Kerala Ayurveda |
|
|

|
| |
Ayurveda is the traditional health science of India. The word ‘Ayurveda’ means Science of Life (AYUR means life and VEDA means knowledge) which explains the knowledge of various guidelines to be followed to keep one healthy. So this is not only a medical system but also a way of life. This science has a strong basis of India Philosophy, which has been handed down to us by means of ancient scripts in palm leaves. Ayurveda has two main aims, which are the preservation of health in healthy people and curing of diseases in diseased people |
|

|
|
| |
Ayurveda instructs and proposes that every living and non-living being in this Universe is a unique combination of five eternal elements called Panchamahabhothas which are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Human body is also made up of these elements in various compositions. Proceeding from them there are three physiological temperaments or principles known as Tridoha by means of which all the bodily functions are regulated. These are Vatha from Air and Ether, Pitha from Fire and Kapha from Earth and Water |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Generally Vatha is the controlling Dosha, Pitha is the changing Dosha and Kapha is the making Dosha. Ayurveda explains other body constituents as Dhatus (tissues), Malas (waste products), Agni, (Energy), Manas (Mind), and Atma (Soul). When these constituents are in a state of equilibrium we are said to be healthy. Changes in this equilibrium will result in diseases |
