This oldest medical system not only treats sick people, but also helps the healthy ones by suggesting personalized diet, lifestyle, seasonal regimes, exercise, breathing techniques and many simple natural remedies.
The wisdom of Ayurveda originated more than 5,000 years ago in the Kerala region on the south-eastern coast of the Indian peninsula and is timeless. For millennia it has healed minds, bodies and souls. Foreign rule in India did not foster its development but it has survived and continues to delight today. It has healed millions of people around the world. In the search for a natural and holistic system of healing, Ayurveda was discovered once again. The popularity it has gained proves that it has much to offer to modern people.
The first step has already been taken. Ayurveda is becoming better known worldwide and interest in it is growing. Now it is the time for the next step – to clarify the concepts and principles of traditional Ayurveda recorded in the source texts and communicate them in a modern and comprehensible way, while maintaining their authenticity at the same time.
Nowadays it can be observed that the increasing popularity of Ayurveda has resulted in the commercialisation and sometimes misuse of Ayurveda.
We must uphold this knowledge to ensure that it is taught correctly with an aim to serve humanity.
