How can we uplift our Life by
Indian system of healing?

The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words
ayus, meaning life or lifespan, and veda meaning
knowledge.
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, according to
Ayurvedic beliefs, each person has a distinct pattern of energy - a specific combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics

AIM
The aim of this system is to prevent illness, heal the sick and preserve life. This can be summed up as follows:
• To protect health and prolong life ("Swasthyas swasthya rakshanam")
• To eliminate diseases and dysfunctions of the body
("Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha")

5 elements theory
(Body Constitution)
Ayurveda is based on the premise that the universe is made up of five elements: air,fire, water, earth and ether. These elements are represented in humans by three
"doshas", or energies:
1.
Vata:- pertains to air and ether elements
2.
Pitta :- pertains to fire elements
3.
Kapha:- pertains to water and earth elements.

5 elements theory
(Body Constitution)
When any of the doshas accumulate in the body beyond the desirable limit, the body loses its balance. Every individual have unique body constitution (Vata Pita Kapha) and each person is diagnosed as per his/her Body constitution

Definition of health according to Ayurveda
A healthy person, as defined in Sushrut
Samhita, one of the primary works on Ayurveda, is "he whose doshas are in balance, appetite is good, all tissues of the body and all natural urges are functioning properly, and whose mind, body and spirit are cheerful..."
