Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the medical science of longevity. Known as the most comprehensive
science of healing, Ayurveda was established on very high ethical principles
and purity. This science addresses every aspect of daily living from a
healthful perspective.
According to Ayurveda, self-awareness is the main pre-requisite to all healing.
Ayurvedic therapies help to increase your awareness to how your diet, your
relationships, and your daily life impact your health and happiness. Ayurveda
helps us re-balance our lives by removing excesses and resolving deficiencies
in our lifestyle.
Our health and happiness is influenced by 3 major factors:
1. Ignoring our own conscience. In happy times, our thinking
is aligned with the higher values of life. When this harmony is lost and the
mind goes off on a tangent away from honesty, we lose our inner sense of comfort.
We are no longer at ease with our self. According to Ayurveda, this is how
disease begins.
2. Unwholesome and imbalanced use of the five senses. According
to Ayurveda, it is the overexertion, over-stimulation, and improper use of
our mind and senses that further leads us to feeling more alienated from our
own sense of peace and contentment.
3. Weather and Climate. In ancient times, the weather definitely
provided challenges to our health. In modern times, the artificial climates
of our home and office can shock our system when we move from our air conditioned
home into the scalding heat of the backyard. Furthermore, the lack of natural
humidity in these artificial environments effects our attitudes and our vigor.
