Some basics of Ayurvedic medicine
Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurveda
In Hinduism, the three gods that constitute the Sacred Trinity (trimurti) are known as Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Preserver), and Shiva (the Destroyer). These divinities acquire different personifications (incarnations) for different purposes and among Vishnu’s incarnations one comprises Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurvedic philosophy.
Legend alleges that when the oceans of the world were being created by the gods, Dhanvantari arose out of the depths carrying a jar filled with the nectar of immortality that could cure all diseases and began to instruct the artistry of Ayurveda's science - for wellness and health. Statues of him can be found in many Ayurvedic hospitals and clinics and he is worshipped by Hindus for Dhanvantari healing powers.
Ayurveda - origins
Ayurveda (Ayurvedic medicine) is an complex system of curing that started in India thousands of years ago. It is possible to find historic evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient records of wisdom known as Vedas. In the Rig Veda, over 60 formulations are mentioned that can be used to assist any individual in getting over various ills. The Rig Veda was written over 6,000 years ago, but Ayurveda in reality has been just about even longer than that. It is easy to see that Ayurveda is further than just a medical system. It indeed is a Science of Life. We are all component and share of nature. Just as all the creatures live in harmony with nature and apply the Laws of Nature to create health and balance in- and outside, humans, too, should adhere to the same principles. Hence, it is reasonable to say that Ayurveda is the system that helps maintain health for everybody - by applying the integral principles of nature to bring the person back into balance. Essentially Ayurveda has been in existence since the beginning of human race because we all have always been regulated according to nature's laws.
Simple explanations
Ayurveda is a arrangement of wholistic (holistic) practice of medicine from India that uses an integral model. It's aim is to provide counseling concerning food as well as lifestyle so that people in good shape can stay healthy and those with health problems can improve their condition.
Aspects that make Ayurveda rather unique:
Recommendations according to Ayurveda's system laws often are significantly dissimilar for each person concerning which foods and what lifestyle they had better adopt in order to be completely healthy. This flows from it's use of a inherent model. Everything in Ayurveda is comprised by observation, inquiry, direct examination and cognition gained from the ancient texts. There exists a basic apprehension that there are energetic forces, influencing nature in total as well as humans particularly. These forces are called the Tridoshas.
Since in Ayurveda there is considered a firm association between the spirit (mind) and the body, a vast amount of data is in stock concerning this relationship.
