Ayurveda is fast becoming a household name with all those interested in "alternative medicine". Yet Ayurveda is not an alternative medicine. It is one of the oldest forms of medical science known to man - originating 5000 years ago.
Ayurveda is more than a system of herbal medicine. It is a way to a healthy & long life and can complement modern medicine. Ayurveda has two main aims: It treats the symptoms of a disease and it helps individuals to strengthen their immune system. Ayurveda treats the body, mind and spirit of a person as a whole entity, and works on the basis that the mind and body affect each other, and together can overcome disease.
The Institute of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine has been established with the following primary objectives.
To promote Ayurveda and alternative medicine.
To provide a forum for dissemination of information for the advancement of knowledge in Ayurveda and alternative medicine.
To provide training in the field of Ayurveda and other forms of alternative medicine
To carry out research and training for the development of Ayurveda and other forms of alternative medicine
To set up and maintain herbariums and arboreta especially for growing producing and collection of plants herbs relevant to or required for Ayurveda and other forms of alternative medicine.
To set up and operate laboratories, pharmacies and clinics for the preparation of Ayurveda products and to practise Ayurveda and alternative medicine
To carry out reseach and training in activities complimentary to the practice of Ayurveda including Yoga and traditional arts and culture.

Meaning of Ayurveda

A system of self-care that originated in India more than 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is becoming very popular all over the world, with hundreds of healers incorporating it into their practices and thousands of people using its well-tried principles and therapies to improve their well-being.The Vedic word ayurveda has two root words--ayu and veda. Every root word in the Vedic tradition has its own definition--thus, ayu has its own definition and so does veda. Literally and concisely, ayu means "life" and ved means "science." According to this translation, ayurveda means "the science of life." But the Vedic texts expand on these definitions to offer us a more complete understanding, and our ayurvedic expert Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra has explained some of these expanded statements. Ayu explainedWhat is the real meaning of ayu or life according to the fundamental principles of ayurveda? Sharirendriya sattwa atma samyogo ayuhu, goes one verse. Sharir means physical body; indriya means senses. Sattwa refers to the combination of mind and heart--overall psychological strength, and atma means soul or spirit. When all of these--body, senses, heart, mind and spirit--are in proper balance and function in a harmonious, coordinated manner, that is true life--"the living body."Veda explainedVeda means science: not a science that changes its theories and its findings every few years but ageless, eternal knowledge built on siddhantas, fundamental unchanging principles. Veda refers to guided knowledge: it is not just theory, but also a roadmap for how to derive practical benefit from the knowledge.A longer definition of ayurvedaAnother longer definition of ayurveda goes: ayurhitahitamvyadhe nidaanamshamanam thathaa vidyate yatra vidhwadhihi tatra ayurveda uchyate. This verse takes us to a deeper level to understand what ayurveda is.Ayurveda provides us with a complete understanding of what is life-sustaining and what is not, not just for the physical body, but also our mind, heart, senses and spirit. This includes descriptions of the kind of diet, lifestyle and behavior that is optimal for well-being, the ideal environment, and the herbal rasayanas that are good or bad for each of these aspects of health. There is great detail on each of these modalities--what to eat, when to eat and how to eat are a part of dietary recommendations, for example. The texts also include recommendations for nurturing relationships and living as part of the human community.If an individual does not have this knowledge or has the knowledge but does not implement the knowledge, then, say the texts, the person becomes susceptible to imbalance and disorders
History of Ayurveda
Five thousand years ago in the magnificent Himalayas, one of the greatest sages of India, Srila Vyasadeva wrote down the Vedas for the first time, this included a branch which is called Ayurveda: "The science of Life" (Ayur means life and Veda means science).
The Vedas came from an oral tradition that reached back into antiquity. Srila Vyasadev entrusted the original copies of the texts with his most erudite and enlightened disciples, who, along with other great sages, inaugurated a very long sacrificial ceremony for hundreds of years for the purification and blessings of the entire world. Remember people lived for one to two thousand years back then. During that time, they studied and discussed these ancient texts with their own disciples, who wrote commentaries, and expanded and developed these original and eternal truths without ever altering them.
During the years after the conclusion of this sacrifice, copies of this perfect Vedic texts were placed in various temples and libraries throughout India. They were written down in the original Sanskrit language for the benefit of the general population. (Sanskrit is the father of Latin and most of the world languages).
As far as the science of life was concerned - Ayurveda - volumes of wisdom poured forth like the rains during the monsoon season. Beside Vyasadeva's information about hundreds of herbal drugs in the Vedas, there were descriptions later on, by other sages like Sushruta, Charaka, etc. on how to perform prosthetic surgery to replace limbs, cosmetic surgery on the nose and elsewhere, caesarean section, and even brain surgery!
Everything was described in great detail and archaeological research has uncovered evidence that proves that some of these operations were performed successfully between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago. The great sage Charaka has given information in Ayurveda about the development of the child within the womb week by week, month by month, limb by limb, from conception to birth, that equals our modern medical texts in accuracy.
There is information about atomic energy, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, anatomy, herbal drugs, Ayurvedic dieting and nutrition. All are described in the most simple and profound manner so as to make it easy enough for any person to have a basic working knowledge of this great science of life - Ayurveda. I know this sounds incredible and you may be wondering, "How is it possible to have one system embrace all systems" How would it be applied? The answer is simple. The first step is to ascertain the individual's "Biological Mode" , and than to treat the person accordingly.
Principles of Ayurveda
According to ayurvedic philosophy an individual bundle of `spirit’, desirious of expressing itself, uses subjective consciousness or Satwa to manifest sense organs and a mind. Spirit and mind then project themselves into a physical body, created from the five (Pancha) great (maha) eternal elements (bhutas) – together called the Panchamahabhutas – which arise from Tamas. The sense organs then using Rajas to project from the body into the external world to experience their objects. The body becoming the mind’s vehicle, its physical instrument for sense gratification.
The Bhutas combine into "tridoshas" or bioenergetic forces that govern and determine our health or physical condition. While the three gunas (Rajas or activity, Tamas or inertia and Satwa, which balances the first two) or psychic forces determine our mental and spiritual health. Ayurveda is thus a holistic system of health care that teaches us to balance these energies in order to achieve optimum health and well being.
Diagnosis in Ayurveda
Indian medicine names three main causes of disease – 'overuse', 'disuse' or 'misuse’ of faculties; 'errors in judgement'; and influence of seasonal changes. According to Ayurveda all human diseases can be classified into the seven broad categories, namely :
1. Genetic (Adibalapravritta)
Consists of ailments as obstinate skin diseases, hemorrhoids, diabetes, tuberculosis and asthma that arise primarily due to defects in the sperm (sukra) of the father – when it is called pitrija or the ovum (sonita) of the mother – when it is termed matrja.
Undigested food, abnormal behaviour, addiction of any type and stressful situations affect the reproductive elements of both the male and female, resulting in a defective foetus.
2. Congenital (Janmabalapravritta)
Caused essentially due to nutritional disorder (rasakrita) and unfulfilled cravings of the mother during pregnancy (dauhrdya)
If diet and / or conduct of the mother aggravates vata, the foetus might end up with deformities as kyphosis (hunchback), blindness and dwarfism; increased pitta may cause alopecia and yellowish pigmentation of skin; and enhanced kapha might result in albinism.
3. Constitutional (Doshabalapravritta)
Arise out of any dietary or behavioural disturbance brought about by an imbalance in any one of the three vital physical energies (Tridoshas) or the three vital mental energies (Trigunas).
Thus constitutional disorders are of two types : somatic (Sharirika) & psychic (Manasika).
4. Traumatic (Sanghatabalapravritta)
Undergoing any trauma causing experience – external or internal – leads to this.
External trauma is induced by injuries inflicted by sharp instruments and bites of animals or venomous insects.
Stress and overstrain lead to internal trauma.
5. Seasonal (Klabalapravritta)
Brought about by changes in the nuances of seasonality.
Sometimes the body fails to adjust itself to the sudden and abnormal climatic changes – extreme cold might lead to frostbite and rheumatic disease. While extreme heat may cause sunstroke or fever.
6. Infectious and Spiritual (Daivabalapravritta)
Either born out of natural calamities as lightning, earthquakes, floods and the invisible, malignant forces of nature.
Or contacted through sexual & physical intimacy and sharing of food, plates, bed, clothes, towels and cosmetics with effected friends & relatives.
Or as a result of sheer jealousy.
7. Natural (Swabhavbalapravritta)
Even the healthiest of people are struck by hunger, thirst, sleep, death or senility.
Brought about by functional, organic and natural changes in the body.
In Ayurveda, physicians try to assess the symptoms of these diseases as much as the nature of ailment and its root causes (nidana). This is of utmost importance in ensuring correct choice of remedial & preventive measures for treatment of the disease. For otherwise, even after therapy, one might not get the desired response and there would remain a chance of recurrence.
The early signs and symptoms (purvaroopa) provide useful warnings and the opportunity for taking necessary action before a disease can assume dangerous magnitudes. The main signs and symptoms (roopa) reflect the true nature and intensity of the disease. Another oft used method of diagnosis is exploratory therapy (upasaya) which uses diet, medicines and routines to detect diseases otherwise difficult to diagnose. Acting either against the cause of disease or the disease itself or producing relief. For example a swelling that is alleviated by an oily & hot massage, is obviously caused by an imbalance of vata.
Examination Process
To confirm, evaluate and treat a disease, physicians need to perform clinical examinations of patients – wherein textual knowledge (aptopadesa), direct perception (pratyaksha) and inference (anumana) are all very important components. The examination of patients can be carried out in the following manners:
Three (Tri) fold (Bidha) Examination (Pariksha)
Covers a general examination of the patient.
Involves:
Visual observation (Darshan)
Tactile perception (Sparsha)
Questioning (Prashna)
Scope of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a holistic system of healing which evolved among the Brahmin sages of ancient India some 3000-5000 years ago. There are several aspects of this system of medicine which distinguish it from other approaches to health care:
1. It focuses on establishing and maintaining balance of the life energies within us, rather than focusing on individual symptoms.
2. It recognizes the unique constitutional differences of all individuals and therefore recommends different regimens for different types of people. Although two people may appear to have the same outward symptoms, their energetic constitutions may be very different and therefore call for very different remedies.
3. Ayurveda is a complete medical system which recognizes that ultimately all intelligence and wisdom flows from one Absolute source (Paramatman). Health manifests by the grace of the Absolute acting through the laws of Nature (Prakriti). Ayurveda assists Nature by promoting harmony between the individual and Nature by living a life of balance according to her laws.
4. Ayurveda describes three fundamental universal energies which regulate all natural processes on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. That is, the same energies which produce effects in the various galaxies and star systems are operating at the level of the human physiology--in your own physiology. These three universal energies are known as the Tridosha.
5. Finally, the ancient Ayurvedic physicians realized the need for preserving the alliance of the mind and body and offers mankind tools for remembering and nurturing the subtler aspects of our humanity. Ayurveda seeks to heal the fragmentation and disorder of the mind-body complex and restore wholeness and harmony to all people.
Scope Of Ayurvedic Medicine
Classically, Ayurvedic Medicine was conceptualized and practiced as eight major clinical subspecialties of medicine in addition to numerous adjunctive specialties. The eight major subspecialties continue to be taught today and they include:
Internal Medicine (Kayachikitsa)
General Surgery (Shalya Tantra)
Otorhinolaryngology (Shalakya)
Pediatrics and Obstetric/Gynecology (Kaumarabhrtya)
Psychiatry (Bhutavidya)
Toxicology (Agada Tantra)
Nutrition, Detoxification and Rejuvenation (Rasayana Tantra)
Fertility and Virility (Vajikarana)
For every disease, there is information about: definition, etiology, prodrome, clinical symptoms, pathophysiology, prognosis, principles of treatment, medicines, diet, lifestyle recommendations, and even etymology. This approach is strikingly similar to that of modern medicine and even more comprehensive.
Over the last century, Ayurvedic Medicine has experienced a rebirth and has continued to evolve its holistic approach to health in accordance with modern needs and scientific advances of the day. Today, modern Ayurveda also includes:
Kulam Svastyam Kutumbakam: Principles of Preventative Healthcare For the Entire Family
Sangakara Chikitsa: Treatment of Addictions. Includes strategies for defeating addictions to alcohol, tobacco, sexual behavior, and food.
Panchakarma Chikitsa: Purification and Rejuvenation Treatments. Prescribed with respect to one's individual nature, work, social circumstance, age, and season.
Sthaulya Chikitsa: This discipline covers practical and effective approaches to maintain a healthy weight through constitutionally-determined diet, exercise, herbs, spices, teas, breathing, and psychological aids.
Vatavyadhi Chikitsa: Specific treatment plans for the diseases of Vata origin which affect the musculoskeletal system and nervous system (joints, bones, muscles, nerves) Examples include but are not limited to: osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, osteopenia, multiple sclerosis, spondylosis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Svabhaavoparamavaada: Promotion of self-healing and resistance to disease (i.e. immunity) as per your age, sex, occupation, nature, daily routine, medical history, mental status, season, and region.

WHY WAIT TILL YOU'RE ILL BEFORE ATTENDING TO YOUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING?

1. Your good health is your responsibility - no one else's.

2. Illness - (dis-ease) - is not necessary. It is usually caused by neglect - eg. Poor nutrition, insufficient drinking water, stress, not enough rest, drinking alcohol to excess, drugs, smoking etc.

3. Your work does not cause STRESS… Stress is your reaction to the conditions prevailing. You can either react in a stressful way or not. That is your choice.

4. Your state of health is a measure of your life time of standards

5. Your body may succumb to illness quickly or it may take years

6. In general terms? a body in good health is one that has a high active oxygen content, a good balance of minerals, a sound skin structure, an efficient immune system

7. A well oxygenated body is a difficult fortress to assail - in other words - if the body is well oxygenated, and fully and correctly fed then disease is an unlikely result

8. Your water, your food, your air is polluted to some extent.

9. It is becoming difficult to obtain sufficient oxygen, minerals or vitamins without supplementation.

10. Keep your allopathic medicines to a minimum by keeping yourself in good health in the first place.

PREVENTION IS MUCH BETTER THAN CURE!!!

The main causes of ill health are nutritional, lifestyle or environment related.

The Journal of the National Academy for Child Development claims that...”Today's diets for the majority of our children have many shortcomings. Maybe that is an understatement and we should say their diets are grossly inadequate. They are not eating their fruits and vegetables. For those who are, many of the fruits and vegetables they eat are missing the essential micronutrients our children need for optimal health”.
Why are the essential micronutrients missing from most of our fruits and vegetables?


Harvesting of the produce GREEN to cope with long distance transport to cities is the main reason for micronutrient deficiency in our food.
The biological signal for food to produce the micronutrient molecules occurs at maturity of the fruit, vegetable or seed. When fruits and vegetables are picked green, it is before the micronutrient molecules are present.

Have you ever noticed how much sweeter fruit is when it is picked ripe from the tree or vine. 7 Reasons why you should eat the Ultimate Health Whole Food Supplement

1. It is the body's natural fuel … Food only

2. It contains a much wider variety of food sources than your present diet can ever provide - over 130 wholefood ingredients...

3. It is a synergised, balanced formula

4. According to Chinese Medicine custom and the manufacturer the CHI (or energy) of each ingredient nourishes specific organs or systems of the body which may be missing in western diets

5. It is ECONOMICAL – contains vitamins, minerals and herbs you may currently be using as single supplements

6. It is safe – grown in unpolluted soil and water with no pesticides or herbicides as measured by the University of Western Sydney.

7. It may build a body capable of growth and repair ensuring vitality into productive old age. However as food it makes no claim to curing any illness or disease.

Hippocrates said over 2000 years ago... “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food...”

However, your body cannot rely on a single or even just several simple foodstuffs to sustain life. The various body parts; cells and tissue, bones and organs require different nutrients to maintain normal metabolism. In order to maintain physical and mental health, it is important to eat a wide variety of complete and balanced nutrients. Most of us don't have or can't make the time to prepare wholesome meals from fresh organic ingredients.

Ultimate Health Food for Thought Complete Nutrition Powder will bridge the gap…Over 130 Chinese and Western dried plants and vegetables have been combined in a convenient, fast, effective and simple way to supply you with a complete and balanced nutritional food supplement. Each
ingredient has been carefully selected to synergise with the others so that the seemingly tiny amounts provide maximum nutritional effect.

A daily 5 gram serving ( 1 heaped teaspoon) is the equivalent of about 50 grams of fresh produce. The taking of single products (eg. Calcium, Iron, Vitamin B etc) can cause nutrient deficiency so should only be taken as a treatment when the body is out of balance and then under the supervision of a therapist. To prevent ill health you should take as wide and varied a range of food nutrients as possible.

...Your cells demand it...

We can put a man into space, but can we feed ourselves properly?

Many foods today are lacking in sufficient nutrients. Chemical over farming, pollution, overcooked and highly processed food which contain preservatives and artificial colours further deplete nutrients.
In addition, the overuse of antibiotic drugs, fast foods, soft drinks, contribute to the decline in immune systems and accumulation of toxins in the body which may lead to the degeneration of organs, such as liver, kidney, heart, lung, spleen. Such degeneration results in the body becoming more susceptible to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart and kidney diseases, asthma, cancer, infections and allergies.

We can easily become overfed and undernourished.
The famous Chinese doctor Sun Si Miao said "try food as a cure first, then try medicine". Wise words indeed! Western medicine is based on treating disease. The result is a huge Medicare budget creating wastage of public resources and increasing the burden on taxes. Apart from the economic issue, the nation cannot afford the decline in the health of it's population, but priority is still given to cure rather than prevention.

Allergic reactions and side effects to drugs and foodstuffs are becoming rampant in western societies creating a great need for balanced, natural food supplements. The search for the right natural and balanced supplement can be a minefield of misinformation and confusion when confronted by the array of products available.

The quality of our natural, clean environment is rapidly diminishing. The air, water, and food we consume contain toxic elements. In the United States, between 4,000 and 20,000 cases of cancer are caused each year by pesticide residues in food in amounts considered allowable by the government.
Our cities are becoming polluted with toxic chemicals and smothered with smog. Government reports show our drinking water is becoming contaminated with toxic chemicals, antidepressants and sex hormones, and other discarded medications. In addition, the water is treated with dangerous chemicals such as chlorine and fluorine.
Even many of the foods in our grocery stores have been grown with toxic pesticides and fertilizers to protect and enhance growth. Other foods are mixed with food additives to help manufacturers save money and extend the shelf life.
All these harmful chemicals are taken into the body. The burden of removing these harmful poisons and toxins from our bodies is the responsibility of the liver. If the liver is not able to cope with the often overwhelming task these toxins present and detoxify rapidly, other organs may begin to manifest damage in a variety of degenerative diseases, including heart disease, stroke, liver disease, diabetes, brain degeneration, and premature aging.
The liver is the largest internal organ in the body; its function is similar to a sewage plant within the body system, collecting and neutralizing powerful foreign toxins as they appear. The liver also acts as a blood filter, removing harmful substances in the blood and digestive system. Eventually, the liver neutralizes these poisons and removes them via/by way of urine, feces and sweat. This natural process of detoxification is working continuously.

Unfortunately, the liver has a limited capacity for detoxification and can be overwhelmed. The American Liver Foundation found that over 25 million Americans have liver problems and approximately 20,300 Americans die each year from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Liver damage is a silent health killer, however, in most situations, it can be corrected if the condition has been diagnosed and treated early.

An overwhelmed liver may flood the body with toxic chemicals that can damage our other organs. This may cause the body to go into a "toxic shock". Our entire physical well-being and longevity are tied to the health of the liver. The liver and body cells know how to heal themselves. Yet this healing process needs the help of antioxidants and herbs which aid detoxification.
There is another type of toxin in our bodies that is created naturally during our bodies’ energy production. This toxin is called "free radicals." Free radicals are the root cause of oxidation which may ultimately cause diseases and premature aging if not they are not properly addressed. Free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron and search our bodies for one to "steal." Free radicals attack and ultimately damage our fundamental cellular molecules including DNA and may eventually damage the whole body.
