About Ayurveda

Ayurveda Has Three Principles as Its Basic Premise. They are as Follows: To Preserve the Health, To Promote the Health of the Healthy Person, and To Prevent and Cure the Disease of the Ill Person. The Indian System of Medicine is Composed of Two Words, Ayu and Veda. Ayu Means ‘Life’ and Veda Means ‘Science.’ the Word Ayu (Life) Encompasses Body (Sarira), Senses (Indriya), Mind (Satva) and Spirit (Atma).Ayurveda is the Most Ancient Form of Medicine in the World and the Forerunner of All Other Great Systems of Medicine. It is a Comprehensive System of Health Care Derived From the Vedas Which is One of the Most Ancient Repositories of Knowledge. Ayurveda Places Great Emphasis on Prevention and Encourages Maintaining Health by a Balance of Body, Mind and Consciousness According to One’s Own Individual Constitution. It Stresses the Need to Make Lifestyle Changes to Bring About and Keep This Balance.According to Ayurveda, Each Person Has a Particular Pattern of Energy, Which is His or Her Constitution. This Constitution is Determined At Conception by a Number of Factors and is the Same Throughout One’s Life. Many Factors, Both Internal and External, Can Disturb the Balance and are Reflected as a Change in One’s Constitution From the Balanced State to An Unbalanced State. Ayurveda Helps to Re-Establish One’s or iginal Constitution.
