Origin of Ayurveda in Kerala

Origin and Basics of Ayurveda

The origin of Ayurveda is based on the ancient Vedic philosophy of a sound and healthy mind and body which ultimately constitutes to healthy living. The idea here is to treat the whole human body than just treating the symptoms of that particular part of the body. It follows the saying 'prevention is better than cure'.

Ayurveda relies more on preventive medications and advises one, to alter the way of living for disease prevention and better living. Another very interesting fact about Ayurveda is that the medicines or remedies are not common to all. They are prepared according to the suitability of each individual and his/her personality. Therefore, the medicines are not produced in large quantities.

According to Vedic science and its philosophy, there are mainly three elements of the human body known as 'Vata', 'Pitta' and 'Kapha'. They are also called as 'doshas'. One can know from the physical and emotional characteristics of the person which one of the 'doshas' controls the other two. A person can remain healthy only if, these three elements/constituents work with each other harmoniously. When there is an infection in the body, Ayurveda does not try to heal the infection like usual medicines, but it tries to improve the immune system of the body so that it can withstand, cure and prevent the infection.
