Ayurveda- A
Oldest Medication in the World
Ayurveda is believed
as the oldest treatment method
in
the world (more than 3500 years old). The Plants are used
for preparing as medicines. Nowadays Ayurveda has become
very popular among the tourist especially foreigners.
Patients from all over the world are coming here for
Ayurveda treatment.
The literal meaning of
Ayurveda is 'Science of Life'. The system is passed
through traditionally from master to disciples orally. 'Thaliyola',
palm leaf, was used for writing medical details. 'Narayam',
an iron pin, was used as pen. The disciples used to stay
in master's house, which is known a 'Gurukula'.
Now the
traditional knowledge has been improved through scientific
research and is taught in various Ayurveda Colleges in
Kerala. A graduate doctor in Ayurveda, takes 5 years of
courses at college besides six months of internship and is
considered on par with doctors of modern medicine. |

The overall treatment outlook of
Ayurveda is broadly classified into two.
1. Preventive Therapy (Swasthasya swasthya samrakshanam)

"Prevention is better than cure". A person who maintains
his health will not be afflicted by diseases. A number
of measures have been explained for this purpose.
-
Rasayana Chikitsa (Rejuvenative Therapy)

2. Curative Therapy (Athurasya
vikara prasamanam)
Mainly two methods have been explained for curing the
diseases.
a. Samana Chikitsa (Pacificatory therapy)
By using
medicines and other measures, the imbalanced and
vitiated humors such as "Vatha", "Pitha" and "Kapha" (Doshas)
are brought to a balanced state, thus curing the
disease.
b. Sodhana Chikitsa-Panchakarma
Therapy (Purificatory therapy)
The increased and vitiated doshas are expelled from the
body by means of various Panchakarma therapies. These
therapies are very significant as with these treatments
not only the disease is cured but also prevent relapse.
There are no complete treatment in other systems of
medicines like allopathy for diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, osteo-arthritis, frozen shoulder, slip disc,
sciatica, cervical and lumbar spondylitis, paralysis,
obesity, depression, stress related and other
psycho-somatic problems, insomnia, migraine, sinusitis,
asthma, piles, a number of skin diseases like psoriasis,
eczema etc. A number of procedures are available in
Ayurveda namely Uzhichil, Pizhichil, Kizhi, Njavarakizhi,
Udhwarthanam, Sirodhara, Sirovasthi, Tharpanam, Vamanam,
Virechanam, Vasthi, Nasyam, etc. for treating these
problems. |
The Uniqueness in Ayurveda Treatment Ayurvedic treatment is unique in its approach to
health and disease. Instead of suppressing the main
symptoms, the root cause is eliminated and thus gives
permanent relief. The treatment is mainly carried out
using powders, tablets, decoctions, medicated oils
etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals,
massages and enemas etc.
