THE PANDEMIC TIME- HEAL YOURSELF BY AYURVEDA

Why to choose Ayurveda and how it act on COVID- 19?

Ayurveda – It is an Ancient System of Medicine it is also called as “Science of Life” 

The Ancient Acharya’s undertook several years to study and understand the Sharira or Human body, Manah or Mind, and the Aatma or spirit to get what we experience in modern era as an Ayurveda. 

The vast insight of Acharya’s or Rishi’s into these systems led to a comprehensive body of knowledge that allows us to understand and treat individuals according to their Prakriti or constitution and Dosha imbalances which is a unique feature of Ayurveda. 

There are combinations of nutrition, lifestyle habits, herbs, Panchakarma therapies, Spiritual counseling etc. which is helpful to heal each Person on a deeper level.

Ayurveda treats not just symptoms but it works on the root causes of disease. It also access person’s senses like tastes, smell, sounds, touch, Eye-Sight – and uses the qualities in foods, herbs along with lifestyle as medicine.

Ayurveda helping hand in Pandemic-COVID-19

Ayurveda is the science which is being used since ancient period of time.

The main focus is building up the Ojas, or the strength, vitality and immunity of the body. 

Ayurvedic Doctors are working to help the people to build up the “Ojas” even for the normal person and as well as the diseases. 

The effects of the disease will be negligible if the Ojas is strong. When ojas are weak or weakened, we become susceptible to disease. 

 “ROGA SARVE API MANDAGNI JAYATE”- meaning that the root cause of all the diseases is mandagni or decrease in the digestive fire.

In other words if you have a healthy and strong Digestive system will build up your ojas thus strengthening your immunity and make you healthy.
