In Ayurveda treatment
consists of four basic forms, namely - medicine or drug therapy,
pancha (five) karma (actions/systems), dietary regime and regulation
of lifestyle. It works in two fundamental ways - cure and prevention.
The preventive aspect of treatment is further subdivided into swastha
varta (personal hygiene) - consisting of dinacharya (daily routine),
ritucharya (seasonal corrections) and sadachara (appropriate behaviour)
- rasayana & vajikarana(rejuvenation&virlification)andyoga.
The Ayurvedic curative aspect consists of three parts antati parimaijana
(internal medicine) - consisting of samsodhana (internal purification
through panchakarma) and samsamana

as massage,use of pastes & powders and finally surgical treatment.
The deep cleansing
process, unique to Ayurveda, which enables the body to release excess
doshas and toxins from its cells and expel them is called Panchakarma,
which basically denotes detoxification or elimination of toxins
from the body. Although the human body is considered as a great,
intelligent, natural healing system capable of rejuvenating itself,
the formation of toxins reduces this natural capacity. It is then
that Panchakarma plays a crucial role in that correction.

History
During the 500-600 B.C., Agasthya, Charaka, Sushrutha, Kashyapa,
etc. the very knowledgeable philosophers churned from the vedas
the references to all illness, diseases, drug-medicines and compiled
the samhitas. It is from this samhitas that the physicians later
absorbed the knowledge of Ayurveda and applied them for Preventing
as well as curing illness. Ayurveda is not only the ancient Indian
science of preventative health and healing but also a philosophy
of living.

Philosophy
Ayurveda removes the cause of disease and re-establishes balance
to our system. According to Ayurveda, we are composed of three bodies
physical, astral, causal ie body, mind and soul. The earth existed
billions of years before our arrival, which is mere three and a
half million years ago. As our planet ages and we grow in universal
wisdom & come to know the beauty of cosmic magnetism among all life
forms.
