"Skilled, dexterous and
empowered by the Divine for
healing is our left hand,
for it removes blocks in the
free flow of joy. And yet
more potent is this divinely
empowered right hand, for it
contains all medicinal
capacities of the universe,
its all auspicious healing
touch bringing peace,
harmony, welfare, opulence,
joy and liberation from all
toxic conditions of matter -
birth, death, old age and
disease." -Atharva Veda
WHAT IS AYURVEDA ?
Ayurveda originated in India
long back in pre-vedic
period. Rigveda and
Atharva-veda ( 5000 years
B.C.), the earliest
documented ancient Indian
knowledge have references on
health and diseases. Ayurved
texts like Charak Samhita
and Sushruta Samhita were
documented about 1000 years
B.C. The term Ayurveda means
‘Science of Life’. It deals
elaborately with measures
for healthful living during
the entire span of life and
its various phases. Besides,
dealing with principles for
maintenance of health, it
has also developed a wide
range of therapeutic
measures to combat illness.
These principles of positive
health and therapeutic
measures relate to physical,
mental, social and spiritual
welfare of human beings.
Thus Ayurveda becomes one of
the oldest systems of health
care dealing with both the
preventive and curative
aspects of life in a most
comprehensive way and
presents a close similarity
to the WHO’s concept of
health propounded in the
modern era.
A perusal of its several
classical treatises indicate
presence of two schools of
Physicians and Surgeons and
eight specialities. These
eight disciplines are
generally called "Ashtanga
Ayurveda" and are :
The main aim is to maintain
positive health of a healthy
& to help a patient with
various treatments to
overcome the disease

means to be healthy, stay

aspect of our life. It

guidancebased on the

Ayurveda is basically:
