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.
