| Ayurveda, is a holistic system of medicine that has been practiced in India for over 5,000 years. It was discovered in ancient times by Rishis or those realized beings who practised intense meditation and other spiritual disciplines. As a result, they understood the relationship between man, the universe and how the cosmic energy manifests in all things. They perceived that life is energy manifesting as five basic elements Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.In the human body, these elements manifest as Tridosha - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The three principles govern all the biological and psychological functions of the body and mind. When there is an imbalance in the Tridosha, Agni, the biological fire that controls metabolism, is affected, the body's immune system is impaired, food is not digested or absorbed, but instead accumulates as toxins. Ayurveda teaches that unless these toxins are eliminated first, none of the treatment will affect the underlying cause of illness. |
