AYURVEDIC MEDICINE A HOLISTIC APPROACH INTRODUCTIOIN CONCEPT OF AYURVEDA Ayurveda originated in India long back in pre – vedic period – Regveda and Atherva veda (5000 Years Bc) VEDA UPAVEDA REGVEDA AYURVEDA YAJURVEDA DHANURVEDA VEDA SAMAVEDA GANDHARVA VED ATHARVA VEDA AYURVEDA
These have references on health and diseases. Ayurvedic systems of medicine is one of the oldest systems of medicines, and history of Ayurvedic medicine is as old as history of mankind. The people are well aware about the Ayurvedic medicine in the form of Herbal medicinal use for common ailments as well as in the form of regimen for preventive and promotive aspects of health care. Ayurveda, which has spread to East and West and also contributed to the development of contemporary medicinal science has a holistic approach to man. Literally ‘Ayurveda ‘ is composed of two words viz.
AYU VEDA
Life Science
Science of life WHICH DEALS WITH
SHARIRA BODY INDRIYAS SENSES SATVA MIND ATMA SPIRIT
Based on certain fundamental principles (DHARSHAN) All sciences as :- Physical, Mental, Social, Spiritual, Chemical & Biological WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
About 20 years back, W.H.O adopted Traditional Medicine programme in conjunction with the goal of heath for all with the adoption of primary health care approach, W.H.O has an open mind on Traditional Medicine. However, it endorses only that therapy which has solid scientific evidence with no toxicity, In view of this Ayurveda is duly recognized by W.H.O. Today there is an increasing consciousness of the Ayurvedic medicine all over the world and also with World Heath Organization (WHO) The various measures and devices, practices and methods varied with passage of time, it was naturally felt that there is a need to make available Ayurvedic medicine which not only elaborates on diseases and on the ways of recognizing them but also treating them. TRIDOSHA THEORY Doshas are the biological units of the living body which are responsible for its all function. All the physical and physiochemical processes in the human body and pathogenesis of various diseases and their symptoms are explained by the theory of " DOSHA DHATU MALA MULAM HI SHARIRAM "
THREE DOSHAS SEVEN DHATUS THREE MALAS VITA RASA - PLASMA RAKTA - BLOOD PURISH - FAECES PITTA MANSA - MUSCLE T MUTRA - URINE KAPHA MEDA - ADIPOSE T SWEDA - SWEAT ASTHI - BONE T MAJJA - BONE M SHUKRA-REPRODUCTIVE T
Physiological Basic Structure Of The Excretory Matter & Physio- Body Tissues And Pathological Nourishment activity Tridoshas which embrace the process of creation and evolution of the universe and all the laws of life there in with the function of Metabolism and katabolism SHIRYATE ITI SHARIRAM These are considered to be complementary to each other for the normal functioning of the body, Doshas in a balance state in the body, maintain the internal environment, impart strength and stability to the body, while imbalance state of Doshas gives rise to diseases and unhealthy life. There are rational and scientific fundamental principles to explain the causation of diseases, their prevention as well as cure and the maintenance of positive health. THE OBJECT OF AYURVEDA The object of Ayruveda is to protect the health of the healthy and alleviate disorders in the diseased. Ayurvedic understanding of health is that body heals itself our part in the process is to remove the obstacles or imbalances in the internal environment. Ayurveda emphasizes three principles for healthy life Such as: SWASTHASSYA SWASTHYA RAKSHANAM I ATURASSYA VIKARA PRASHAMANAM CHA II
TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE HEALTHY TO PROMOTE THE STRENGTH AND IMMUNITY IN THE HEALTHY. TO ALLEVIATE DISORDERS IN THE DISEASED.
Thus Ayurvedic systems of medicine plays a significant role in the preventive, promotive and curative health services in the most comprehensive way and presents a close similarity to the WHO's concept of health. DEFINITION OF HEALTHY PERSON (According to Ayurveda) SAMADOSHAHA SAMAGNISHCHA SAMADHATU MALAKRIYA) PRASANNATMENDRIYAMANAH SWASTHAITI ABHIDHIYATE II A person having balance state of :- DOSHAS - HUMOURS AGNIS - DIGESTIVE ENZYMES DHATUS - BODY TISSUES MALAS - EXERETORY SUBSTANCES
ALONG WITH HAPPY STATE OF SENSES, MIND & SPIRIT CONSIDERED TO BE A HEALTHY ONE.

Medicines are employed in the treatment for the purpose of restoring the deranged Doshas and Dhatus to their normal state. Drugs are classified under five properties. RASA : TASTE GUNA : PROPERTY VIRYA : POTENCY VIPAKA : THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY PRABHAVA : ACTION DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT In ayurvedic classics two types of examination for the diagnosis and treatment for the diseases have been mentioned such as method of examination of the patient and examination of the diseases.

Ayurveda epitomizes the philosophy of total health care and naturally the patient as a whole is given considerable importance. The aim of treatment therefore is to improve his vitality to resist against the diseases and to strengthen his immune mechanism so that the disease is automatically prevented or cured. Ayurveda provides rational means of treatments for many internal diseases which are considered to be obstinate and incurable in other systems of medicine in vogue. PANCHKARMA In Ayurvedic systems of medicine "Panchkarma Therapy" has its separate entity which constitutes an important part of the entire therapeutic approach as well as integral part of Ayurveda. Panchkarma therapy has thrown new light on the modern management of diseases and have provided effective weapons against many of them.
