Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurveda means "the science of life". It does not focus on the disease but rather on keeping a person healthy.Ayurveda views a human being as a microcosm of the universe. If the "life force" or prana is unbalanced, disease follows.
Three forces or doshas determine the proper balance of prana. They include Pitta, the force of heat and energy; Kapha, the role of water and tides; and Vata, linked to the wind. Their subtle alignment of mind, body and spirit produces health.
To maintain the body's equilibrium, dietary changes, yoga, meditation, herbs, massage, and possibly chanting will be recommended. These lifestyle suggestions are always unique to the individual.
