Ayurveda Medicine
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the oldest existing medical system on the planet, the word Ayurveda means the science of life or living. It originated and was practiced in ancient India,Nepal, Tibet and Persia, Ayurveda consists of many healing modalities or systems all rolled into one. Ayurveda uses Herbs, Diet, Massage, Yoga, Meditation, it is probably the most complete and proven form of medicine and life science known to man. Ayurvedic medicine does not divorce the individual from his spirituality and psycological aspirations and fulfillment. Ayurveda has branches of gynecology, psycology and in India-even surgery and alchemy. This is a very brief definition of what ayurveda is and encompasses, as it also encompasses a huge spiritual aspect which is often ignored in modern allopathic medicine.

Beliefs
"The healer who regards kindness to humanity as his supreme religion and treats his patients accordingly, succeeds best in achieving his aims of life and obtains the greatest pleasure." -- from Charaka,honored 2nd century B.C. Ayurvedic Physician
I believe ayurveda is one of the most comprehensive medical systems in existence today, it has incorporated the best of what worked in all the medical systems that have been around in the last 10000 years, I also believe its awesome in the fact that it incorporates things often ignored by modern medicine, like the psyche /spirit of a patient or thier levels of fulfilment in life, and it even provides a comprehensive path to not only physical health but spiritual attainment and fulfilment as well.
