The teachings of Ayurvedic medicine have consistently been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Intending to ensure the wellbeing of the physical health of a recipient through holistic means, this practice remains strong to this day.
To better understand what can be gained during this practice, it is crucial to understand that this teaching has been in existence for close to 5000 years. These teachings stem from an ancient form of medicine in India that was passed through an oral tradition before it was written up in Sanskrit for the first time. The 'Ayur' portion of the word stands for 'life', while 'Veda' means knowledge or science.
To this day, there are still thousands of people around the world, if not more, actively engaged in the learning and preservation of this millennia-old medical tradition.
When it comes to gleaning a better understanding of what Ayurveda has to offer, there must first be a clear understanding of the basics of this ancient body of knowledge. One of the first principles of this field is that there exist five main elements that govern the world. These elements are namely: air, fire, water, earth and space.
These elements are then complemented by the existence of three dhosha's. These dhosha's e the Vata, Piita and Kahpa.
While there is plenty of depth that can be delved into, this medicinal art consists of trying to balance the elements and dhosha's of the human body to improve health.
The key objective of Ayurveda is to improve the overall quality of life of those who are affected, however, one of the best ways to do so is by ensuring that you understand the role that food will play in your overall wellbeing. The Ayurvedic treatments will take into consideration what kind of food is eaten by an individual and even at what times. It is said that there is large importance in sticking to the prescribed diets during Ayurvedic treatment as straying from this prescription can be harmful as well.
Something that many people seem to enjoy about applying Ayurveda to their lives is that it pushes them to adopt a much healthier lifestyle. This means that they will be recommended to incorporate activities such as meditation and yoga on top of the dietary changes. It will then inevitably guide you down a path to better health.
A great side effect of following Ayurvedic practices is that it is known to reduce the burden of stress that can be felt by an individual at any given time. If you are also seeking Ayurveda treatment in Sri Lanka at an accommodation such as the Heritance Ayurveda then you will get the best of both worlds, with a luxury feel as well as the best healthcare benefits that can be experienced.
