What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, or ayurvedic medicine, is a healthy-lifestyle system that
people in India have used for more than 5,000 years. Ayurveda emphasizes
good health and prevention and treatment of illness through lifestyle
practices (such as massage, meditation, yoga, and dietary changes) and
the use of herbal remedies.
Ayurvedic medicine is holistic, which means viewing the body and mind as
a whole. Ayurveda not only treats a person's physical complaints, but it
also changes lifestyle practices to help maintain or improve health.
According to ayurveda, the five elements of nature (space, air, fire,
water, earth) combine in the body as three components (doshas) known as
Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas relate closely to the basic
elements of nature and to specific functions of the body. A balance of
these doshas is thought to be required for optimal health.

In ayurvedic medicine, it is thought that if an imbalance occurs in any of the three doshas, illness results. Ayurvedic medicine treats illness in many ways, including dietary changes, herbal remedies, and exercise. According to the ayurvedic philosophy, you can also use yoga, meditation, or counselling to treat disease.
