AYURVEDIC TREATMENT IN INDIA

When it comes to Ayurvedic Treatment, India is the ideal place by people across the world because of its holistic approach and authentic therapies. Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine that dates back to more than two millennia and has millions of followers and practitioners across the world is believed to have been passed from Gods. Dhanwantri or Divodasa was the name of the sage who was given the knowledge of Ayurveda, who, in turn, passed the same to the other practitioners. This ancient system of medicine is still being practised across the globe and has different regional elements to it, for example, Indian, Greek, Chinese, and lots more. India was the place of origin of Ayurveda, and, currently, has many distinct regional aspects across the various States like Rajasthan, Kerala & Karnataka. Of all the places, the Himalayan belt and India have still retained the original and unabridged essence of Ayurveda intact for generations. 

Ayurveda – A brief overview:

As per Ayurveda, there are three Doshas or body dispositions, namely –Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When all three of them are balanced, the body stays in a healthy condition. Aggravation or alleviation of any one or more of these Doshas leads to diseases. Further, in Ayurveda, all the diseases are linked to the food we consume and our digestive system, and almost all of the diseases originate in the stomach or Jathar. If you eat stale food; highly spicy food; deep-fried and too greasy food and foods that are opposing in nature together, your body Doshas get disturbed or imbalanced leading to various diseases. This is why Ayurvedic treatment packages and therapies in Kerala play a high importance on lifestyle and diet for complete recovery.

Further, in Ayurveda, if you eat foods that aggravate or alleviate your body disposition, your health will falter. For example, a person with Kapha disposition should refrain from eating cold foods in general, and especially in the winter season. This will lead to cold, cough, fever, body aches, stomach-ache and runny nose etc. Similarly, a person with Pitta disposition should eat bland and natural or whole foods. Eating spicy, processed or fried foods will lead to acidity, heartburn, digestive disorders and may have adverse effects on kidneys and liver. 

So, all in all, as per Ayurveda, all diseases start with the food you eat and the kind of lifestyle you have. In fact, the reputed practitioners also believe that your thought process, sleep patterns, entertainment preferences and your behaviour also have a strong influence and impact on your health. 

Having grasped the basic overview of Ayurveda, let us move ahead and find out some more interesting facts.
