Ayurveda
Ayurveda or
ayurvedic medicine is a form of
alternative medicine in use
primarily in the Indian
subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda"
is a tatpurusha compound of a-yus
"life" and veda "knowledge", and
would roughly translate as the
"Science of Life". Ayurveda deals
with the measures of healthy
living, along with therapeutic
measures that relate to physical,
mental, social and spiritual
harmony.
Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine involving surgery. It is very important to note that the mainstream scientific community has produced almost no support for the claims of Ayurvedic practitioners, while they have found strong evidence that using Ayurvedic medicine involves potentially serious risks. Ayurveda is a wholistic system of medicine from India that uses a constitutional model. Its aim is to provide guidance regarding food and lifestyle so that healthy people can stay healthy and folks with health challenges can improve their health. According to Ayurveda, every person contains some of the universe's five basic elements: earth, air, fire, water, and ether (or space). The combination of these elements in each individual breaks down into three metabolic body types, or doshas. The doshas are known as vata, pitta, and kapha. Vata consists of ether and air, and is associated with lightness and movement. Pitta is made of fire and is associated with transformative metabolic processes--the digestion of food to produce energy, for example. Kapha consists of earth and water and is associated with structure and stability. Although each type of energy resides in every individual, one is usually dominant. | |
