What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life. Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness, Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and the environment. Ayurveda treatment starts with an internal purification process, followed by a special diet, herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. The concepts of universal interconnectedness, the body's constitution (prakriti), and life forces (doshas) are the primary basis of ayurvedic medicine. Goals of treatment aid the person by eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing resistance to disease, reducing worry, and increasing harmony in life. Herbs and other plants, including oils and common spices, are used extensively in Ayurvedic treatment. In India, Ayurveda is considered a form of medical care, equal to conventional Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, and homeopathic medicine. Practitioners of Ayurveda in India undergo state-recognized, institutionalized training. Currently, Ayurvedic practitioners are not licensed in the United States, and there is no national standard for Ayurvedic training or certification. However, Ayurvedic schools have gained approval as educational institutions in some states. Ayurveda can have positive effects when used as a complementary therapy in combination with standard, conventional medical care.

THE ADVANTAGES OF AYURVEDA
Ashtangahridayam, the authorized user friendly voracious text of Ayurveda, compiled by the Vagbhatananta is seldom used anywhere in the world as it is vastly done in Kerala. The Vaidyas of Kerala are extra talented in this most ancient treatise of Ayurveda which many scholars prefer an innovation over the prior samhitas of Charaka and Sushruta, the originators of Ayurveda. It is in Kerala that Kashaya Chikitsa (treatment with concoction) has come to be as a ranked protocol including hundreds of Kashayams that were scientifically categorized and organized in accordance with several treatment needs. Keralite Vaidyas were the first to concentrate on the anti oxidant properties of Abhyangam leading to the profusion of Kizhis.
