Ayurveda Education in Mumbai

Ayurveda is a 5000 year old science of health care and herbal treatment. Ayurveda, is highly effective in common and complicated diseases, assures long term relief and has no side effects. Ayurveda is now backed by modern scientific research and technologies and provides its gentle healing touch to millions around the world. Ayurved the traditional medicine of India is not a science artificially enforced upon living beings. Its basis is not in dead or organic chemical matters, or in a mechanistic and materialistic view of the human body. Ayurved is not merely a kind of antiquated traditional medicine. It is a science in its own right. Yet it is a science based upon the observation of living being and their actual reaction to their surroundings. Thus, it classifies not only individuals but also foods, herbs, emotions, climates, and lifestyles in an energetic language that reflects the entire living world around us.

While western medicine has focused upon pathogens and how to control disease from the external, Ayurveda focuses on the individual and how to manage disease throughout balancing the life-force within the individual. As the limitations of antibiotics are becoming evident, such regimes for strengthening our own internal or immune system may be crucial for our health as a species through the coming century.
