Synopsis

Ayurveda translates into knowledge (Veda) of life (Ayur) and is one of the oldest and still widely practiced medical systems in the Indian subcontinent. The concept of ayurvedic medicine is to promote health, rather than to fight disease, and Ayurveda in daily life aims at maintaining harmony between nature and the “individual” to ensure optimal health. Appropriate food, sleep, and sexual activity are three pillars of good health, with emphasis on personal hygiene, massage, and exercise. The disruption of this harmony leads to disease, and reversal of the steps that produce disease is the main therapeutic approach. Ayurveda is a highly systematized medical system resting on proven theories and thousands of years of documented clinical observations with unbroken and successfully continuing clinical practices. Despite these, proper recognition and appreciation have been denied for ayurveda. One of the major criticisms is its use of a language seen to be archaic and of terms that do not relate to the modern scientific terminologies that one is familiar with.
