Introduction
Ayurveda is India’s traditional, natural system of medicine
that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Ayurveda
is a Sanskrit word that literally translated means "science
of life" or "practices of longevity." Ayurveda was the
system of health care conceived and developed by the seers (rishis)
and natural scientists through centuries of observations,
experiments, discussions, and meditations. For several
thousand years their teachings were passed on orally from
teacher to student; about the fifth to sixth century BC,
elaborately detailed texts were written in Sanskrit, the
ancient language of India. For many years Ayurveda
flourished and was used by rich and poor alike in India and
Southeast Asia. Manuscript page from Atharva-Veda,
earliest Indian text (approx. 1500 BC) with much medical
information, one of several Vedas (meaning "knowledge"),
upon which Ayurvedic medical practice is based on. Ayurvedic
manuals were written by Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata that
give detailed descriptions of the various practices. Charaka
listed 500 hundred remedies and Sushruta over 700 vegetable
medicines.
Ayurveda emphasizes prevention of disease, rejuvenation
of our body systems, and extension of life span. The
profound premise and |

promise of Ayurveda is that through certain practices, not
only can we
prevent heart disease and make our headaches go away,
but we can also better understand ourselves and the world
around us, live a long healthy life in balance and harmony,
achieve our fullest potential, and express our true inner
nature on a daily basis. Ayurveda provides an integrated
approach to preventing and treating illness through
lifestyle interventions and natural therapies. It is based
on the view that the elements, forces, and principles that
comprise all of nature - and that holds it together and make
it function - are also seen in human beings. In Ayurveda,
the mind (or consciousness) and the body (or physical mass)
not only influence each other - they are each other.
Together they form the mind-body. The universal
consciousness is an intelligent, aware ocean of energy that
gives rise to the physical world we perceive through our
five senses. Ayurvedic philosophy and practices link us to
every aspect of ourselves and remind us that we are in union
with every aspect of nature, each other, and the entire
universe.
There can be no mental health without physical health, and
vice versa. In Ayurveda, symptoms and diseases that could be
categorized as mental thoughts or feelings are just as
important as symptoms and diseases of the physical body.
Both are due to imbalances within a person, and both are
treated by restoring the natural balance mentally and
physically. In Ayurveda your whole life and lifestyle must
be in harmony before you can enjoy true well being.
Lifestyle interventions are a major Ayurvedic preventive and
therapeutic approach.

In India, Ayurvedic practitioners receive state-recognized,
institutionalized training in parallel to their physician
counterparts. The research base is growing concerning the
physiological effects of meditative techniques and yoga
postures in Indian medical literature and Western
psychological literature. Published studies have documented
reductions in cardiovascular disease risk factors, including
blood pressure, cholesterol, and reaction to stress, in
individuals who practice Ayurvedic methods.
Laboratory and clinical studies on Ayurvedic herbal
preparations and other therapies have shown them to have a
range of potentially beneficial effects for preventing and
treating certain cancers, treating |
