Overall
Fitness (Panchakarma Treatment): A five fold treatment for
mental and physical well being - tunes the body ,organs, mindbreath nerves
and purifies the blood.
Healthy mind is seen only in a healthy body-ayurveda believes.Mental aberrations
can lead to ill health and vice versa. Mind-body relation is well explained
in ayurveda with an example of ghee in a pot.The heat of the pot may conduct
to ghee inside and the heat of the ghee vice versa. Thus any mental aberration
can lead to physical abnormalities and physical problems to mental distortions.
So an ayurvedic doctors has to think always about the patient's mental
status and capabilities. Otherwise all in vain. Thus the holistic approach
of ayurveda is obvious in every part of this system.
According
to Ayuvedic theory, no one can cure
mental diseases permanently but reassuarances, consolation and dietic
treatment with the aid of drugs which have got soothing effect and which
will restore the mental equilibrium will help in correcting the condition.
Ayurveda
is not merely a collection of effective drugs, herbs and remedies, but
is essentially knowledge of the art and science of living which man will
need as long as there is life on earth. A true ayurvedist is not an enemy
of science but only sees in man more than meets the eye.
