What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the traditional and holistic system of medicine indigenous to India. The word Ayurveda has two Sanskrit components: ‘Ayu’, which means life and ‘Veda’, which means the knowledge; hence it is knowledge of life. This ancient system of medicine has evolved over time, integrating centuries of wisdom derived from practical, philosophical, religious illumination and intensive meditation adding years to life and life to years. It shows how our lives can be influenced, shaped, extended and ultimately controlled without interference from sickness or old age.
What is the basic component of Ayurveda treatment?
Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Globalized and modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of alternative medicine. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India. In countries beyond India, Ayurvedic therapies and practices have been integrated into general wellness applications and in some cases in medical use.
Treatment process in Ayurveda is to correct faulty dietary and lifestyle habits. In most cases just by correcting the lifestyle all other corrections are naturally affected and based on the natural vitality of the system , health is regained. However, in people who have practiced a poor lifestyle for many years, vitality becomes weak. This necessitates assistance in the form of cleansing the body with unique detoxifying treatments. In Ayurveda, the therapies or medicines are employed to facilitate the body’s own mechanism of healing.

Why try Ayurveda?
The history of Ayurveda goes back 5,000 years. At present there are more and more physicians from all over the world who are interested in it and who have adapted this medicinal system to our western society. Ayurveda and ayurvedic treatment techniques have been proven effective in many clinical studies. Ayurveda should be the first choice in case of chronic (drawn-out) illness, which can not be treated in a satisfactory manner by conventional medicine. Ayurveda aims not only to treat the sick person, but also to prevent illness in healthy people, who can get ill due to stress, family problems and so on. Therefore it is not possible to call Ayurveda, the science of life, merely as alternative medicine.
What are the advantages of Ayurveda medicine over conventional medicine?
Ayurveda being holistic is effective in treating diseases. Its provides individualized treatment and is conducive to socioeconomic conditions of India. With the availability of large number of formulations for any particular disease, use of food items as medicine and lifestyle awareness, Ayurveda enjoys a better place in respect of prevention and cure of the disease in comparison to western medicine system.
What importance do herbs have?
Herbs are gentle and natural treatment. They do not have any side effects, because they are compatible with the body’s own chemicals.
