Ayurveda

The divine handling of the knowledge must be one reason that Ayurveda was today made available to the whole humankind. Ayurveda would not flourish without the selfless service of those countless vaidyas who have defied all odds to extent their hands to the poor and needy with their knowledge. Ayurveda, in its modern form is believed to have come into existence around 600 BC. The Panchabhoota and Tridosha concepts would have developed from other sciences like numerology, yoga, theology, philosophy, etc. Ardent lovers, and practitioners of Ayurveda, have written in palm leaves that Ayurveda, as a science of life has no beginning and end. Yoga and meditation forms essential components of Ayurvedic treatments along with the therapy. Yoga and meditation unifies man in his completeness, mind, soul and body. The acquaintance with yoga, leaves one with a new approach to life. Abhyanga, Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi, Dhara, Sirovasthi, Vasthi, Yoniprakshalanam, Udvarthanam, Ksheeradhooman, Urovasthi, Snehapanam, Nasyam & Kizhi are the main treatments in Ayurveda.
