Ayurveda
Ayurveda an unique and old medical system documented in the Rig Veda had been written over 5,000 years ago in Ancient India. In the Rig Veda, numbers of preparation had been mentioned that it can be used to assist an individual in overcoming various ailments.

Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words: Ayu which means life (The ancient Ayurvedic scholar Charaka explained "ayu" is comprised of four essential parts. The combination of mind, body, senses and the soul). and Veda which means the knowledge of. This unfailing system of treatment is based on medicines prepared from herbal plants.
Functioning of Ayurvrda
Ayurveda sees each person as a unique mixture that accounts for our different nature. We are all made up of unique proportions of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These ratios of the doshas vary in each individual. Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with nature and utilize the Laws of Nature to create health and balance within their beings, we, too, adhere to these very same principles. In nut shell Ayurveda has been in existence since the beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature's laws.

In Ayurveda we view a person as a unique individual made up of five primary elements. The elements are ether (space), air, fire, water, and earth. Just as in nature, we too have these five elements in us. When any of these elements are present in the environment, they will in turn have an influence on us. The foods we eat and the weather are just two examples of the presence of these elements. While we are a composite of these five primary elements, certain elements are seen to have an ability to combine to create various physiological functions.
Basics of Ayurveda
Ether and air combine to form what is known in Ayurveda as the Vata dosha. Vata governs the principle of movement and therefore can be seen as the force which directs nerve impulses, circulation, respiration, and elimination.

Fire and water are the elements that combine to form the Pitta dosha. The Pitta dosha is the process of transformation or metabolism. The transformation of foods into nutrients that our bodies can assimilate is an example of a pitta function. Pitta is also responsible for metabolism in the organ and tissue systems as well as cellular metabolism.
The water and earth elements which combine to form the Kapha dosha. Kapha is what is responsible for growth, adding structure unit by unit. Another function of the Kapha dosha is to offer protection. Cerebral-spinal fluid protects the brain and spinal column and is a type of Kapha found in the body. The mucousal lining of the stomach is another example of the Kapha dosha protecting the tissues.
Ayurveda worldwide
In the recent years this ancient knowledge system of medicine had gained global acceptance especially for alternative ways of rejuvenative, preventive, and curative processes making life a more pleasurable experience.

The effective healing system known as Panchakarma has its own identity in Ayurveda is highly demanding globally. The therapeutic management involved with Pancha Karma covers many aspects and is designed to achieve increased efficiency of medicines, foods and rasayanas (tonics). Before medicine, food or rejuvenative tonics are taken, it is essential that the body become receptive so that it is capable of absorbing and assimilating what is being taken and that the accumulated wastes and toxins are eliminated.

An analogy of this would be if one tries to dye cloth that is heavily soiled and dirty the dye will not take very well; however, if the same cloth was properly cleaned then dyed the dye would work beautifully. In addition this therapy greatly enhances one's natural immunity thereby providing additional protection from many diseases and disorders.
Recommendations of Ayurveda
• Its recommendations are often different for each person regarding which foods and which lifestyle they should follow in order to be completely healthy. This is due to it's use of a constitutional model.

• Everything in Ayurveda is validated by observation, inquiry, direct examination and knowledge derived from the ancient texts.

• It understands that there are energetic forces that influence nature and human beings. These forces are called the Tridoshas.

• Ayurveda sees a strong connection between the mind and the body.
