Doctrines of Ayurveda

living and non-living in the universe is a combination of five eternal elements, called’pancha maha bootha’.It is ‘chithanya ‘or ‘spark of life’ or spirit or soul that separate from the non living. These eternal elements manifest themselves in the human body as three or subtle energies or humors known as ‘Tridosha’ in Sanskrit. A balance of the three keeps the body healthy and full of vitality. Imbalance in the ‘Doshas’ occurs due to internal and external causes. Ayurvedic treatment can regaining this balance, it is believed to rejuvenate the body. The treatment imparted could be both internal (Tablets, concoctions, medicated ghee, massaging etc...) and external and has no side effects. The most appropriate time for this treatment is June to November because the atmosphere is dust-free keeping the body pores open. Massage is the common of this treatment.
