Ayurveda, Ayurvedic Medical Science and Treatment
What is Ayurveda? What does Ayurveda stand for?
Ayurveda is Sanskrit, and Chinese is generally
translated as Ayurveda or "Life Vedic Medicine". Ayurveda
is Sanskrit, which is composed of two words: Ayur means "life", Veda
means "knowledge", So the word Ayurveda means the science of life.
Ayurveda medicine is not only a medical system, but also represents a healthy
lifestyle. Ayurveda and yoga are sister disciplines and are known as
"Mothers of Medicine". Yoga focuses on the harmony and unity of the
body and mind, while Ayurveda focuses on the balance between the human body and
external nature.
Ayurveda is a traditional natural remedy in India. It has a
history of more than 5,000 years and is considered to be the oldest medical
system in the world. Ayurveda can be said to be an all-encompassing medicine or
science, which includes observation, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
disease, detoxification and renewal of the body, surgery and herbal medicine.
Maintaining energy balance through diet, yoga, meditation, and massage not only
treats illness, but also reduces pain and prevents recurrence.
The Indian medical system includes Ayurveda (also known as Vedas of Life) medicine and Siddha medicine
It is considered the oldest
medical system in the world. It has been used in countless traditional Indian
families for more than 5,000 years. It affects almost all medical systems in
the northern and southern hemispheres, so India's Ayurveda is known as the
"Mother of Medicine".
From the early literature, it can be seen that
Ayurvedic doctors have prophetic opinions on the powerful medical properties of
plants, and can be said to be the pioneers of modern pharmacology. They also
knew how the body works, and there was even evidence that Dr. Ayurveda had undergone
human surgery.
In addition, this system has also emphasized the importance of
diet and spirituality from ancient times to the present. Ayurveda's shadow can
be seen in Chinese traditional Chinese medicine and the medical method of
Hippocrates, "the father of modern medicine".
"In yoga, we use the body to serve the mind; in
Ayurveda, we heal the body, but this body is not only the physical layer, but
it contains all layers."

What historical origins does Ayurveda have?
Ayurveda traditional medicine dates back to the Vedic era of
the Ayurvedic Vatican Museum in 5000 BC. It is known for the oldest documented
comprehensive medical system in the world.
According to Indian mythology, the
origin of Ayurveda is legendary. It was created by Brahma, the creator of one
of the three major Hindu gods, to protect humans before they were created.
Brahma first taught Ayurveda to the twin twins (Aswins) of the twin gods of
medicine, and they taught them to Indra, the god of thunderstorms. Indra taught
to the wise men who practiced in the world, and they passed on to their
offspring and disciples.
For the first time in history, Ayurvedic records appear in
Rig Veda, an ancient collection of Indian poetry dating back to 6000 BC. From
3000 BC to 2000 BC, Atharva, one of the four Vedic classics, was introduced.
Among them, Ayurveda was a supplement to the Vedic sacred scriptures-Veda,
attached to Awapova. Tuo. Although Ayurvedic medicine has long been used in
practice, it was not until then that it was compiled into a book by word of
mouth and became an independent science.
Around 1500 BC, Ayurveda medicine was divided into two
schools:
Atiyah-the internalist school and Dhanvantari-the externalist school,
making it a more systematic science.
These two colleges have authored two major
books on Ayurveda medicine-Caraka Samhita and Susruta Samhita. Both medical
classics were written in the first half of the 1st century BC.
The Book of
Zoroga was written by the great Indian medical ancestor Zorogar, and was supplemented
and modified by Atiyah. It is still the most widely used medical book in
Ayurveda.
Miaowen inherited the theories of the Vatican school, the ancestor of
Indian medicine. His "Miaowen Collection" compiled various knowledge
of repair surgery, including limb replacement surgery, plastic surgery,
laparotomy and even brain surgery. At the same time, he is also famous for
inventing rhinoplasty.
Ayurveda Medical Classics
Around 500 AD, the third important Ayurvedic medical
work, Astanga Hridaya, was published. It synthesizes the views of the two
universities of Ayurveda. From 500 AD to 1900 AD, 16 important medical
monographs, Nightus, were introduced as supplements to Ayurveda's medical
classics. They collected and recorded various new drugs, expanded their usage,
and discarded old drugs. And material identification methods.
There is evidence that Ayurveda medicine has enriched almost
all medical systems in the world. Through maritime trade with India, the
Egyptians learned about Ayurveda medicine. The invasion of Alexander the Great
brought Greeks and Romans into contact with Ayurveda.
Traditional UNANI
medicine is formed in this communication. In the early years of the first
millennium, with the spread of Buddhism to the east, Ayurveda medicine also
spread to the east, and it has a huge impact on Tibetan medicine and
traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
Origin of Yoga and Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a relatively esoteric and low-key science. Many
people ignore its importance because they do n’t understand it. They do n’t
know that Ayurveda is the only way for yoga people to advance. Ayurveda applies
the principles and exercises of yoga to physical and mental healing and disease
treatment, and teaches yoga practitioners to properly use asanas, breath
adjustments, and meditation according to their own physical and mental types
and health conditions.
Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to show
interest in physical and mental healing and natural remedies. Yoga and
Ayurveda, as one of the oldest spiritual and healing traditions in the world,
are still widely practiced today, and undoubtedly can play an important role in
this regard.
Ayurveda provides a fully compatible and compatible natural
healing system for yoga, including: its understanding of body and mind during
yoga practice, its measurement of body composition, its disease theory and
treatment methods, such as diet, Herbs, detox, etc., it includes all aspects of
yoga.

- Shalya Tantra (Surgery)
- Agada Tantra (Toxicology)
- Bhuta Vidya (psychiatry)
- Kaumarabhritya (Pediatrics)

practicing yoga based on Ayurveda in winter, many people want to systematically
introduce this ancient life science, preferably based on the training of yoga
instructors.
Brief content
Ayurveda and yoga are both ancient life sciences of ancient
India. The two are closely linked and complement each other; they were both
created for the happiness of mankind. Ayurveda focuses on physical well-being.
Yoga is to achieve spiritual happiness and open up awareness.
Ayuhu = Span of Life
Veda = Teaching, the ancient knowledge
According to the philosophy of yoga, our bodies have 5 layers:
- Material layer, also known as food body, thick body
- Life energy layer
- Emotional layer
- Mental layer
- Spiritual layer
The dimensions that Ayurveda focuses on are how subtle energy
in food and beverages affects our bodies, emotions, energy, and thoughts,
rather than physical dimensions such as protein and minerals measured in
western nutrition. Ayurveda believes that these subtle energies come from the
source of the universe. From the place with the highest frequency of vibration,
the energy gradually slows down, forming five major elements such as ether,
air, fire, water, and soil. These elements combine in pairs to form the three
major Dosha duas, namely Vatta / Vata (Vata), Pitta / Pita (Pitta), and Kapha
(Kapha). Each person and even everything in the world is composed of three
major cities Xia in a certain proportion. Our bodies shape Sapta Dhatus (Seven
Major Organizations) through these energies. Sanskrit Sapta, English
translation seven, Chinese translation "seven"; Dhatus / Datus,
English translation tissues, Chinese translation "organization".
The seven major organizations include:
- Rasa Dhatu body fluid (translated as "plasma" in the video, in fact "body fluid" is more commonly used)
- Rakta Dhatu blood tissue
- Masma Dhatu muscle tissue
- Meda Dhatu adipose tissue
- Ashti Dhatu Skeletal Tissue
- Shukra Dhatu Reproductive / Regenerating Tissue
- Prakruti contains a specific proportion of Dosha, which is our innate attributes, qualities, and our "nature".
In addition to nature, there are acquired influences. Food,
lifestyle, what we see and think about, the environment, and the people and
things in our lives will all change our attributes and affect our physical,
emotional, thought, and energy. This is called Vikruti and it is your current
Dosha proportion.
Ayurveda believes that as long as the ratio of the three
major doshas is in balance, we can be physically and mentally healthy,
otherwise disease will occur. Ayurveda is a preventive medical system. It
believes that energy imbalance is the root cause of disease. To prevent
disease, we must pay attention to balance and maintain balance. However, depending
on the environment, lifestyle, eating habits, and stage of life, it is not easy
for most people to maintain balance.
Conclusion

body (physical, psychological, spiritual, energy and other aspects),

reasonable diet, lifestyle, yoga asana meditation Exercises to help you achieve
a balance between body and mind, and minimize the friction that hinders our
spiritual growth. This is why yoga people learn Ayurveda.
