Ayurveda, a traditional holistic health care system, older than any other system of medicine, has been practiced in India for more than 5000 years. Ayurveda, recognized as alternative medicine now, represents the science of life and longevity originating in the Vedic traditions of India. Based on the principle of eternal life, this holistic health care system has a vast body of knowledge covering eight branches. Its major premise involves the symbiosis of mind, body and spirit. Any imbalance in this synthesis results in physical ailments. This ancient Indian medicine seeks to reestablish the harmony between the body and its habitat by creating the optimum health environment.
The entire science of ayurveda is based on the ‘Five Great Elements’ (Panchmahabhuta) theory. These five elements are earth (prithvi), water (jal), fire (agni or tej), air (vayu) and ether or space (akash). In popular tradition, the universe is understood to be made up of these elements. Ayurveda comprehends body, mind and spirit likewise and has specific methods for working on each.Living according to the principles of Ayurveda promotes that health which leads to the four goals of life, which includes moksha, Enlightenment! Living non-Ayurvedically is called Prajna Paradha, literally meaning “crimes against wisdom,” which is the cause of so much individual, familial, social and planetary suffering. Ayurveda is like Physics or Math in that it belongs to everybody. Though Ayurveda was originally ’seen’ by the sages of India, it is common to all, it is perennial wisdom, and so Ayurveda belongs to every creature in the universe.
