Ayurveda
is an ancient healing system that originated thousands of years ago in India and
is still being used today. In fact, it is the worlds oldest medical system.
Ayurveda teaches that we are all unique individuals and our path to healing is
as unique as we are. Ayurveda literally means the "science or knowledge of
life".
Ayurveda is the
oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. Derived from its ancient
Sanskrit roots - ‘ayus' (life) and ‘ved'
(knowledge) – and offering a rich, comprehensive outlook to a healthy life, its
origins go back nearly 5000 years. To when it was expounded and practiced by the
same spiritual rishis, who laid the foundations of the
Vediccivilisation in India, by organising the fundamentals of life into
proper systems.The main source of knowledge in this field therefore remain the
Vedas, the divine books of knowledge they propounded, and more
specifically the fourth of the series, namelyAtharvaveda that
dates back to around 1000 BC. Of the few other treatises on Ayurveda that have
survived from around the same time, the most famous are Charaka Samhita
and theSushruta Samhita which concentrate on internal medicine
and surgery respectively. The Astanga Hridayam is a more
concise compilation of earlier texts that was created about a thousand years
ago. These between them forming a greater part of the knowledge base on
Ayurveda as it is practiced today.
Ayurveda is an holistic approach, taking the body, mind
and spirit as a whole, able to correct whatever is amiss- the sages of ancient
India knew this to be the only solution to the problems of health. it is said
that the lord Creator Brahma blessed the humanity with the Brahma-Samhita. A
part of the fourth Veda, the Atharva, it is a treatise on the way of the nature
towards perfect health. It contains the eight divisions of the Ayur-Veda. Many
herbs used in Ayur-Veda are fabled to induce eternal youth and even raise the
dead to life (like the Mruthasanjeevani mentioned in the Ramayana) Charaka,
Susrutha et-al, who lived in the sixth century B.C. wrote treatises based on
which the present day Ayurveda has grown as a medical and clinical discipline.
Defying the onslaught of the modern medical system in the last century, Ayurveda
has retained its ageless appeal-mysterious, even magical-but efficacious.
