WELCOME TO AYURVEDA @ AURA HEALTH
Ayurveda was revealed to seers of India thousands of years ago. The science of life or, science of longevity, promotes health, prevents disease and helps in achieving long life. It is well established scientific medicine with full pledged methodology for the treatment of all the ailments. Probably it is the only Vedic science and one of the oldest scientific medical systems in the world with wide range of applicability and continuously preached and practiced. The Astangas of Ayurveda are the eight branches of Medicine that were thought and practiced in India in the Vedic period as well as in medieval period. The same classification is still available in Ayurveda of this Modern age. The same classification is also adopted by the Modern Medicine. Besides the techniques of treatment Ayurveda proclaims the various principles and the theories of the pathogenesis which are very much formidable and instructive so that the challenges before new generations could also find their answers in them. Traditional Ayurveda fits quite well in to latest models of holistic healing, concerned with a broad view of the complete health of the individual; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What Ayurveda offers to these models beyond its own techniques is deeper awareness of how the human individual and our experiences are microcosm of the greater universe and the relationship in the interaction between our inner and outer worlds (Concept of Panchamahabuthas). Ayurveda accepts the common origin for universe and the man. The basic material constituents who exist in universe and man are called as five great elements or panchamahabhutas. The substance of this group pervades the universe and is not easily observable, hence called great element. These five elements are Prithvi(Solid), ap (fluid), thejo(radiant/light rays), vayu(gaseous), akhasa (ether) are states of matter and their respective principles are density, cohesion, light, movement and space. Ayurveda deals with the various principles and therapeutic panchakarma procedures which are essential for the constant maintenance of health throughout the life span as well as to combat the suffering in a comprehensive way. The preventive and curative aspects of ayurveda includes principles of positive health and wide range of therapeutic measures to attain physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing which is almost similar to the WHO’s concept of health in this modern era. Ayurveda with its understanding of life and consciousness becomes the medicine of the future. The concept of ayurveda is not just a medical treatment or diagnosis of a diseased condition but much more than that. Ayurveda is having a set of practical, simple guidelines for long life and good health, with the regular practice of these guiding principles you can bring your body and mind to perfect balance. According to Ayurveda the human body is composed of four basic fundamentals dosha(Three humors), dhathu( seven basic tissues), mala (Waste products of metabolism) and agni (Digestive fire). One who is having equilibrium of Dosha (Vata, pitta and Kapha),Agni (digestive fire or metabolic activity), Dhatu (Seven basic tissues), Mala (waste products) and pleasant Atma (consciousness) , Indriya( Sense organs) and Manas ( Mind) is called as healthy person. Disturbances to this equilibrium cause diseases. The three vital principles of doshas are vata, pitta and kapha, which together regulate and control the catabolic and anabolic metabolism. The main function of these three doshas is to carry the byproduct of Tridhosha concept (Theory of bio- humors) All activities in the universe as well as human are grouped in to three main basic functions, viz. creation, organization and destruction. These functions are represented in universe by three energies, i.e. moon or rain or principle of cohesion, sun or principle of thermo genesis and wind or principle of propulsion. Ether and air (Akasha and Vayu) combine to form Vata dosha, which is responsible for controlling destruction. Pitta is formed by the element of fire and small amount of water. This is also called as thermogenic principle, which is responsible for digestion and metabolism. Water and Earth combine to form biological water humor or kapha, which is responsible for new growth, strength, protection of all organs and maintaining the creation. Ayurveda teaches that the balance of three subtle energies, known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha, maintains health. Kapha is responsible for strength and immunity. It also provides the basic substratum to all the tissues of the body. Biological fire humor or Pitta is resp 3. Panchakarma Treatments (Purification treatments) Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means "five actions" or "five treatments". Pancha Karma is the process which gets to the root cause of the problem and corrects the essential balance of 'Tridosha' in body. Pancha Karma is not only good for alleviating disease but is also a useful tool in maintaining excellent health. Ayurveda advises undergoing PanchaKarma at the seasonal changes to clean the body, improve the digestion and to improve the metabolic process. The five purification procedures that mentioned by Charaka are Vamana (medicated vomiting), virechana (medicated purgation), niruha/ asthapana (decoction enema), anuvasana (oil enema) and sirovirechana/nasaya (Medicated errhine). Main benefits of panchakarma includes better functionality of digestive process, elimination of toxins, restoration and maintainance of health, helps in proper functitioning of sense organs, enhancement of mind and intellectual work, enhances the glow in your skin, increased stamina, person becomes capable of getting good progeny, elevated sexual power, delaying the aging process and the person enjoys disease free healthy life. Every individual requires purification from time to time. Due to the effect of time, imbalance in sense organs, bad food habits and other reasons like hybrid & processed foods, pollution, stress etc. are responsible for accumulation of toxin waste products in the body. If the body is purified properly, then the rejuvenation procedures get boosting and body gains strength and immunity. Hence panchakarma therapy is considered important for every individual. Each individual should carry out proper purification procedures for maintaining his health. Health is defined as equilibrium of bio humors, normal functioning of all seven tissues, balanced agni digestive fire, efficient elimination of waste products, normal functioning of five sense organs and harmony among body, mind and soul. In this procedure excess and vitiated doshas are removed from the upper part fo the body by way of vomiting. Vomitting is induced with herbal emetic substances for the purpose of eliminating vitiated Kapha and Pitta. Virechana( Medicated purgation) Downward elimination of vitiated doshas or waste products is known as virechana. To eliminate pitta, virechana is the best treatment. The aim of this treatment is to stimulate vitiated doshas from the stomach, small intestine, liver and gall bladder, and bring them to the gastro- intestinal tract for their eventual expulsion from the body through rectum. Vasti/ Basti (Medicated enema) Basti is main treatment for Vata disorders. However, it is useful in diseases of pitta and kapha as well as for vitiation of all doshas together and the vitiation of blood also. Basti (Medicated enema) can be given with many different combinations of herbs and other substances like oil, milk, honey, salt, broth, herbal paste, etc.
