Ayurveda offers a unique blend of science and philosophy that balances the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components necessary for holistic health. Ayurveda is not simply a health care system but a form of lifestyle adopted to maintain perfect balance and harmony within the human existence.
Unique Three fold approach of Ayurveda:
1. Preventive approach- Diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, Thyroid diseases etc usually start cropping up at the age of 35-40 yrs, especially if you have a family history of these diseases. Attack of these diseases can be avoided if a healthy individual starts doing Panchakarma therapies at the age of 35-40.
2. Curative approach- With the help of panchakarma therapies diseases like Gout, Arthritis, Spondylitis, Spine related diseases, Hypertension, Complication of Diabetes, Stress, Depression ,Sinusitis ,Sex related diseases ,Kidney diseases etc, can be treated effectively from their root causes.
3. Rejuvenative approach- Aging is an accumulation of damage to cells, tissues and organs of body. If any of that damage can be repaired, the result is rejuvenation. Aging processes and all chronic diseases are result of damage done by free radicals to the body cells .Rejuvenation therapies expel out free radicals from the body thus nourishing all cells ,leading to the reversal of the aging processes. At the age of 60 plus one can feel energy flowing alike much younger person.
Ayurveda emphasizes more on prevention of the diseases. As we know all Chronic diseases starts manifesting at the age of 35-40yrs ,specially if you have a family history of these diseases, That means children of parents with heart or blood vessel diseases may be more likely to develop them.

Even though we can’t change the genetic makeup, but we can reduce the risk by doing Panchakarma (Detoxification) therapies and adopting a healthier lifestyle that includes, diet & Yoga ,according to the body constituent . We can delay the manifestation of these chronic diseases. For example –If an individual has a family history of Diabetes he /she would likely to get Dm in 40’s but if he /she under went panchakarma therapies we can prevent /delay the onset of diseases by 10 yrs.
