects about epidemics, toxins in animals, vegetables and minerals. It as well contain keys for recognizing those anomalies and their antidotes.

·         Rasayantantra: rejuvenation and tonics for increasing lifespan, intellect and strength

·         VajikaraNatantra: aphrodisiacs and treatments for increasing the volume and viability of semen and sexual pleasure. It also deals with infertility problems (for those hoping to conceive) and spiritual development (transmutation of sexual energy into spiritual energy).

 

The first six branches helps in curing diseases whereas the last two not only cures physical ailments but also helps in keeping a healthy individual healthy. Various topics such as DINCHARYA and RITUCHARYA   teach people about daily activities according to different seasons.

AYURVEDA is a way of living. For all those people who think AYURVEDA is mere VATIS and CHURNAS let me tell you it is very beyond our thinking.

ACCEPT AYURVEDA IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU’LL NOTICE GREAT CHANGES.
