Ayurveda is a comprehensive system of traditional health care that emphasizes the relationship among body, mind, and spirit. and is considered to be the traditional system of medicine of India.

In Ayurveda, human body is not considered just as a mass of organs, systems and tissues; but the complex mechanism' of myriad functions taking place both at physical and mental level are evaluated and described. In order to explain the functional complexity of human body, Ayurveda propounded few basic doctrines. These doctrines visualize the functional units of the body to be formed by three Dosha (humours), seven Dhatu (tissues) and Mala (metabolic end products) which are in equilibrium during health.The human body is more complex than any other form of life as on date. Purusha -the Human body is the aggregate of 25 elements, together with Atma -the spirit or soul. All ayurvedic studies conducted on herbal and holistic medicine in ancient India followed from the fountainhead of the two principle Ayurvedic schools.

Specialty of Ayurveda

Ayurveda offers reference points for managing treatment decisions specific to each case. Ayurvedic theory is profoundly useful in analysing individual patient constitution and understanding variations in disease manifestation.

The Ayurvedic framework can be used to structure working models of the unique state of each patient, and to project a vision or goal for a whole state of health, again unique to each case.

Ayurveda offers specific recommendations to each individual on lifestyle, diet, exercise and yoga, herbal therapy, and even spiritual practices to restore and maintain balance in body and mind. Ayurveda sees a strong connection between the mind and the body, a huge amount of information is available regarding this relationship.

This understanding that we are all unique individuals enables Ayurveda to address not only specific health concerns but also offers explanation as to why one person responds differently than another
