 PRINCIPLES OF AYURVEDA

The bedrock of Ayurveda is on two theories-ie Panchamabhootha theory and Tridosha theory. Ayurveda philosophy enunciates five basic elements on living and non living matters like Prithvi(Earth),  Jala(Water),  Teja(Fire),  Vayu(Air) & Akash (Ether).  Human body is made out of these five elements; collectively known as Panchamahabhootha. The physiological functions of the body are totally governed by three biological units namely 'Vatha', 'Pitta' and 'Kapha' and these three doshas are the basic elements which influence the functions of the body. Ayurvedic treatment helps restore the equilibrium of doshas.  Ayurveda stipulates self healing, restricted diet and nutrition, exercise, rest and relaxation, pranayamas, cleaning and rejuvenation, with the application of medicinal herbs. It lays great emphasis on preventive and dietary methods for the sustenance of good health.
