Ayurveda being a very ancient system has its origin around 600 BC in India. It is a medical system which understands the diseases as the imbalance of the body’s three humors such as the ‘Vata’ or the nerve energy, the ‘Pitta’ or the catabolic fire energy and the ‘Kalpha’ or the anabolic nutritive energy. The Ayurvedic treatments are person specific rather than disorder specific using mixes of natural herbs as medicine. Ayurveda believes in the concept that prevention is better than cure. In Ayurveda, purification and detoxification, dietary changes, body massages and meditation are used to promote health and prevent and treat illness. The medicines of Ayurveda are rapidly gaining acceptance all over the world as they have no side effects.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Medicines
By using Ayurvedic and herbal medicines you ensure physical and mental health without side effects. The natural ingredients of herbs help bring “arogya” to human body and mind. ("Arogya" means free from diseases). The chemicals used in preparing allopathic medicines have impact on mind as well. One should have allopathic medicine only when it is very necessary.

According to the original texts, the goal of Ayurveda is prevention as well as promotion of the body’s own capacity for maintenance and balance.

Ayurvedic treatment is non-invasive and non-toxic, so it can be used safely as an alternative therapy or alongside conventional therapies.

Ayurvedic physicians claim that their methods can also help stress-related, metabolic, and chronic conditions.

Ayurveda has been used to treat acne, allergies, asthma, anxiety, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, colds, colitis, constipation, depression, diabetes, flu, heart disease, hypertension, immune problems, inflammation, insomnia, nervous disorders, obesity, skin problems, and ulcers.
