This theory has been a part of history for the last
5000 years. The knowledge of Ayurveda was originally
passed on from teacher/Guru to disciple in the form
of one to one lessons without the use of any written
books. Later the knowledge was codified in the form
of books (around 1000 BC). Reference of this science
can also be seen in the Vedas the ancient Indian text
of knowledge.
This eternal science has deep connection with the Indian
philosophies viz. Sankhya, Naya, Vahishesheka, Yoga,
Mimansa and Vedanta. Here the great connection has been
depicted and elaborated as the co-relation between the
universe and man.
It is based on the principles of Pancha Mahabhuta (five
great elements) and Tridosha (three Biological humors)
theory. Ayurveda describes in detail the principles
of preservation and promotion of health as well as prevention
and cure of diseases. It treats man as a whole. As the
medicines used in Ayurveda are only plants, the side
effects are nil.
The science of life and longevity guides us to maintain
the balance in these three biological forces, as the
imbalance in these, according to Ayurveda is the cause
of all the ailments, which mankind is suffering from.
