"AYURVEDA THE MOTHER OF ALL HEALING"

Ayurveda, derived from the Sanskrit term meaning “The Science of Life,” originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is regarded as one of the most scientific medical systems, addressing both curative and preventive aspects of disease comprehensively.

Tridosha (Three Doshas)

According to Ayurveda, every human being is a unique manifestation of cosmic consciousness expressed through five fundamental elements: Ether, Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. These elements combine to form three primary doshas:

• Vata (Ether + Air)
• Kapha (Water + Earth)
• Pitta (Fire + Water)

These doshas exist in every cell, tissue, and organ, with variations in their combinations determining an individual's constitution and psychosomatic temperament.

Disease Process

The human body maintains a natural balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha (VPK). However, factors like poor dietary habits, irregular lifestyle, seasonal changes, stress, and emotional suppression can disrupt digestive fire (Agni) and lead to improper digestion. This results in the formation of toxins (Ama), which accumulate in different areas, causing diseases. For instance, toxin buildup in the lungs leads to respiratory disorders associated with Kapha imbalance.

Ayurvedic Treatments (Pradhana Karmas)

Ayurveda focuses on eliminating disease at its root and emphasizes three main objectives:

1. Healing
2. Disease prevention
3. Longevity enhancement
