Ayurvedic medicine has the ability to reach out and treat the root cause of a health problem thereby preventing recurrences. Its ability to purify the body and cleanse the systems is more effective than most new age medicines and therapies.
Expounded by the spiritual sages, Ayurvedic treatments are based on the balance of Panchamahabhutas or the 5 elements of the body, i.e. earth, water, fire, wind and ether. These elements combine to form tridoshas ( vaata, pitta, kapha ) or the three major forces that govern the functions of our body; even a slight imbalance in these elements causes ailments.
Ayurvedic treatments and medicines work on building a strong foundation, as it focuses on creating a strong immune system and thus prevention of diseases. Each human being is believed to have a unique combination of the tridoshas, and Ayurveda provides the key to acquire the right balance of tridosh for each person. |

The other important principles of Ayurveda include:
• Dhatus - the basic body tissues
• Mala - the waste products of body
• Agni - the digestive fire or a form of the pitta dosh

Naturopathy |

The human body is comparable to a machine and all parts are interconnected for achieving a special function in the larger scheme of things. Due to unhealthy living and negative thoughts, we disturb the functioning and the healing mechanisms of the body, thereby interrupting the natural rejuvenation process. Only the right balance between the physical and mental aspects of life can help heal or prevent ailments.
Naturopathy is an alternative stream of medicine that fuses nature-based cures with the body's self-healing abilities. A gift from the western world, Naturopathy was practiced in ancient Greece, and rediscovered in the 20 th century.
Naturopathy treatments and naturopathy medicines are based on the two main concepts:
• Holistic healing i.e. treating the whole existence and not just the body or the mind
• And the premise that the body has the ability to heal itself
Naturopathy treatments work on the root-cause of the ailment and not just the symptoms. Naturopathy uses healthy nutritious food as medication, and promotes positivity and environment-based changes as treatments and cures. |
