As the 21st
Century came near to a start, We find an
increasingly health conscious western searching
for effective alternatives to the rising cost
and unhealthy side effect of modern medicine. In
Sri Lanka ,on the other hand, we have had for
the last couple of millennia a ?user-friendly?
form of traditional medicine called ?AYURVEDA?
that is still practiced throughout the country.
over 75% of island?s population depends on it.
It is and ancient system of medicine which
developed in the Indian sub Continent centuries
before the so-called ?farther of medicine?,
Hippocrates, was born in Europe. The name comes
from two Sanskrit word ayuh (life) and veda
(science or knowledge).It is basically a science
of healthy living and has two aims.
To
preserve health
To cure the body when afflicted by disease
One of the
fundamental belief of Ayurveda is the doctrine
of Tri Dosha or the Three vital Forceces. These
three , vayu, pitha and kapha have been
inaccurately translated in to English as Wind.
Bile and Phlegm there by being confused with the
bodily ?Humorous? of the Greek philosophers.
A more correct interpretation of vayu is the
phenomenon of energy transmission within the
body; in modern medical terms, nerve impulses,
muscle contraction and hormonal activity. Pitta
does not refer simply to bile or even the ?chollericke
humor? mentioned by Shakespeare; rather , it
signifies the whole scope of metabolism and
internal heat production. Kapha means mucus,
often described as ?Protective fluid?. The
relatively modern concept of mucus as an
antibody containing liquid which coats and
protects internal linings of the body, seems to
fit in with Ayurvadic thinking.
When the three
doshas are in normal equilibrium, the body is in
good health. When this equilibrium is disturbed
,when some derangement occurs in the balance of
these complimentary forces, then illness is the
results.
As far as it?s preventive aspects are
concentrated, ayurveda recommends coeds for
healthy living including dietary and
socio-cultural norms. Certain foods are
considered good, while the partaking of others
(such as red meat) is discouraged .Vagitarianism
and consumption of dairy products such as milk
and curd are advocated. Drinking alcohol and
smoking are frowned upon. Basic practices of
hygiene such as drinking boiled water and
washing one?s hands before touching foods are
fundamental.
Ayurvadic
practitioners have their own method of
diagnosing disease , by relying on the five
senses .interrogation of the patient and his
family, inspection, palpation, auscultation,
percussion and observation of smells form the
basis of clinical examination; supplementary
laboratory test and X-rays play no parts in
Ayurvadic diagnosis.
Ayurvedists
maintain that they study the patient as a whole
with the object of restoring normality, while
western medicine specializing merrily attacking
the desease. There is a saying that western
medicine classifies germs and attempts to
destroy them. Ayurvadic medicine claimed to be
non toxic, and is geared top restoring the
body?s natural resistance and immunity.
The first line of treatment for many diseases is
pancha karma or five ?pronged evacuative
therapy.This is design to rid the body of toxins
and is achieved by special diets and herbal
decoctions.
The preparation of
ayurvadic medication is usually a cumbersome and
tedious process. Metals, for example , are
subjected to high temperatures before being
ground with herbal juices in a pestle for a
prescribed period of time.Herbal extracts are
made by boiling parts of plants and then
allowing the resulting liquid to simmer until it
is reduced to a fraction of it?s original
volume.Ghee forms the basis for many
preparations. Besides decoctions, wines,pills
and powders for internal use, ayurveda also uses
poultices, pastes, ointments and oils for
external application.
Ayurvedic Massage Therapy
Ayurvedic massage
therapy generally provide a therapeutic cure, it
does helps the organism to receive nutrient
material from within the body and to expel
toxins.
Certain ailments related to the muscles,
ligaments and nervous system can be completely
healed through good ayurvedic massage therapy.
In diseases caused by deranged vata, massage
therapy can also be the only remedy. In diseases
caused by deranged pitta and kapha, ayurvedic
massage therapy compliments other healing
methods.
In ayurvedic massage therapy, the practitioner
works with the knowledge of the nila or pressure
points. Ayurvedic massage therapy is an ideal
remedy for pain.
Ayurvedic massage therapy can be a real cure in
case of arthritis, rheumatism, neurasthenia,
high or low blood pressure, sciatica, paralysis,
polio and insomnia. In all these cases, the
massage practitioner should however also
prescribe specific medication, changes in daily
habits, exercises, etc..
