Ayurveda or science of Life in Sanskrit, is a health system from India dating back about 3,000 years. As in traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic philosophy is a holistic one, based on restoring balance in an individual's energy systems. Ayurveda recognizes five categories of elements: ether (vibration), fire (heat, color), water (liquids), air (all gas-like substances) and earth (solids, such as bones), all of which are reflected in the human body.
The Ayurvedic Practitioner begins by evaluating a person's Health and physical makeup, and classifies the metabolic body type. Individuals are classified into three basic types, each with a set of distinguishing characteristics eg. vata (thin), pitta (medium build) and kapha (heavy set). Diagnostic Techniques usually involve observation of the tongue, pulse, eyes and nails. Treatments can include remedies prepared from herbs, minerals and vegetables, as well as massage and exercise (such as Yoga). Ayurvedic practitioners also give advice on nutrition and diet. Ayurvedic Medicine is beneficial for those suffering from a broad range of health Problems, including Heart disease and chronic illness, such as arthritis, rheumatism, asthma, allergies and liver Problems. As well, Ayurveda is considered helpful for maintaining good Health.
