Ayurveda

Developed in India more than 4000 years ago, Ayurveda is an integrated, physiotherapeutic medical system based upon the universal natural law of balancing the five elements (Ether, Air, Water, Fire and Earth) that make up the physical body. When one or more of these elements go out of balance because of improper life style, various diseases and mental disturbances occur. The Tridoshas called Vatha, Pitha and Kapha need to function in harmony with each other as well as with the five basic elements of the universe (Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Ether) to stay healthy. Most illnesses arise due to the imbalance in functioning of any one or two of the Tridoshas, which leads to the malfunctioning of the internal organs. Ayurveda basically strengthens the body’s immune system against diseases. It treats the root cause of the disease rather than the disease itself, thereby permanently curing the disease without recurrence.
