Overview
There are some traditions which remain timeless especially those that adhere to the basic laws of nature. One such medical tradition that provides an "antidote" to literally all ailments that result from today's stressful lifestyle is "Ayurveda".

This traditional science has been handed over through the centuries by ancient physicians, who greatly valued health and fitness of the human body.   This science true to its name is well accepted as a natural and effective way of keeping the body healthy and free of toxins.

Ayurveda dates back an estimated 5,000 years.   Although it is an Indian science, it has influenced many other forms of medicine, from traditional Chinese to Greek medicine—as such, Ayurveda is often referred to as “the mother of all healing.”
 
The Science of Life
Ayurveda literally means the “Science of Life” -- “Ayur” meaning life and “Veda” meaning science.

Ayurveda deals with the human, mind, body and soul, and is a science which is based on preventing disease rather than treating it.  This ancient science of medicine and positive health is still relevant and beneficial to modern life

Today Ayurveda competes with the most advanced medicinal sciences and has effective remedies for various ailments and also offers solutions to stress and strain, which is accumulated in our day to day living.
 
 
The principles of Ayurveda state that nothing exists in isolation, so that everything you interact with - your diet, family, work or relationships - has an effect on your health and well being. One guiding principle of Ayurveda is that mind and body are connected and that the mind has a profound influence over our health and well-being. While conventional western medicine is still grounded in the paradigm of mind-body separation, Ayurveda holds that health is more than the absence of disease; it is a dynamic state of balance and integration of body, mind and spirit.
 
Ayurveda, The Harmony of Nature
One basic, common idea of medicine and philosophy is that whatever one finds in the universe or cosmos is found also in the human body. That is why it is necessary for Ayurveda physicians to study the physical constitution of the universe in order to understand the body properly.

Ayurveda teaches us how to maintain health and promote longevity. Every human being is a unique combination of the five elements provided to us by Mother Nature, these elements being earth, water, fire, air and space.
 
Doshas
 In Ayurveda there are three primary life forces in the body or three Doshas.  These are called ‘Vata’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’. A perfect balance of Vata (space and air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water and earth) results in healthy state of human body, which constitutes of mind, body and soul.

Ayurveda maintains that ailments are a result in the misbalance in these vital forces of life. The primary objective of Ayurvedic therapies is to diagnose and establish the misbalance which could be the elevation or depression in these forces and then prescribe and offer treatments to bring the forces back to normal and balanced levels.

Health is a means, not an end. It should be maintained to achieve full living and true salvation, which is dharma (righteousness) artha (wealth) karma (pleasure) and moksha (Liberation).
