The knowledge of life and longevity, Ayurveda, is perhaps the oldest existing body of knowledge on the healing system. This holistic and natural healing system was developed by highly evolved spiritual beings who not only addressed the problems of the body and mind but also of the human spirit and consciousness. This knowledge system, which is in perfect harmony with the Indian thought process and its origin, can be traced to the Vedas and does not aim to merely cure the disease syndrome. Instead, its purpose is to harmonize and restore the living body to its natural state of equilibrium.
Ayurveda goes far beyond being a mere system of medicine. It is a way of life, propounded specially for the upliftment of mankind. The original Ayurveda treatises give a comprehensive description of how to live one’s life in tune with nature, free of disease and illness. Ayurveda gives a graphic account of how the living body is only a microcosm, that is nature and all elements that exist in the latter, are reflected in the living body. This close interconnection with nature forms the basis for the indigenous thought process and this is the foundation on which all the theories.
In “Ayurveda”, both the environment and humans are composed of five basic elements: Air, Space, Fire, Water and Earth. The predominance of these elements affects the three metabolic characteristics of individuals, which are referred to as Doshas. These three Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha and individuals can be classified as one of these three constitutions or as a combination of two or even three of the Doshas.
