“Ayu” means Life and “Veda” means knowledge. In simple words, Ayurveda is the knowledge of life which guides us to live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. It stresses on food, lifestyle, massage, yoga and herbal remedies to suit our individual make-up.

Ayurveda is applicable to every living thing, as implied by its name, the science of life. Vedic sciences attribute life to more things than we normally do - the things such as air, wind, fire, the earth, planets, stars, etc. are all thought to possess conscience like living beings.

Ayurveda is considered to be a form of complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) within the western world, where several of its methods, such as the use of herbs, massage, and Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine, are applied on their own as a form of CAM treatment.

Ayurved is an ancient science of healing system which originated in India around 1500 B.C. Ayurveda's fundamental and applied principles got organised and enunciated. Ayurveda traces its origins to the Vedas, Atharvavedain particular, and is connected to Hindu religion. The Sushruta Samhitaand the Charaka Samhitawere influential works on traditional medicine during this era.

Ayurved is a unique, complete and independent science by itself which has its own concepts of human anatomy, physiology, pathology and treatment. The philosophy of Ayurved encompasses the living and the non-living. Ayurved, traditionally involves a holistic treatment of the humans keeping its cosmic nature in mind.

As ayurved has its own unique way to cure a diseases or aliment, which is different from that proposed by modern medicine (allopathy), the treatment of a particular ailment is unique by itself.

No. Ayurvedic principles are universal, and anybody can incorporate them into his or her daily life. There is no need to become religious in order to adopt the principles of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is not a religious Hindu text. Rather, Ayurveda is a rational science that celebrates universal principles. While deeply spiritual in subject (in the sense that matters of mind and spirit are addressed in Ayurveda), Ayurveda is not ‘Hindu’ as in the every day sense of ‘Hinduism’. Ayurveda does not advocate a particular religion or a deity.

The only beliefs you must have to want to practice some of the common themes of Ayurveda are: 1) belief in living healthy, 2) belief in feeling energetic, 3) belief in looking younger, 4) belief in being less toxic, and 5) belief in acting in harmony and balance internally and within your natural environment.

No you do not necessarily have to be a vegetarian to follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Ayurveda recommends foods that are ideal for your body and mind depending on your body type and nature. Although Ayurveda focuses on a healthy seasonal vegetarian diet, it also at times prescribes meats of several animals, fishes and birds. Therefore an Ayurvedic practitioner guides a person of the diet depending on his body requirement as each individual is different.

The aim of Ayurved is to incorporate a balanced lifestyle in one’s life, preserve health in healthy person and to cure the diseases and aliments. To achieve these goals several methods and regimen have been described.

One of the eight branches of Ayurved is Rasayana tantra or Rejuvenation methods which deals with vaya sthapan (age stabilizers), ayushkara (life promoters), medha kara (intellect promoters), bala kara (strength promoters), and also roga hara (disease curative) therapies.

Therefore the overall effect of rasayana is on the basic functional unit of the human body to provide a balanced and healthy lifestyle. It improves nutritional status and the qualities of seven dhatu, which lead to a series of relative attributes of rasayana such as longevity, immunity against diseases, improve mental and intellectual ability, etc by direct enrichment of the nutritional quality of rasa dhatu.

Ayurveda is the knowledge of life which guides us to live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. The main cause of obesity and being overweight is imbalance in ones lifestyle. Ayurveda looks at obesity as an excess build up and accumulation of kapha in the body. In order to correct these imbalances, one must balance calorie consumption with physical exercise, and herbal food supplementation with detoxification. Ayurveda helps in regaining the normal balance of the body in a natural way and one can expect to completely regain their healthy weight.

Ayurveda does not claim to ‘cure’ diseases, but to restore balance to the body and mind. Cancer is caused because of a tridosha imbalance at the cellular level. Ayurveda recommends herbal and diet therapy in Cancer. However is recommended that cancer patients check with their physician or primary health care provider.

Ayurveda recommends getting vitamins and minerals directly by consuming nutritious whole foods and herbs, although it is getting increasingly more difficult to get all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs solely from the food consumed. Unless otherwise directed by your physician, it is not necessary to take additional vitamin and mineral supplements. If you continue taking vitamin & mineral supplements along with Ayurvedic herbal supplements, you should not have any problems.

Ayurveda and Yoga are closely related as practicing both together will enhance results to have a strong mind and disease free body.

As mentioned earlier Ayurveda does not claim to ‘cure’ diseases, but to restore balance to the body and mind. Ayurved can provide a better solution for many acute and chronic diseases than many current allopathic treatments available in modern times. Correct use of ayurvedic remedies can provide symptomatic as well as long-term benefits in such diseases. If used judiciously, ayurvedic remedies do not produce any side effect and are very safe for long-term use.

Ayurvedic treatments do not necessarily need to continue for a very long time. The duration of treatment is similar to modern medicine, depends on various factors like type of disease, duration of disease, age of the patient, type of medicines used, nutritional status of patient etc. There are however many of our natural products that you can incorporate into your daily diet and routine.
