Ayurveda Is The "Science of Life"
Ayurveda litteraly means the "science of life". Ayurveda
and ayurvedic mean the same thing and involve an ancient system
of healing that assesses an individual's constitution and lifestyle.
Treatment recommendations include herbal preparations, diet, yoga,
and purification.
Ayurvedic is an alternative herbal medicine therapy that believes heavy metals
are therapeutic. The FDA considers heavy metals very dangerous for
consumption and that is why Ayurvedic medicines are sold as supplements
rather than medicines in America.
Ayurvedic Medicine focuses on natural healing. Cures are based on
ancient formulae that have been written down in the ancient Ayurvedic
traditions. The success of an Ayurvedic cure depends on the quality
of its ingredients. All medicines are based on vegetables and minerals
with the active ingredients coming from plant alkaloids.
Looking to plants for healing powers is an old idea and was embraced by the
early physicians in ancient India.
Ayurvedic practitioners believe that it is important for the body
to be balanced by monitoring three elements found in the
body. Disease is called Vyaadhi, and it is treated by focusing on the
imbalance of these elements.
These three elements are called Kapha, Pitta, and Vata,
and it is believed that disease is caused when one or more of the
elements become unbalanced within the body.
- Kapha: one of the three elements in Ayurvedic medicine, derived
from earth and water.
This energy is caused by the lack of stabilizing the balance
in the body. These are commonly called viruses by Westerners.
- Pitta: one of the three elements in Ayurvedic medicine, derived
from fire and water.
This energy supports vision, temperature, hunger, thirst,
intelligence, and happiness. When out of alignment, the outcomes
include weight fluctuation, dehydration, depression, digestive
issues, and apathy.
- Vata: one of the three elements in Ayurvedic medicine, derived
from air and ether.
This energy keeps the overall balance between the earth,
sky and world around us in check with ourselves. If it falls out
of balance, sickness is invited in.
