Welcome to Ayurveda
at Natural Earth |
Ayurveda is a form of natural health and healing
therapy that aims to promote natural health- it is considered an alternative
and natural treatment used to enhance a happy and healthy lifestyle.
 “Life
science” is what Ayurveda means in Sanskrit.
It is derived from the two words ‘Ayu’ meaning life
and ‘Veda’ meaning knowledge or science. Ayurveda is
not just a preventive health care system; it is a form of natural
health and healing that found its origins in ancient India 5,000
years ago.
According to this system, natural health and healing is determined
by three biological principles, called ‘Doshas’. The
three ‘Doshas’ are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, each controlling
movement, metabolism and structure.
 The
body, mind and spirit is free of disease when the ‘Doshas’
are in equilibrium. Disease strikes when there is an imbalance or
disequilibrium in even one of these ‘Doshas’. Balance
is the key. Improper diet, pollution, unhealthy habits are just
some of the reasons that lead to an imbalance.
Ayurveda emphasizes the use of mind, body and spirit to prevent
and fight diseases. Thus it strives to restore the innate harmony
of the individual. The main thrust of Ayurveda is to synchronize
and coordinate the various bodily functions by identifying the imbalance
in the body. The underlying principle is that if the roots are watered
well, the plant will flourish. Sleep, diet, internal cleansing and
lifestyle are given as much or perhaps more importance than herbs
and potions.
 Ayurveda
places a lot of importance on learning. In this method of natural
health and healing, treatment is based on the physician’s
awareness of the world. Insights are gained by seeing, smelling,
tasting and listening. Ayurveda seeks to restore a person’s
health by bringing him into equilibrium with his true self. Thus
the aims of Ayurveda are:
 -To
maintain the health of healthy people,
-To cure diseases of ill people.
