Principles of Ayurved

Maharishi Ayurveda, preached by the great saints of India, does not speak only about physical health. The concept of Ayurveda is truly relevant to spiritual health too. This is easily discernible from the basic principles of ayurveda which talk about the five fundamental elements called pancha mahabhutas (akash, vayu, agni, jal and prithvi), from which all living and non living objects are made. Not only this, ayurvedic principles also disclose the tridoshas- vata, pitta and kapha- the imbalance of whom lead to various diseases and discomforts. Ayurveda India also gives supreme importance to Purusha. Purusha in Ayurveda is the 'Atman' or the higher self, which is nothing but pure consciousness. It is the sense of self which makes us feel alive. It is this sense that distinguishes us from mere objects. Ayurved also gives detailed explanation of various physiological process like 'ahaar pachan' or food digestion.
