Ayurveda covers all aspects of healing
including diet, exercise, lifestyle, yoga and meditation. Ayurveda
assists Nature by promoting harmony between Nature and individual by
living a life of balance, according to existential laws. It works with
forces of Nature, helping people to cure and prevent disease,
strengthen the body and purify the mind.
Ayurveda is a complete medical
system, which reveals that ultimately, all intelligence and wisdom
flows from one absolute source - Paramatma. Health manifests by the
grace of the absolute, acting through the laws of Nature - Prakriti.
Ayurveda sees the person as whole individual and considers not only
physical health, but also mental and spiritual well-being. It is this
mandatory integrated approach that makes AYURVEDA pre-eminent among all
the Schools of medicine. The goal in Ayurveda is a healthy and long
life.
Healing
ourselves through the ayurvedic methods, we also heal the mother earth.
Through healing the earth, we bring harmony between all living beings
and the greater universe. Ayurveda brings the person to a state where
sickness cannot reach him! Understanding who we are and how we function
is important for having peace and happiness in our lives. Through
shining the light onto the truth and beauty of our unique selves, we
can help others to do the same. Ayurevda gives us a specific map to
knowing our innermost being, through investigating our prakriti
(nature) and the doshas (biological forces).
Similarly, Ayurveda
considers that the physical nature of various living organisms are both
caused and affected by the varying combinations of the basic
attributes. This spiritual science offers numerous unique benefits. It
looks at people as individuals, not as a generic group. It heals from
the root-cause of an illness, not merely treating the symptoms.
Balance
is a very base concept in Ayurveda
Proper digestion, assimilation and
elimination are impaired when basic forces inside us are thrown out of
balance by stress, repressed emotions, inappropriate diet or lifestyle,
insufficient rest, environmental toxins, climate or seasonal changes.
This causes accumulation of a toxic substance (ama) which leads to
disease. The key to prevention or treatment of disease is to restore
balance.
Ayurveda provides a clear, concise, and cohesive regimen to
help people restore balance and health in their mind and body in a
natural way. Food (Ahara), Activities (Vihara) and Thought processes
(Vichara) determine one's personality and health condition and
imbalances will need to be corrected to achieve normalcy.
