Ayurvedic Treatments and Remedies

Ayurvedic treatments differ from majority of normal medical treatments due to its unique approach towards healing. Rather than trying to cure only a disease, ayurveda wholly concentrates on an individual. Having a balanced state of agni (digestive fire), doshas, dhatus (tissues), normal functioning of mala (waste products), cheerful state of atman (soul), sensory organs and mind are the symptoms of healthy life.

Ayurvedic Treatments emphasizes on examining the doshas/prakriti or the natural states of individual before proceeding. It takes into consideration the mind, body and soul of an individual as the unit for diagnosis. Therefore, it recognizes all the negative emotions like fear, anger, insecurity, jealousy and greed as incorrect thinking on the part of an individual. These can directly create an imbalance in the doshas. Rajas, or excessive activity, sattva, or peaceful equilibrium and tamas, or inertia- the three gunas or tendencies of mind influence the imbalances in the three doshas.


Herbs, spices, medical plants and herbal remedies are known to ayurveda in India since several years. The value of medical plants, spices and herbs as herbal remedies is being lost due to deforestation, and lack of awareness. It has resulted in many valuable medicinal herbs becoming rare and precious information being lost.

History of herbal remedies is very old compared to modern medicine. In the absence of modern medicinal remedies people relied on herbal remedies derived from herbs and spices. Even after medicine came into practice people didn’t use much medicine benefits as they were more inclined towards the herbal remedies.
Thus ayurvedic treatments and its remedies became more important to the people than the usual medicines.
