Ayurveda – History & Philosophy
Ayurveda is an ancient system of life (Ayur) knowledge (Veda) arising in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda theory evolved from a deep understanding of creation. The great rishis or seers of ancient India came to understand creation through deep meditation and other spiritual practices. The rishis sought to reveal the deepest truths of human physiology and health. They observed the fundamentals of life, organized them into an elaborate system and compiled India's philosophical and spiritual texts called Veda of Knowledge.
The philosophy of Ayurveda teaches a series of conceptual systems characterized by balance and disorder, health and disease. Disease/health results from the interconnectedness between the self, personality and everything that occurs in the mental, emotional and spiritual being. To be healthy, harmony must exist between the purpose for healing, thoughts, feelings and physical action.
Ayurveda – Approach to the Treatment
Ayurveda has three broad themes of treatment. These are elimination therapies (shodana or Panchakarma), pacification therapies (shamana) and nourishing therapies (bhrimana). Panchakarma includes nasal administration for vata, pitta and kapha, medicated enemas for vata, purgation and bloodletting for pitta and vomiting for kapha. Symptomatic treatment of this type for disease is not effective in bringing a Cure. Pacification strategies or balancing with opposites, including diet, lifestyle, herbs, meditation, yoga and so on. Nourishing therapies are used when strength or emaciation issues are being treated.

The world can be divided into two major areas as the East and West. The Eastern world accepted Ayurveda long back and included it in to their health promotion.
