IMPORTANCE OF AYURVEDIC TREATMENT IN THE MODERN WORLD

From the cosmos to the smallest of microorganisms, Nature is where you will find all the answers. And guess what? Our ancestors have successfully decoded some of the greatest mysteries hidden in nature, to unlock its secrets through the science of Ayurveda. We all know that this science originated in the east, but can you imagine how ancient it is? The origin of Ayurveda finds its mention in Atharva Veda, which dates back to almost the 2nd Century BC. The principles of Ayurveda are based on human behaviour and innate causes that remain unchanged throughout time, which makes it the most relevant healing system even in today’s fast-paced, connected, and digitized world.

Ayurveda – The panacea for the modern world

Everyone in today’s times seeks better health and longevity with a holistic approach. So, how can one achieve this? The answer lies in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda – an extremely effective healing system that combines physical, psychological, and spiritual health. It works on the basic principle of identifying the root cause of the disease and working towards its total eradication. It tries to enhance the body’s inherent capability to fight disease and restore good health and happiness. Ayurvedic treatment is not only about treating physical ailments, but also about achieving better health and happiness. Ayurveda can help cure physical illnesses and address various mental health issues.

• The Building Blocks of Ayurveda

Did you know that your unique physical and mental characteristics are determined by the proportion of three doshas - Vata, Kapha, and Pitta - in your body? One of the doshas is usually more dominant than the others. A person’s dosha (a type of bodily humor) determines their personality and health. The doshas are a combination of the five elements that make the earth – Aakash (space), Jala (water), Prithvi (earth), Teja (fire), and Vayu (air).

It describes the healthy and unhealthy state of life (mind and body) and describes the methods of balancing unhealthy conditions. Ayurveda focuses on the wellness of every person as a whole.
