Ayurveda is a system of
medicine which doesn’t need any introduction. It has been in use since the time
of Vedas and maybe even before that. It is
written in the Ayurvedic texts that gods imparted the knowledge of
Ayurveda to humans.
Evidence can be found that the Ayurvedic system was ahead of
its time and surgical procedures like rhinoplasty and extraction of kidney
stones got done.
Ayurveda emphasizes on achieving a balance, and even the
natural urges are advised to be followed
in moderation. According to Ayurveda, the human body is made up of seven
primary tissues namely – Blood, muscles, fat, bone, marrow and semen. A particular emphasis on the three elemental
substances called the doshas is given,
and their unbalance results in the diseases. A view in Ayurveda is that the
doshas are balanced when equal while another state that each human has a
different combination of doshas which define their characteristics.
Ayurveda healing course gives particular emphasis on balancing of
doshas in the human body. The doctors in Ayurveda regard physical existence,
mental existence and personality as a single unit for treatment.
Indian government since
the independence have taken significant steps to improve the condition of
Ayurveda in India. In 1970, the Indian Medical Central Council Act was passed in the parliament of India. As of
2013, India has over 180 training centres offer degrees in traditional
Ayurvedic medicine, and according to a study, 432,625 registered professionals
practice here. Another reason to study
Ayurveda in India is the authentic practices which are taught here. The traditions which got incorporated in Ayurveda
outside of the Indian subcontinent are just for the commercialisation.
