Principle of Ayurveda Treatment (page 2/2)

There are an increasing number of Western people who are becoming disillusioned with the side effects of chemical drugs and are turning to Ayurvedic medicine as an effective alternative.

The basic and most important principal behind this Ayurvedic medicine is the balancing of our life force and maintenance and reliance in our body’s own natural healing power.

In Ayurvedic medicine we do not look for specific diseases but instead try to diagnose the unhealthy phenomenon that is occurring in a particular individual. We view the patient in terms of his body as unique from anyone else’s and take into consideration his basic constitution. Ayurveda then tries to find out why these diseases developed in the first place and works from there, rather than search for a cure.

Today, there are so many people who are midway between healthy and sick. We may call them half-healthy people. There is no positive way of helping them. In Ayurveda, we can immediately begin treatment to these half-healthy people before they get a disease. This is nothing but prevention. Ayurveda has a vast line of therapies to achieve this preventive health.

When we are healthy our body responds to the external environment in a natural, positive manner. Mental and emotional discomforts can be sensed immediately through Ayurvedic therapies. Thus this comfort and abnormal functioning of the mind and body can be relieved easily.
