Brief Introduction to Ayurveda - The Science of Life
Ayurveda is considered the oldest holistic healing system of mankind and it is primarily a lifestyle
and preventive medical system to maintain people's good health and to prevent disease. If a disease
has occurred, then Ayurveda offers varied assistance, especially for chronic conditions. The person
is treated as a holistic individual and focus is not only on the disease.

What does "healthy" in Ayurveda mean?

In Ayurveda, being healthy means more than just the absence of disease. As per the Sushruta
Samhita, one of the most important traditional Ayurvedic compendia written in Sanskrit the former
Indian language of scientists which still forms the basis for education and healers, one is healthy
when the doshas are in balance, when there is a good appetite, body tissues and metabolism are
balanced and the consciousness, mind and senses are full of happiness. In Ayurveda, less of this
means to be not healthy!

How is Ayurveda different from our university medicine?

Ayurveda puts the individual in his entity into the field of view. This means to consider body and
mind as one entity along with the soul, individual life circumstances and the environment. The base
is the constitution at birth (Prakriti) which determines the physician, and the balance of the three
bio-energies (doshas) Vata, Pitta and Kapha with respect to the individual. They determine the
whole body, the body shape and other characteristics as well as the behaviour.
Many people move away from their original balance due to the circumstances of their lives. This
leads from mood disorders to more serious diseases. The Ayurvedic physician determines the
imbalance of the doshas by the involvement of the symptoms using various methods including
tongue and pulse diagnosis. Today in case of illness, conventional medical findings are also
integrated, for example blood levels and even extend upto to CT if necessary.
After the diagnosis, the initiation of action to recover the balance of the three doshas begins. These
consist of inter alia, diet according to the constitutional type, exercise, breathing exercise and
meditation, oil treatments, sweat baths, medication, and optionally a rejuvenation (Rasajana) or five
detoxification actions (Panchakarma).
What is at the heart of the rising popularity of Ayurvedic medicine?
One is concerned for the sick person, with all one's heart and soul, day and night. (Charaka
Samhita)
Ayurveda is recognized by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the holistic natural medicine. It
addresses the whole person as an individual. An Ayurvedic physician dedicates time to his patients.
An Ayurvedic diagnosis is reasonable for those seeking help. With this, one finds a plausible
description of one's person from a previously unknown perspective, that of the doshas. Doctor and
patient work together. The statements and the logic make it easy for a patient to participate in
regaining his original constitution. With the right type of food for his constitution alone it is possible
for him to contribute much to his own health and wherever possible to try to avoid disease.
What is an ayurvedic massage?
Ayurvedic massage techniques are versatile. There are relaxing, energizing, invigorating, and
relaxing-invigorating massages. With the chosen technique, it comes down to what the goal is; it
also concerns whether the body is to be discharged from harmful substances or the body is to be
nourished.

There are massages for the entire surface and those aimed at vital points. In addition, there are
many slashing and pressing techniques. Whether the massage is done slowly or fast also plays a
role. Everything has its special effect and the masseur or the therapist has to know these
relationships.

One example is the special massage technique that dates back to the Kalari, an ancient martial art
of South India. Knowledge of Kalari was a secret. Training in this technique traditionally takes a
long time and until recently was made available only to select students. There are reasons for this -
in addition to the vital points, one must also know about the mortal points and the therapist must
know how to distinguish between these two accurately.

Traditionally, the learning of martial arts is a prerequisite for this massage training. Teaching of
Yoga too is often required and only then is the preparation for the several years of training in this
massage technique given. Given that such a training is required, one must question how authentic
a Kalari massage does a Western client get if he meets a massage therapist who has attended a only
few weekend courses?

Ayurvedic masseurs and therapists must have knowledge of the products. Oil is not just oil. In
Ayurveda it is essential to know which herbs are contained in the oils. There are oils which are
more than sufficient for wellness treatments, but if more is intended, then they are not enough.
There are oils that are suitable for all three types of constitution and there are those that help to
balance the too strong or too weak dosha.

It does not always have to be oil. There are massages with herbal or seeds powders. These may have
a peeling effect in wellness which they retain in medical treatments too. The purpose of such a dry
massage with crushed herbs or seeds is to increase the capacity of the skin to absorb the
subsequent oil. There are also massages with cotton bags filled with a variety of things - depending
on the targeted effect, it could be rice cooked in a herbal decoction or in milk, or they could be pure
herbal extracts, with or without oil.
Panchakarma
The Ultimate Mind-Body Healing & Detoxification

Panchakarma is the ultimate mind-body healing experience for detoxifying the body, strengthening
the immune system, and restoring balance and well-being. It is one the most effective healing
modality in Ayurvedic Medicine. It promotes Detoxification and Rejuvenation. It is recommended on
a seasonal basis, as well as when an individual feels out of balance or is experiencing illness.

PanchaKarma Rejuvenating Detox

Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means five actions or five treatments. This is a process
used to clean the body of toxic materials left by disease and poor nutrition. Normally the body has
the innate ability to efficiently process and remove these waste materials, including the vitiated
doshas. However due to ones repeated dietary indiscretions, poor exercise patterns, lifestyle, and
genetic predisposition the digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones, and agnis which
regulate the bodys internal homeostasis become disorganized. This can lead to the accumulation
and spread of toxins throughout the physiology resulting in disease. This waste matter is called
ama in Ayurveda. Ama is a foul-smelling, sticky, harmful substance that needs to be completely
evacuated from the body.

Panchakarma will remove the excess doshas and correct imbalances in them as well as eliminate
the harmful ama out of your system through the bodys own organs and channels of elimination
(colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach, intestines, etc). Panchakarma purifies
the tissues at a very deep level. It involves daily massages and oil baths, herbal enemas, nasal
administrations. It is a very pleasurable experience. Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma as a
seasonal treatment for maintaining mental and physical hygiene and balance.

Panchakarma is a five-fold therapy; it is highly individualized based on the needs of the individual
depending on the Ayurvedic constitutional type, doshic imbalances, age, digestive strength, immune
status, and many other factors. Depending on each individuals needs all or only parts of the five
therapies are utilized. Specially trained therapists must administer these procedures in a definite
sequence for a specified period of time. In addition, although Panchakarma is for the most part a
delightful and comfortable therapy, there can be periods of discomfort associated with the profound
release of toxins, which does occur. It is therefore essential that a knowledgeable expert who can
recognize the signs of properly and improperly administered Panchakarma supervise the therapy.
Fortunately these signs were meticulously recorded by the ancient vaidyas.

Like all medical procedures, Panchakarma Therapy always must begin with an initial consultation
by a qualified Ayurvedic Physician who can determine the individuals prakriti (constitutional type),
the nature of the health problem (if any), and the appropriate degree of intensity of the prescribed
therapies.

Panchakarma treatments have been shown to create measurable brain wave coherence and to lower
metabolic activity. They allow the body and mind to drop into a profound level of peacefulness. In
this state of relaxation, it is possible to cleanse toxins from tissues as well as to release deeply held
emotional tensions.

Treatments
Ayurvedic Kalari Massage

Kalari massage blends the body, mind and spirit. It harmonizes the biological system of the body,
enhances the circulation of body fluids and activates the lymphatic system of the body, thus
working as a cleaning agent. Kalari massage is a positive approach to good health. Even if you do
not suffer from any disease you can use it to promote and rejuvenate the body and mind

Abhyanga is an individually prepared herbal-oil massage designed to deeply penetrate the skin,
relax the mind-body, break up impurities, and stimulate both arterial and lymphatic circulation. It
enhances the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and allows for the removal of stagnant waste.
The desired result is a heightened state of awareness that will direct the internal healing system of
the body.

Shirodhara is administered by gently and methodically pouring warm herbalized oil over the
forehead, synchronizing brain waves and profoundly coordinating and calming the mind, body, and
spirit.
Garshana treatments consist of a dry lymphatic skin brushing with either wool or a silk glove. This
enhances circulation and cleans the skin so that subsequent oil and herbal treatments can
penetrate deeply into freshly cleansed pores of the skin.

Swedana is an individually herbalized steam bath, during which the head and the heart are kept
cool while the body is heated to remove mental, emotional and physical toxins lodged deeply within
the tissues. The cool head and heart provide a sense of calm and openness while the therapeutic
steam over the entire body can penetrate and cleanse deeply, without the body becoming
overheated and stressed.

Pizichili is a continuous stream of warm herbalized oil soothingly poured over the body by two
Ayurvedic therapists as they massage the body in perfect unison. The warmth of the oil and
synchronicity of the massage combine for a deep tissue cleansing while supporting a heightened
state of awareness that transcends description.

Udvartana is a deeply penetrating herbal paste lymphatic massage. This powerful exfoliating
treatment magically Restore Your Natural Radiance conditions the skin while pressing stagnant
lymphatic toxins out of the body.

Five Senses Therapy treatment combines the therapeutic effect of all five senses working in concert.
Sound therapies are specific Vedic hymns and mantras recommended for each imbalance. Touch
therapy enlivens specific vital points on the body called marma points. Taste therapy uses certain
herbal medicines. Sight uses Ayurvedic color therapy, and smell is accessed with combinations of
rare aromatics. The effect is a harmonizing of all the senses to bring ones awareness to the source
of thought and feeling within the heart.

Basti is an herbal enema specially prepared to pull toxins out of the colon. This is the final stage of
each daily Panchakarma treatment. The freshly loosened impurities from each day of treatment are
flushed out of the body via the effects of the basti. The basti also transports Ayurvedic medicines
into the blood and tissues in order to trans-form the memory of damaged and toxic cells. It is
considered one of the most important and most powerful aspects of the Panchakarma treatment.

Nasya consists of individually prescribed herbs and oil drops, inhaled through the nose, which clear
the sinuses of excessive mucus. It is also an important therapy when medicating the central
nervous system. This treatment combats the deep dryness that exists at the root of many
respiratory and allergic conditions.

Shiro-Abhyanga-Nasya is a luxurious combination of a deep head/neck/shoulder massage and

facial lymphatic massage, followed by deep inhalation of therapeutic aromatic steam, and a nasal
and sinus nasya with herbalized nose drops. This popular treatment is an invaluable tool balancing
most head, neck and respiratory disorders.

Pinda Swedana is a deep cleansing treatment where rice boiled in milk and herbs is massaged
deeply into the tissues and joints. The treatment is deeply relaxing and .

Panchakarma Detoxifies the Body and Mind

According to ayurveda, good health depends upon our capability to fully metabolize all aspects of
life, assimilating that which nourishes and eliminating the rest. When we cant completely digest
our food, experiences, and emotions, toxins accumulate in our bodily tissues, creating imbalance
and ultimately disease. Panchakarma is an elegant cleansing process that releases stored toxins
and restores the bodys innate healing ability.

When our digestive energies, known as Agni (fire), are robust, we create healthy tissues, eliminate
waste products efficiently, and produce a subtle essence called Ojas. Ojas, which may be envisioned
as the innermost sap of our psychophysiology, is the basis for clarity of perception, physical
strength, and immunity. On the other hand, if our Agni is weakened, digestion is incomplete and
creates toxins that get stored in the body. This toxic residue is known as Ama.

The Foundation for Health and Well-being

When ama accumulates in the body, it blocks the flow of energy, information, and nourishment
throughout the system. Ayurveda considers this build-up of toxins the underlying cause of all
disease. A common example of this is the accumulation of saturated fat and cholesterol that is
beyond the bodys capacity to metabolize. Over time, this leads to the blockage of the blood vessels
and arteries and, ultimately, to heart attacks.

While its easy to understand agni and ama in terms of food, its important to remember that your
mind and heart are continually digesting energy and information as well. Right now your mental
digestive powers are working right now to break down these ideas into components that your
intellect can assimilate. Similarly, your emotional agni is responsible for processing your
experiences and feelings, including the smile of a loved one, unexpected criticism at work, or the
excitement of a new relationship.

Restoring the Bodys Natural Balance

If your emotional agni is strong, you are able to extract whatever is nourishing and eliminate the
rest. The inability to metabolize emotions, however, produces just as much toxic residue as
undigested food. In fact, pent-up anger, long-held sadness, and lingering guilt are more debilitating
for most people than problems with physical digestion.

If we want to experience optimal health, it is crucial to maintain a strong digestive fire and eliminate
toxins from the body. Panchakarma is a time-proven natural therapy that detoxifies and restores
the bodys inner balance and vitality.

Why Should I Undergo Pancha-karma Treatment?

Stress, environmental pollutants and poor lifestyle choices create a toxic load on the body thatif
left in the tissues and bloodstreamresults in poor health.

Panchakarma (PK) reverses this degenerative process quickly and its effects are often profound and
long-lasting. PK uses a combination of massage, herbal saunas, special foods and nutritional
directives, mild fasting and colon therapies to rid the body of accumulated toxins.

Your personal PK program begins with a thorough exam by an Ayurvedic Physician, which enables
the doctor to recommend a program tailored to your individual health. As your PK treatments
progresses, you will be given a special diet combined with certain herbs and essential oils to use at
home. These will help stimulate your liver and digestive organs, helping them to purge toxins.

What Can I Expect?

The Panchakarma cleansing process affects the whole person. Thus, during the program, you may
notice changes on mental, physical and emotional levels. Many of our patients experience a healing
crisis. This is a normal part of the healing process, and may be seen as a beneficial step toward
optimal health.

Ayurveda and Yoga are the important part of Vedic science from thousands of years ago. Ayurveda
and yoga are sister sciences that have been united or thousands of years for the sake of healing
body, mind and soul. Generally speaking Ayurveda deals with the health o the body, while yoga

other.Ayurveda and yoga are both mentioned in the Vedas, which are old Sanskrit documents.

The ancient rishis/Scholars were the original masters of all vedic sciences. They understood that
good health is great asset on path towards self realization .It the body is neglected, it can easily
become an obstacle to spiritual practice . Both yoga and Ayurveda are mutually supportive and
offer many ways to prevent & heal various disorders as well as to cleans and rejuvenate the
body.When you blend the principles of Ayurveda with Yoga you greatly enhance the healing power
of Ayurveda.Complete union of Yoga and Ayurveda only is the complete treatment
