Philosophy of Ayurveda by Dr Ayurveda Official

Philosophy of Ayurveda by Dr Ayurveda Official
The integrity of Ayurveda is that it personalizes the healing process. It perceives each and every person as a unique individual, with a unique body-mind constitution (genetic composition) and a Unique set of life circumstances, all of which must be considered in determining either natural healing approaches or recommendations for daily living.
The principle of Ayurvedic science is predominantly based on the 'Tridosha theory' and the 'Pancha Mahabhuta Theory'. These theories explain that the body is primarily composed of the five elements of the universe and all diseases occur due to the imbalance of the three vital forces (Doshas) of the body that are responsible for maintaining the equilibrium of health.
Ayurveda works upon mitigating this imbalance by channelizing nature's energy and resource after analyzing the body constitution and advises the apt line of treatment. It offers specific guidance to each individual on lifestyle, diet, exercise and yoga, herbo-mineral therapy, Panchakarma therapy, Rasayana therapy and even spiritual practices to restore and maintain balance in body and mind.

Let's get to know about Samanavata in details:
One of the important functions of the living being is to ingest food, digest and assimilate it to maintain life and also the mass of the body. Samanavata participates in some of these processes.

Location:
All authorities have stated that the Samanavata is located near the seat of Agni (digestive fire). Charaka stated that it is also located in the channels of Sweda, Dosha and Ambu.

Functions:
The main function of the Samana is the stimulation of the Agni and Pachakapitta (a subtype of Pitta which assists with digestion). The Samana stimulates the Antaragni (another name for digestive fire) to digest the food eaten in the proper amount and proper time, which leads to an increase in lifespan and after the digestion is completed, it then helps in the separation of the nutrients from the residue. It governs the peristaltic movements.

Why Ayurveda - Explanation by Dr Ayurveda

Why Ayurveda - Explanation by Dr Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a system of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It’s widely used by people across India and other parts of Asia, both on its own and in conjunction with Western medicine.
Ayurveda is a natural and safe approach to health and well-being, suitable for anyone of any age. It aims to:
1. Treat and cure existing diseases.
2. Strengthen your immune system and your body’s ability to heal itself.
3. Help you maintain a natural, balanced state in both body and mind.

How Ayurveda is different to Western medicine:
Modern medicine attempts to treat and remove the symptoms of illness, rather than treat the person suffering from the symptoms. This stems from the view that we are all more or less the same.
In Ayurveda, the human body is considered to be a combination of five basic elements. These elements are influenced by three vital forces and the balance between these forces is seen as the key to good health. Each person is recognized as an individual and therefore receives a personal treatment and healing plan.

For example, we believe taking synthetic medicine, which can have harmful side-effects, is not a viable long-term solution for chronic conditions. Rather, we believe it’s better to focus on the whole person to achieve healing and maintain long-lasting good health.

Go Green and use Ayurveda

We live in a fast paced world with constant changes to the environment and increased use of technology. So it is important to ‘go green’ which also means going back to nature where possible. Nature is beauty and simplicity. Ayurveda is this and uses a natural and holistic approach to one's daily living.

Allopathic medicine:
Allopathic medicine also referred to as modern medicine, is the mainstream medical use of pharmacologically active agents (e.g. Drugs) or physical interventions (e.g. Surgery) to treat or suppress symptoms or Pathophysiologic processes of diseases and conditions.
Allopathic medicine is so popular and convenient since it is fast acting - popping a pill into the mouth when a headache strikes or a niggling pain in the body that won't go away. But is this a long term solution? Surely there is bound to be long term consequences to the internal system. Yes, it has the price to pay with its side effects since it suppresses the symptoms. Allopathic medicines will treat the symptom, but not get to the root of the actual problem. For instance, headache and tiredness could be due to a lack of water intake (dehydration being the root cause) and a painkiller may be prescribed to treat the symptom. In contrast an Ayurvedic physician will look at the root cause to treat the source of the problem rather than just the symptom. If the headache has arisen from indigestion/acidity, Ayurvedic medicines will tackle this first and then the headache.
As allopathic medicines do not provide a cure to a problem, it becomes a vicious cycle of treating the symptoms and suppressing the immune system. For example, long term use of some painkillers can cause inflammation in the stomach lining which can lead to problems associated with acidity and ulcers. The exception is an emergency and serious situations where performing surgery, for instance, would be a necessity that would take precedence.

Whilst allopathic medicine is important to an extent, one has to consider natural approaches where possible to help to keep the body’s immune system strong. Doctors are no longer issuing out antibiotics unless it is absolutely necessary. This is due to increased antibiotic resistance with overuse being one of the reasons.

Ayurvedic medicine:
Ayurveda is the science of life that uses a natural holistic system. It is environmentally friendly. When there is an imbalance in the body and mind, this gives rise to an ailment/illness. There is always a root cause for this. The aim here is to eradicate the problem from the root working on the related areas. There are no side effects and one treatment can benefit another ailment too. Ayurvedic medicines are made up of natural herbs and extracts. They are thought to be slow acting as they have to eradicate not only the condition, but the side effects from the allopathic treatment. It is not just confined to medicine, but considers the overall lifestyle both physically and spiritually. Therefore, aiming towards contentment and optimal well being.
