ABSTRACT

Ayurveda approaches towards absolute health. It provides the opportunity to live a healthy and long-life span. Ayurveda is a real science of life dealing with all its aspects. Its scope is not narrow and bound into water tight compartments. The Science of Ayurveda includes all that is essential to make a man not only healthy but also happy. It also includes the study of all right conduct (Dharma) which is necessary for the healthy growth of the society in which the man lives. Further, it deals with the philosophical aspect of life, the knowledge of which contributes greatly to the comfort and happiness of human beings. It is not merely a doctrine of medical treatment, but a way of healthy long life. Ayurveda teaches us how to maintain and protect health, how to cure diseases and how to promote longevity. Ayurveda treats man as a whole which is combination of body, mind and soul. It focuses on establishing and maintaining balance of the life energies within us rather than focusing on individual symptoms.
