BASIC PRINCIPLES - The Body Of Matrix

According to Ayurveda, human body is composed of three body states- Vata, Pitta and Kapha (Tridoshas), seven basic tissues- Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra (Saptadhatus) and the waste products- Shakrit, mutra and Sveda (Mala). Thus the total body matrix consists of Tridoshas, Saptadhatus and Mala. Vata consists of the elements Air and Ether, Pitta includes the elements Fire and water and kapha is characterized by the elements Earth and Water. When the three body states are in perfect harmony, the individual enjoys good health, whereas an imbalance in the body states causes diseases. Ayurveda addresses this state of imbalance through a process of complete healing (i.e. identifying the root cause and eliminating the disease as a whole).

Panchamahabhutas All the objects in the universe including the human body are composed of five basic elements (The Panchamahabhutas) according to Ayurveda. They are Earth, Water, Fire Air and Ether. There is balanced condensations of these elements in different proportions to suit the needs of different structures and functions of the body matrix.

Diagnosis of a Disease In Ayurveda, diagnosis is done of the patient as a whole. The physician studies the patient’s physical and mental disposition and identifies their body type and notes down all the factors that can adversely affect the individual’s health. The treatment consists of avoiding causative factors of disequilibria of the body through the use of medicines, Panchakarma procedures, suitable diet and regimen to prevent or minimize the recurrence of disease. For successful administration of a treatment, four things are essential according to Ayurveda – Physician, Medicaments, Nursing personnel and the Patient itself.

HISTORY OF AYURVEDA Ayurveda has been described in the Vedas, which are considered to have been originated from the Gods, both in theoretical and practical form. Development of Ayurveda in was coeval with the growth and evolution ofn civilization and culture. This medical knowledge has been the work of ages and is the outcome of patient labour of hundreds of scholars spread over thousands of years. It is considered as a sub-division of Atharvaveda (one of the four divisions of Vedas) which contains about 114 hymns/formulations for the treatment of diseases.Ayurveda has now grown into a very comprehensive healthcare system with two major schools of thought and eight specializations, through use of systematic observation and documentation of detailed experiences over the past several thousands of years.

Ayurveda, which started as a magico-religious practice, in course of time matured into a fully developed medical science with eight branches, thus giving the name – Astanga Ayurveda.

The eight branches are as follows:

• Kaya chikitsa (General medicine)
• Bala chikitsa (Paediatrics)
• Graha chikitsa (Psychiatry and Psychology)
• Salakya tantra (ENT and Opthalmology)
• Salya tantra (Surgery)
• Agada tantra (Toxicology)
• Rasayana chikitsa (Anti-ageing and Geriatrics )
• Vajikarana (Eugenics and Aphrodisiacs).
