General Information
Ayurveda, means the science of healthy living, derives its name from the Sanskrit words, AYUSH (LIFE) and VEDA (KNOWLEDGE). It looks at healing in a holistic fashion. The physical treatment has overtones of philosophical and psychological approaches too. Any ailment in the body is viewed as a result of a combination of factors with special reference to the components of diet. It is here that Ayurveda recognizes that each individual is different and so treatment too should be customized. The Ayurvedic principles are found in detail in Atharva Veda, one of the four Vedas of Hinduism.

Principles of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is based on two important theories
Thridosha Siddhanta: According to Thridosha siddanta, life is the manifestation of three basic aspects named Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. As long as these three doshas are in balance, health prevails. When these doshas falls into imbalance, ill health occurs.
Panchabhoota Siddhanta: According to the Panchabhoota siddhanta , Universe is made of five basic factors named bhootas. They are Prithwi, Jal, Vayu, Akasa and Agni. Though it is impossible to define these Bhootas perfectly, we can equate Prithwi as Earth and Jal as water, Agni as fire, Vayu as air and Akasa as space.
Ayurveda makes use of the relation between three dhoshas of Vatha (Small & Large Intestines), Pitha (Liver, Spleen, Gall Bladder, Stomach, Duodenum, Pancreas) and Kapha (Sinuses, Nostrils, Throat, Bronchi) and five bhoothas of Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu and Akasa.
« Bhootas of Vayu and Akasa activate Vatha
« Bhootas of Agni activate Pitha
« Bhoothas of Prithvi and Jal activate Kapha.
Ayurveda proved through the centuries of experience and research that every material in the universe can be used as drugs, provided that they are processed and used rationally, according to these dhosha-bhootha relation.
