Ayurveda, an ancient medical system originating in India around 5000 years ago, is a profound science of life, blending the Sanskrit words 'ayus' (life) and 'veda' (science). Diverging from conventional medicine, Ayurveda places emphasis on holistic well-being over disease treatment. Its core tenets revolve around personalizing the healing process, acknowledging the body's doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha), dhatu (supportive tissues), mala (waste products), and agni (biological fire). The intricate interplay of these elements shapes the body matrix, aligning with the principles of Panchamahabhutas – earth, water, fire, air, and vacuum. Health hinges on a balanced state, disrupted by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, leading to diseases. Ayurvedic diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, considering physiological characteristics, mental disposition, bodily tissues, humours, lifestyle, and environmental factors, alongside specific examinations like pulse, urine, and tongue assessments. Treatment aims at restoring equilibrium through dietary regulation, lifestyle adjustments, medicinal interventions, and preventive measures like Panchkarma and Rasayana therapy.
