AYURVEDA - An Introduction
Ayurveda means THE SCIENCE OF LIFE. This stream of knowledge passed on from
generation to generation since eternity explains life from birth to death and
suggests all possible natural ways to lead a long healthy life. Apart from
treating diseases, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of prevention of diseases.
This can be achieved by following different 'Dos' and 'don'ts' as laid down by
traditional Acharyas who had farsighted knowledge of nature. They considered all
living creatures as the replica of nature. i.e. all perceptible substances are
formed by the permutation and combination of the basic FIVE ELEMENTS or
PANCHAMAHABHOOTHAS . These five elements thus form the basic structural elements
of all objects in the universe. The functional units of the human body are formed
by DOSHAS, DHATHUS, & MALAS which in turn are made up of these five elements.
Diseases whether due to external or internal cause, occur due to the disequilibrium
of these functional units. Even though there may be a structural abnormality, a
disease will not manifest unless and until the function of organ(s) is affected.
Doshas Vatha ,Pitha & Kapha (Tridosha) represent catabolism, conversion, and anabolism
in the body. Ayurveda explains the body on the basis of tridosha theory which is
eternal, applicable to all in any era. Ayurveda is the first system of medicine
enriched with different medical specialties like general medicine, pediatrics,
surgery, obstetrics etc.
AYURVEDA-TODAY
The World Health Organization has realized the richness of Ayurveda and has listed it
as the best and safest system of medicine. This system of medicine has captured great
interest among western scholars and many are coming to India not only to percept its
unfathomable depth but also to avail and assess its preventive and curative prospects.
Unfortunately this opportunity is being exploited by money minded quacks and business
people which has resulted in the mushrooming of Ayurvedic resorts throughout India
practicing unscientific methods, thereby causing more harm than good to the patient.
