AYURVEDA


Ayurveda is a science of medicine. The word means Ayu = life and veda = science (science of life). Which came into existence three to five thousand years ago and as said is pioneered by Lord Brahma.
This science explains that the base for living is supported as four pillars viz., dharma, artha, kama, moksha. This is the pecularity of ayurveda that it offers a person to know his aim of life.
Ayurveda identifies three basic types of energy or functional principles that are present in everybody and everything, viz., vata, pitta and kapha. In ayurveda, body, mind and consciousness work together in maintaining balance. According to ayurvedic philosophy the entire cosmos is interplay of the the five great elements – Akasha, Vayu, Agni, Jala & Prithvi.
