We decode three popular therapies to help bring back good health and promote a sense of well-being naturally
AYURVEDA
Literally the ‘science of life’, Ayurveda came into being as an oral tradition and was later recorded in the Vedas. It is a holistic therapeutic system that works towards helping you achieve physical, mental, and emotional balance. Ayurveda is based on the principle that the entire universe is composed of five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—collectively known as panchamahaboothas. These elements create humours or doshas—vata, pitha, and kapha—in our body, and our lifestyles lead to imbalances in these doshas. It is the aim of Ayurveda to correct these imbalances with a variety of therapies, herbal medication, diet modifications, and yoga. Ayurveda practitioner Dr Arun Aravind says, “According to the Indian physician Sushruta, a person is considered healthy when his physiology is balanced, his digestion and metabolism are functioning well, his tissues and excretion functions are normal, and his mind and senses are in a constant state of profound happiness. Hence, Ayurveda is becoming increasingly relevant to our contemporary needs.”
Dr Shobha R. Itnal tells us that the advantage of opting for Ayurveda is that besides curing a plethora of diseases, it can also be used as preventive therapy. “In English medicine, there is always the danger of side effects, the targets of which healthy organs can become. However, Ayurveda is a fairly targeted form of treatment,” she says.
