Two of the eight branches of classical Ayurveda deal with surgery but contemporary Ayurveda tends to stress attaining vitality by building a healthy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism">metabolic system </a>and maintaining good <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion">digestion </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excretion">excretion </a>.Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga">yoga </a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation">meditation </a>.One type of prescription is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattvic_diet">Sattvic diet </a>.Ayurveda follows the concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinacharya">Dinacharya </a>, which says that natural cycles (waking) are important for health. Hygiene, including regular bathing, cleaning of teeth, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pulling">oil pulling </a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_scraping">tongue scraping </a>, skin care, and eye washing, is also a central practice.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Underwood&Rhodes(2008)-39">[39] </a>

Treatment and prevention

It as well contain keys for recognizing those anomalies and their antidotes.</li><li>Rasāyantantra : <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejuvenation_(aging)">rejuvenation </a>and tonics for increasing lifespan, intellect and strength</li><li>Vājīkaraṇatantra : <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodisiacs">aphrodisiacs </a>and treatments for increasing the volume and viability of semen and sexual pleasure. It also deals with infertility problems (for those hoping to conceive) and spiritual development (transmutation of sexual energy into spiritual energy).</li></ul>

In Ayurveda texts, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosha">Doṣa </a> balance is emphasized, and suppressing natural urges is considered unhealthy and claimed to lead to illness.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-WujastykXVIII-21">[21] </a> Ayurveda treatises describe three elemental doṣas viz. vāta , pitta a nd kapha , and state that balance (Skt. sāmyatva ) of the doṣas results in health, while imbalance (viṣamatva ) results in disease. Ayurveda treatises divide medicine into eight canonical components. Ayurveda practitioners had developed various medicinal preparations and surgical procedures from at least the beginning of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era">common era </a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-shar-hist-22">[22] </a>

Ayurvedic practitioners regard physical existence, mental existence, and personality as their own unique units, with each element being able to influence the others.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify">clarification needed </a> ] This is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holism#Medicine">holistic </a>approach used during diagnosis and therapy, and is a fundamental aspect of Ayurveda. Another part of Ayurvedic treatment says that there are channels (srotas ) which transport fluids, and that the channels can be opened up by massage treatment using oils and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedana">Swedana </a>(fomentation). Unhealthy, or blocked, channels are thought to cause disease.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-WujastykXIX-XX-53">[53] </a>

Practice

and that some of the concepts of Ayurveda have existed from the time of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Valley_Civilization">Indus Valley Civilization </a>or even earlier.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Healingtradition-20">[20] </a> Ayurveda developed significantly during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_period">Vedic period </a>and later some of the non-Vedic systems such as Buddhism and Jainism also developed medical concepts and practices that appear in the classical Ayurveda texts.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Healingtradition-20">[20] </a>

Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-HIML-intro-2">[2] </a> Therapies include medicines, special diets, meditation, yoga, massage, laxatives, enemas, and medical oils.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-11">[11] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-12">[12] </a> Medicines are typically based on complex herbal compounds, minerals, and metal substances (perhaps under the influence of early Indian alchemy or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasa_shastra">rasa shastra </a> ). Ancient Ayurveda texts also taught surgical techniques, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoplasty">rhinoplasty </a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithotomy">kidney stone extractions </a>, sutures, and the extraction of foreign objects.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWujastyk2003a-13">[13] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-mukh-surg-14">[14] </a>

Ayurveda has eight ways to diagnose illness, called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadi_(yoga)">Nadi </a>(pulse), Mootra (urine), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malas_(Ayurveda)">Mala </a>(stool), Jihva (tongue), Shabda (speech), Sparsha (touch), Druk (vision), and Aakruti (appearance).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-54">[54] </a> Ayurvedic practitioners approach diagnosis by using the five senses.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Chopra79-55">[55] </a> For example, hearing is used to observe the condition of breathing and speech.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Underwood&Rhodes(2008)-39">[39] </a> The study of the lethal points or marman marma is of special importance.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-Chopra76-40">[40] </a>

The ayurveda of India.

Plant-based treatments in Ayurveda may be derived from roots, leaves, fruits, bark, or seeds such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardamom">cardamom </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon">cinnamon </a>. In the 19th century, William Dymock and co-authors summarized hundreds of plant-derived medicines along with the uses, microscopic structure, chemical composition, toxicology, prevalent myths and stories, and relation to commerce in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Raj">British India </a>. Animal products used in Ayurveda include milk, bones, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallstone">gallstones </a>. In addition, fats are prescribed both for consumption and for external use.

Substances used

The main classical Ayurveda texts begin with accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the gods to sages, and then to human physicians. In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushruta_Samhita">Sushruta Samhita </a> (Sushruta's Compendium ), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushruta">Sushruta </a>wrote that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhanvantari">Dhanvantari </a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu">Hindu </a>god of Ayurveda, incarnated himself as a king of Varanasi and taught medicine to a group of physicians, including Sushruta.Ayurveda has been adapted for Western consumption, notably by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Hari_Dass">Baba Hari Dass </a>in the 1970s and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharishi_Vedic_Approach_to_Health">Maharishi Ayurveda </a>in the 1980s. Some scholars assert that Ayurveda originated in prehistoric times,

The earliest classical <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit">Sanskrit </a>works on Ayurveda describe medicine as being divided into eight components (Skt. aṅga ).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-26">[26] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-27">[27] </a> This characterization of the physicians' art, "the medicine that has eight components" (Skt. cikitsāyām aṣṭāṅgāyāṃ चिकित्सायामष्टाङ्गायाम्), is first found in the Sanskrit epic the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata">Mahābhārata </a>, c. 4th century BCE.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-28">[28] </a> The components are:<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-29">[29] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-GregoryFields-30">[30] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-31">[31] </a>

The word "ayurveda" is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit_language">Sanskrit </a>: <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A6">आयुर्वेद </a> , Āyurveda , meaning knowledge of life and longevity.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-GregoryFields-30">[30] </a> The central theoretical ideas of Ayurveda developed in the mid-first millennium BCE, and show parallels with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C4%81%E1%B9%85khya">Sāṅkhya </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vai%C5%9Be%E1%B9%A3ika">Vaiśeṣika </a>philosophies, as well as with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism">Buddhism </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism">Jainism </a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-34">[34] </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-35">[35] </a> Balance is emphasized, and suppressing natural urges is considered unhealthy and claimed to lead to illness.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-WujastykXVIII-21">[21] </a> For example, to suppress sneezing is said to potentially give rise to shoulder pain.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-36">[36] </a>

Principles and terminology

There is no good evidence that Ayurveda is effective for treating any disease.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-cruk-23">[23] </a> Ayurvedic preparations have been found to contain <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning">lead </a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_poisoning">mercury </a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_poisoning">arsenic </a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#cite_note-WebMD-24">[24] </a> substances known to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_heavy_metal">harmful to humans </a>.
