Ayurveda is an ancient science. It is not just about diagnosing people of their illnesses. It is about leading a healthy and balanced life in mental, physical and divine level. It explains how the air we breathe, the food we eat, the air that we breathe, freshness of nature, fragrance of flowers, beauty of nature, all affect our lives.

Ayurveda is Indian holistic science of dealing with ailments of human body. It is based on the universal law of balancing five elements which are fire, air, earth, ether and water. These five elements make the physical body. Health problems such as low back pain affect the strength and flexibility of spine causing pain, when one of the above stated goes out of balance.

As per Ayurveda, treatment of all sorts of liver ailments concentrates on Pitta dosha and not on liver. Imbalances of Agni and pitta give birth to different types of liver ailments. Ojus is affected too. The Pachaka Pitta is based on liver; therefore all the ailments of liver are treated simultaneously with the treatment of Pachaka Pitta.

Ayurveda is the holistic approach to better health through a natural system that deals with the mind, body and soul. It has been in existence for approximately 5000 years and continues today while getting more popular. Discovering your Ayurveda, or as many others would call it, your Dosha, can be a spiritual awakening. Not spiritual in the religious sense, although it can be incorporated into almost any religion, but in more of a mind, body and soul cleansing kind of way.

To put it in simpler terms, Ayurveda, or Dosha, is kind of like a Constitution. A countries Constitution is made up of laws that are to be followed by the citizens of that society in order to keep things running in harmony and keep things in order. Ayurveda is your bodies Constitution. You set your own rules to live by. While your conscious self must follow the laws of society, your inner consciousness follows the laws of Ayurveda.

You must set some time to be alone each day to get in touch with your inner being. Use this time to cleanse your soul. You will need to learn some meditation techniques that will teach you to relax and become at peace with yourself. This is an important step as it will be the foundation of your Ayurveda, or Dosha.

Noni is a fruit with extraordinary healing properties that people everywhere are now becoming more aware of. It has been used traditionally for over 3,000 years in cultures around the globe from Asia to Polynesia and now onward to the countries of the northern hemisphere.

The list of Noni’s positive health benefits is seemingly endless, and positively amazing. But where does this miraculous, exotic health tonic come from?

Noni grows in many places around the greater pan-Asian region. But originally – even before it’s properties were utilized in Polynesian cultures – the plant came from South Asia.

“Noni” is the common name for Morinda citrifolia, also known as Indian Mulberry.

‘Morinda citrifolia’ is an evergreen shrub ranging in size from a small bush to a tree 20 or 30 feet high. It has rigid, coarse branches which bear dark, oval, glossy leaves.

Life is unpredictable. The Five Elements of Chinese Metaphysics define a physical, mental/emotional and spiritual cycle of dynamic interaction. We can use the cycle to stay healthy and balanced throughout our lives.

We do not experience the five elements in isolation but in interaction with all the others. Some Chinese element manifestations contain flavours of others, as in the idea of the “earthly branches” (meldings of up to three elements in balance) in all forms of Chinese Metaphysics.

In everyday life, the elements are so organized that when one is out of harmony all are influenced. Each one of them changes a small amount to offset any disharmony and consequently we can live happily for years without feeling any effects until, seemingly by surprise, we can find ourselves with a problem.

The roots of unbalanced Elements are not necessarily what they first appear. Unbalanced Water Element (kidneys, teeth, bones, spine etc), by way of example, may well have contributing factors from one or more of the following:

· Metal (parent)
· Wood (child)
· Fire (wife)
· Earth (husband)

You will note from the above list that the five elements are sometimes given family relationships. Like all families, they can get along better at some times than at others.
