Ayurveda which
is India's
traditional
medicinal
systems dates
back 5000 years
in recorded
history. It is
an indigenous
medicinal
system, which is
always evolving
and is a science
which has been
time tested.
Ayurveda teaches
one to learn to
become one's own
doctor so that
when the 'doshas'
(constitution
types) go out of
'balance' the
patients
himself treats
his problem to
bring the doshas
back into a
state of
balance. The
learning and
application of
the principles
of Ayurveda is
based
basically on
'preventative'
care rather than
on treatment
after a problem
has set in.
Yoga is another
traditional art
form which
originated in
India and is
better known in
the world of
today than
Ayurveda. Though
separate systems
they complement
one another and
work toward
maintaining
better health in
an individual.
The 'asanas' or
postures are
very
invigorating,
re-energizing
and very down to
earth when one
understands the
true concepts
behind the
practice. Again
one will realize
that this is a
science as one
gets deeper into
the study of
Yoga.
