Ayurveda represents the ancient Indian art of healing. The basic principle of Ayurveda has remained same through thousands of years. In Ayurveda, human body is not considered just as a mass of organs, systems and tissues; but the complex mechanism' of myriad functions taking place both at physical and mental level are evaluated and described. In order to explain the functional complexity of human body, Ayurveda propounded few basic doctrines. These doctrines visualize the functional units of the body to be formed by three Dosha (humours), seven Dhatu (tissues) and Mala (metabolic end products) which are in equilibrium during health.The human body is more complex than any other form of life as on date. Purusha -the Human body is the aggregate of 25 elements, together with Atma -the spirit or soul. All ayurvedic studies conducted on herbal and holistic medicine in ancient India followed from the fountainhead of the two principle Ayurvedic schools.
The School of Physicians (Atreya) and the School of Surgeons (Dhanvantari) epitomized the eight main areas of Ayurvedic studies and specialization during ancient times. The details of these eight branches of this natural alternative medicine are present in the three ancient Ayurvedic texts of: Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita and Astanga Hridaya. One of the important principle of Ayurveda treatment is that , treatment is given not only to the ailments or the affected part, but to the person as a whole. This creates an enviornment for purifying your body naturally, which eliminates all toxic imbalances from your body, enabling you to regain natural resistance from diseases and attain good health
