Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is the art of good life and gentle healing. It is made up of two Sanskrit words, ayus, meaning "life and veda, meaning "knowledge" or "science". When this theoretical wisdom becomes a part of our day to day life, a part of our very self, it matures into an art and will guide us at every stage of our existence and while following it's principles grant us the highest quality of life. The simple, yet complex thesis of Ayurveda is based on the fact that everything in nature, including ourselves, consists of the same building blocks, the proto-elements. Too much or too little of any of these materials may disturb the natural equilibrium in nature as well as of our organism and eventually lead to disease or decay. Adding such elements that are of opposite character to the aggravated ones will restore the homeostasis or healthy balance. This sounds amazingly simple. In fact, it is quiet easy to maintain good health by following this principle. However, in unhealthy conditions it requires great skill of the physician to analyze the exact status of the elements. That is why patients with the same affliction may be treated with divergent therapies. Contemporary Pancakarma. The entire therapeutics of internal medicine (Kayacikitsa) can be classified into six generic groups of possible actions that a physician takes to treat a diseased condition. They are lightening, nourishing, drying, unctuous, fomentation and astringent therapies. This classification also includes the Pancakarma treatment which is not only a major therapeutic component of Ayurveda, but is the fundamental basis of treatment in this system. It seems, that over the passage of time, the practice of Pancakarma therapy declined. Possibly, because of its radical approach and cumbersome methodology. Physicians started to treat their patients with the help of drugs and diet alone. Consequently, Pancakarma almost disappeared. However, in Kerala, South India, Pancakarma not only survived but was further developed. Today, these therapies bear distinctive differences from the classical Pancakarma of Caraka and are better known as Keraliya-Pancakarma or Kerala Specialties. They are a very remarkable achievement of the Kerala physicians and have proved very efficient in the treatment of chronic, psychosomatic and neuro-psychiatric ailments. Based on our clinical experience during the last decade in Europe, where we have treated thousands of patients, we have made many necessary changes in our treatment procedures. Hence we term our approach as Contemporary-Pancakarma. Vastu or Vedic Geomancy The atmosphere or the space around us contains different kinds of energies, like cosmic rays, magnetic waves and bioelectric waves. When a part of this space is enclosed by a house, it becomes a living organism. It throbs, vibrates or pulsates just like a living entity. Because of the different direction impact of these energy waves on the human body the inhabitants of the house may benefit if they are made to enter our bodies in a balanced measure. The science of orienting our bodies and the buildings we reside and work in towards these fields and cosmic rays, in accordance with the methodologies laid down in Yajurveda, is known as Vastu or Vedic Geomancy. For the good of our patients we have constructed our SEVA AYURVEDA CLINIC incorporating important Vastu principles.
