Ayurveda brings you welfare

Ayurveda is a traditional holistic system of Healing Practice which evolved among the Brahmin sages of ancient Hindu mythology more than 5000 years ago.

It is a philosophy which teaches us:
* lead a better/healthier life.
* achieve an aim in our life.
* to live with sound body and mind.
* to understand yourself and nature.

For this, we need Ayurveda.

There are several aspects which distinguish it from other healthcare

Ayurveda is a complete system of healthcare, with a variety of components aimed at improving emotional, physical and mental health. There are several aspects of this system of medicine/philosophy which distinguish it from other approaches of healthcare:

1. It focuses on establishing and maintaining balance of the life energies within us, rather than focusing on individual symptoms.

2. It recognizes the unique constitutional differences of all individuals and recommends different regimens for different types of people. Although two people may appear to have the same outward symptoms, their energetic constitutions may be very different and therefore call for very different remedies.

3. Ayurveda recognizes that all intelligence and wisdom flows from one Absolute source (Paramatma/ Aum). Health is a result of the grace of the Absolute acting through the laws of Nature (Prakriti). Ayurveda promotes harmony between the individual and Nature by living a life of balance according to Nature's laws.

4. Ayurveda describes three fundamental energies that regulate all natural processes on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. The same energies that produce effects in the various galaxies and star systems are also operating in your own physiology. These three universal energies are known as the Tridosha.

5. Finally, the ancient Ayurvedic physicians realized the need for preserving the union of the mind and body. Ayurveda seeks to heal the fragmentation and disorder of the mind-body complex and restore wholeness and harmony to all people.

The Five Elements

Everything in the universe is made up of a combination of the Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhut). The human being is made up of the Five Elements as well, but also acquires a soul or spirit.
These five elements are known as:

・Space/Ether (Akasha)
・Air (Vayu)
・Fire (Tejas/Agni)
・Water (Apa/Jal/Pani)
・Earth (Prithvi/Bhumi)

By earth, we are to understand not only the terrain of our planet or the iron in our red blood cells, but also the quality and strength of mind, one’s slow and quiet undeterred advancement towards a goal, resistance to the manifestations of others.

By water, we mean to imply the unified aspects of reality that hold things together; this is perfectly and simply witnessed in the omnipresent H₂O molecule.

By Fire, we mean the universal force in nature that produces heat and radiates light; it is our passion to pursue despite obstacles and delays; it is what burns away the hidden of ignorance (avidya) and allows the Truth to shine with brilliance. Fire removes doubt from the human heart and replaces it with joy.

Air is that transparent, rarefied, kinetic force which sets the universe in motion; it moves the blood through the vessels, wastes from the body, and thoughts through the mind; it moves the planets around their suns.

Space/ether is the subtlest of all elements which is everywhere and touches everything. In the mind, it is the vessel which receives all impressions; in the heart, it is the space that accepts love. Space is receptivity and non-resistance to what is true.

Finally, these Five Subtle Elements (Pancha Mahabhut) form the basis for all things found in the material creation, from a grain of sand to the complex physiology of every human being. Balancing these elements in just the right way for each individual is the key to maintaining health and treating physical, mental, or spiritual disease should it arise.

Ayurveda Healthcare in Practice

Ayurveda aims to stop the problem in the body, before the stage of illness. The key to Ayurveda is prevention. If outside influences are kept under control, there is no roomk for imbalance to occur in the body. When treatment(healing) is successful, the life energy is restored to equilibrium/harmony. You would feel healthy and full of energy.
IT AIMS NOT ONLY TO CURE DISEASE, BUT ALSO TO CURE ALL WELL-BEINGS.

Balance is found in our body, by finding Nature(Prakritti), harmonious balance in the Tridosha that make uop our physical body. A healthy mind will maintain our dosha/physical body in balance. A healthy spirit will keep the balance between sattvic, rajastic, and tamasic mind.

Branches of Ayurveda

The practice of Ayurveda is divided into many different branches to include all aspects of health and healing, such as;-

Karma/Action
Karma is the Hindu, Buddhist belief that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It also forms the foundation of the theory on reincarnation. Every human and animal life goes through the cycle of birth and rebirth until they attain a stage of perfection or Moksha/enlightment. According to Ayurveda, prolonged ailments, infertility, acute skin diseases, and mental illness can be the outcome of bad Karma.

Vedic Astrology(Jyotish)
It is a hindu system of astrology and conisdered one of the oldest forms of ancient astrology. It is based on the belief that humans have fortune and misfortune in life because of karma/action, many use Jyotish to understand the downs in life due to the influence of planets(Navagraha) and is part of a "holistic" approach to mitigate bad karma.

Right way of living(Sadachar)
To believe in God, to pursue celibacy, to control your mind, speech, and action leads to right living. Clearing our inner self reduces our negative emotions like anger, desire, and fear. Peace and bliss will prevail in ourselves, leading to the natural form of Health as a whole.

Food
Food is considered medicine in Ayurveda. It focues on the right kind of food, to meet the needs of each individual. It is based on a systematic idea of categorizing food, into sattvic, rajastic, tamasic stages. For example, "high pranic food", which matches the constitution/the needs of an individual is considered sattvic for that person. High pranic food which does not match the individual constitution is Rajastic. No prana food is tamasic to all individuals by Ayurvedic standard.

Yoga
Yoga is another branch of Ayurveda. It is considered one of the important type of exercises to balance Tridosha. Yoga exercises consists of Asanas, which effect your gross body. Pranayama brings you plenty of oxygen to purify your blood, burn up your waste matter and purify your mind. Meditation helps to stabilise your doshas and cleanse your spirit.

Massage/treatment
It helps to emininate excess energy accumulated during the previous season. It cleanses your body and balance your dosha.
