Ayurveda is eternal and never remains static. Ayurveda adapts to the needs of time. It is the knowledge of, which is important, and not the language or the form in which it is applied. Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India over 4000 years ago; it is the science of life.

We are all a part and parcel of nature. Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with nature and utilize the laws of nature to create health and balance for their beings, we, too, adhere to these very same principles. Therefore it is fair to say that Ayurveda is a system that helps maintain a person’s health. It uses the inherent principles of nature to bring the individual back into an equilibrium with their true self. Ayurveda is not a historical relic, which had its relevance in the past. It is important for us now and in the future.

Health does not run any course; rather it is a condition that depends, not only on the resistance and adaptability of the body, but on ones entire personality. We cannot achieve well being of the body and of the mind by eliminating different types of infections, nor can the doctor write a prescription for holistic health. This can only be done by making the best of life’s ups and downs, by adopting a sensible regimen, by relaxing when under stress, by cultivating harmonious human relationships and by finding a meaningful life. Therefore, the onus of getting well and staying well is on the patient, the person himself, each individual. Health is not something that can be purchased. These external healing factors can do no more than help or hinder us. The true healer lies within us and with a higher power. This realization has always been inherent in Ayurveda, from the description of etiopathogenesis to the management of our disease. Our mode of life and our attitudes are the most crucial factors in the occurrence of a disease, as well as the choices we make that determine our way of life. According to Ayurveda, there is no specific drug or any specific treatment that can be used in every patient that has the same disease. We will survive only if we make fundamental changes in our life style and in the way we think. Qualitative values must overweigh quantitative measurements. The universe or the man is more than the sum of its parts. The qualitative values are exceedingly important in Ayurveda, which means that becoming involved with this system of medicine or way of life that will probably require a paradigm shift so we change the way we think. This is necessary step and very important first step for us to take today

Ayurveda advocates simple, natural, preventive and therapeutic measures for keeping and restoring us to good health. In an ideal setting, each person would lead a life that accelerates his or her personal development, ensures pleasant social relationships and makes all of those choices that would ensure a healthy disease-free life
