Ayurveda is an ancient system of knowledge (Veda) of life (Ayur) that originated in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda theory grew out of a deep understanding of creation. The great rishis or seers of ancient India understood creation through deep meditation and other spiritual practices. The sages attempted to reveal the deeper truths of human physiology and health. He observed the basic principles of life, organized them into an elaborate system, and compiled India’s philosophical and spiritual texts called the Vedas of Knowledge. Ayurveda was first recorded in the Vedas, the oldest extant literature in the world. The three most important Vedas, believed to be more than 1200 years old, containing the basic and complete knowledge of Ayurveda, are still in use today. These Ayurvedic teachings were traditionally passed down orally from teacher to student for over 1000 years.

It works to heal the sick, to maintain health in the healthy, and to prevent disease in order to promote quality of life and long life. Health is defined as an experience of bliss/happiness in the soul, mind, and senses and balance of the body’s three governing principles, seven tissues, three wastes, digestion, and other processes such as immune functioning. Health is not the absence of symptoms. Ayurveda has objective ways to assess each of these, pulse assessment being the primary means. Its central tenet is that life is a combination of body, mind, senses, and spirit (more than a mind-body system). Nothing exists but for the pre-existence of and working of a Supreme Intelligence/Consciousness – an elemental, all-powerful, all-pervading spirit-energy that expresses Itself through and in the creation. Ayurveda seeks to know this aspect of life, the subjective (internal) as well as the objective (outer).
Classically, the nature of causative factors is the result of mistakes of the intellect (failure to understand things), inappropriate use of the senses, and mistakes of timing (even doing the right thing at the wrong time). While DNA gives the body a set of instructions, life’s experiences at every moment are perhaps conveying another message to the governing principles. Since these three governing principles are nothing but energy itself, they can be affected by similar or opposite energies – increase or decrease. Heat aggravates Pitta, dryness aggravates Vata, and liquid aggravates Kapha, etc. This imbalance is the constant experience of some stimulus—mental, emotional, or physical, real or imagined—that overwhelms the body’s ability to maintain its identity, its identity.
