Ayurveda System of Medicine

INTRODUCTION TO AYURVEDA SYSTEM OF MEDICINE IN INDIA

Ayurveda means "the science of life" (ayur means "life" and veda means "science" in Sanskrit). Ayurveda is a discipline of the upaveda or "auxiliary knowledge" in Vedic tradition. Ayurveda has its prime origin from Atharva-Veda and apart as a supplement of the Rig-Veda. Dhanvantari is worshipped as the God of Ayurveda.
 
Ayurveda way of treatment is a science of natural healing because it uses purely natural medicines such as herbs, vegetables and flowers. It follows that the five elements such as water, earth, air, space and fire form the human body. Ayurveda believed that body, mind and spirit are connected to each other. This treatment mainly dealt with the root cause of all diseases and gives permanent cure. Besides that, it also provides permanent immunity power to the body. When compared to the homeopathic medicine, it has very good power to cure diseases such as cancer, diabetics, etc., through purely natural way and it is proven. This medicine is the mother of all the medication and each type of medication is derived from this Ayurveda medicinal science. 
 
Most of the people believed that Ayurveda medicine doesn’t have any side effect, but it is wrong. It has some side effect, if the patient do not properly follow the methodology. The patient’s body response on Ayurveda medicine may depend on several factors containing a selection of drug, age and chronicity. The main limits are it would take a long time to cure, which is depending on the Imbalance power of the patients. All the medicine method such as allopathic medicine, homeopathy medicine and Ayurveda medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages and the choice Depend on the disease, cause of illness, possible ways of treatment, etc. It is important to know that one form of medication method may be effective for a particular person for a particular disease at a particular time, but couldn’t use all the medicinal way at the same time.
