Benefit of Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word, which means the ‘Knowledge of Life’ (‘Ayu’ means ‘life’ and ‘Veda’ means ‘knowledge’). Ayurveda and Ayurvedic medicines were created by God Dhanvantri, an Avatar of Indian god ‘Lord Vishnu’, also known as the physician of Gods. Ayurveda is one of the most ancient holistic medical systems. It has extensive documentation and is considered safe and efficient.

Ayurveda can be defined as a system, which uses the inherent principles of nature, to keep a person’s body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium. To create a state of holistic health for every individual, thereby creating a healthy society is the eventual goal of Ayurveda. Ayurveda considers that there are three Doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and every individual is either a combination of these three or one dosha. All the metabolic activities of an individual are governed by these three doshas, which keeps adjusting with the changes of nature.

The most beneficial aspect of Ayurveda is that it focuses on the causes rather than the symptoms of the problem/illness. The study before administering medicine takes into account the individual’s daily routine, diet, different body parts such as nails, tongue, face, eye, etc. as well, rather than just looking at the visible symptoms. To heal the body and augment the mind & soul, treatments are precisely planned and include various Ayurvedic medicines, diet and lifestyle changes. The unique rejuvenating and longevity enhancing method of ‘rasayana’ was born out of Ayurveda to take mankind on the path of spirituality.
Ayurveda is being widely recognized as an alternate of modern medicine. More and more people from all over the world are looking for various Ayurveda packages in India.

The Ayurveda packages in India are customized for every individual, based on their dosha, requirements and needs. For rejuvenation and illnesses, Abhyanga, Shiro-dhara, Navarakizhi, Panchakarma etc. are offered. Abhyanga improves concentration, intelligence, confidence and youthfulness.

Navarakizhi (Rice pudding massage) is the most rejuvenating and relaxing treatment in which the patient is anointed with suitable medicated oil all over the body and is massaged with boluses of Navara in seven different postures. This treatment is useful in all kinds of rheumatism, paralysis, polio congenital deformity of limbs, dislocation of bones and joints etc. The main indications are all types of diseases of nervous system, chronic rheumatic diseases, pain in joints, emaciation of limbs and diseases borne of vitiated blood.

Panchakarma (Detoxification, Cleansing & Body Purification) is considered very useful for rejuvenation. The constant metabolic activities in the body result in toxins/free radicals which damage the body cells resulting in wear and tear of the body leading to aging.
