    About this ebook

    Ayurveda, whose literal translation means "science or knowledge of life" is the traditional medical system of India. Its origin dates back to about 5,000 to 10,000 years and is widely considered to be the oldest form of healing in the world. There are five basic elements that shape the Ayurvedic philosophy: air, fire, water, earth and ether. Ayurveda bases its effectiveness on using practical and simple methods of natural origin, without experimenting with animals and relying on the effectiveness of plants. The Ayurvedic treatments are based on the things around us and what we consume as it considers those things closely related to the proper functioning of the human organism.

      INTRODUCTION

      Writing this book has been a life-long project of mine. I am convinced that Ayurveda has unlocked the secrets of longevity and a better life and as such should be shared with the world. I believe that Ayurvedic science has always been mistaken as a holistic method and an esoteric practice which has caused it to be overlooked. However, Ayurveda is not esoteric, and even though it incorporates the holistic aspect of people it is in fact, a science. The science of the equilibrium of life.

      Ayurveda is the science of equilibrium and as such it seeks to treat each element and facet of human life in order to achieve balance, health, happiness and longevity. It is a series of guiding principles for those seeking health and harmony between their mental, physical and spiritual constitutions.

      The wisdom and principles of Ayurveda where not developed in the same way as most sciences. Since it is the oldest medical knowledge of Rishis.  Rishis are Ayurvedic masters who for the past thousands of years have perfected this science of balance and equilibrium. Ayurveda is science through time, using old principles that still apply and discarding those proven ineffective.

      The first written registry of Ayurveda, its principles and collection of scientific knowledge is found on the Vedas, which are sacred ancient Hindu texts, regarded as the oldest written registries in the world. The Vedas are a collection of ancient recorded knowledge from topics like grammar and arithmetic to medicine and philosophy. However, what we understand as Ayurveda nowadays is based on more advanced books and practices.

      The basic premise of Ayurveda is that sickness comes from the lack of harmony that exists between our bodies and the environment. The symptoms and the development of disease is the way that our body communicates the lack of balance and harmony with its surroundings.

      Based on this Ayurvedic concept of the origins and nature
