About

Ayurveda is an ancient medical science which was developed in our country thousands of years ago. It is believed ayurveda was passed to humans from the Gods themselves. The ancient Vedic literature written down thousands of years ago has laid out instructions to maintain health as well as fight illness through herbal therapies, massages, herbal medicines, diet control and exercise.

Ayurveda names three elemental substances, the doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and states that a balance of the doshas results in health, while imbalance causes disease.

The canonical components of Ayurveda are derived from classical Sanskrit literature, in which Ayurveda was called "the science of eight components". The components are:

• Kayachikitsa (general medicine): "cure of diseases affecting the body".
• Kaumāra-bhṛtya and Bala Roga: deals with the treatment of children.
• Shalya tantra deals with surgical techniques.
• Śālākya-tantra (ophthalmology) deals with diseases of the teeth, eye, nose, ear etc.
• Bhuta-vidya deals with the causes, which are not directly visible and not directly explained by tridosha, pertaining to micro-organisms or spirits.
• Agada-tantra deals with antidotes to poison.
• Rasayana-tantra (Geriatrics)/(Anti Agings) : deals with rejuvenation.
• Vajikarana tantra (aphrodisiacs) deals with healthy and desired progeny.
