Term:
Ayurveda
Description:
Holistic system of natural health care that originated in the ancient Vedic civilization of India. According to Ayurveda, the universe is composed of earth, air, fire, water, and space. These interact, giving rise to all that exists. In humans, the five elements occur as these doshas (maintain health), seven dhatus (tissues responsible for sustaining the body), and three malas (waste products; urine, feces, and sweat). Ayurveda considers digestion to be the most important function in the human body and that abnormalities are the principal cause for all disease maladies. A recent revival of Ayurveda, Maharishi Ayurveda, is based on classical text by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and incorporates Transcendental Meditation into the healing process.
