Chapter 1

History of Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical science which originated around 3000 BC. Early Ayurveda was alchemy of the East, steeped in as much mysticism as it had scientific basis. Originally passed on from teacher to student by word of mouth, Ayurveda was scripted into ancient Indian texts known as the Vedas. The name Ayurveda is derived from 'Ayur' and 'Veda'. The English translation of ayur is “life”, while Veda is a Sanskrit word which means “knowledge” or “science”.

Elaborately detailed Ayurvedic texts were written in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. Over centuries Ayurveda flourished and was used by rich and poor alike in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

Today this ancient medical science finds new relevance in the modern world - increasingly hostile to its inhabitants. Our modern existence often ignores the principles of natural living and is saturated with pollution, stress and unhealthy lifestyles. In comparison, Ayurveda is quite literally an instruction manual for man's natural & harmonious existence with the environment. Comprehending this natural philosophy of living enables one to become a "self-healer".

Maintaining a balance within the body and mind, and with the external environment, is one of the objectives of Ayurveda. Living in harmony with nature and according to natural principles promotes both physical health and peace of mind. Tuning in to your body's signals of distress in time helps to maintain optimum health, increasing your productivity and contentment. Ayurveda does away with sophisticated equipment or expensive consultants. Maintaining one's health is based on a simple understanding of your body and the quality of food you eat.

Objectives: Ayurveda's primary objective is to maintain one's health while curing of diseases is a secondary objective. Ayurveda seeks to maintain a positive state of health at the outset, achieved on a daily basis through attention to diet and lifestyle. In this manner diseases do not find root for attack or growth.

An Ayurvedic patient is considered a 'purusa', not merely a body. Purusa encompasses the total combination of body, mind, senses and soul. An Ayurvedic doctor must achieve complete health for a patient, not merely suppress or alleviate physical symptoms. From a physician's perspective the basis of Ayurvedic healing is a personal relationship with, and compassion for, the patient. Healing may not be achieved without this personal connection between the patient and physician.
