Ayurveda is considered as the oldest and holistic medical system of the world. The Sanskrit word “Ayurveda” is composed by two Sanskrit words one is “Ayus” that means life and another word “Veda” means knowledge. So “Ayurveda” preaches the proper knowledge of life.
The main goal of Ayurveda is
Swasthasyaswasthyarakshanam
Athurasyavicaraprashamanam cha
To protect health of the healthy, and to cure the disease of the diseased
The panchakarma therapy or the 5 fold purification techniques are used to ensure the above.
The 5 fold purification therapy used in ayurveda to treat Doshas.
A dosha (doṣa), according to Ayurveda, is one of three bodily humors that make up one's constitution. These teachings are also known as the Tridosha theory.
The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humours or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
- Vata (wind) is the impulse principle necessary to mobilize the function of the nervous system. It affects the windy humour, flatulence, gout, rheumatism, etc
- Pitta is the bilious humour, or that secreted between the stomach and bowels and flowing through the liver and permeating spleen, heart, eyes, and skin; its chief quality is heat.[3] It is the energy principle which uses bile to direct digestion and hence metabolism.
- Kapha is the body fluid principle which relates to mucus, lubrication, and the carrier of nutrients
All Ayurvedic physicians believe that these ancient ideas, based in the knowledge discovered by the Rishis and Munis, exist in harmony with physical reality. These Ayurvedic concepts allow physicians to examine the homeostasis of the whole system. People may be of a predominant dosha prakruti (constitution), but all doshas have the basic elements within them.

Ayurveda has developed magnificent treatments for renewing body and deeply centering and settling the mind. When the mind is deeply centered and settled, the body will naturally heal faster and age slower. Many of the treatments involve use of therapeutic oils and decoctions that have rare and prescious herbs that have been prepared in specific samayoga or combinations to have a profoundly healing effect. The combination of up to 50 or more ingredients in many of the preparations , creates a remarkable effect when applied on specific points by our therapists.
