Healthy state is a natural state and any deviation due to the stress and poor diet will ultimately lead to the disease. There is a direct link between emotional and physical health and ayurveda treats both the body and mind to purify and rejuvenate them for a true balance. Legends say that about 3 million years ago a group of top Indian sages traveled to the Himalayas in search of enlightenment. They wanted to remove all diseases in the world because only those who are physically, mentally and spiritually healthy could attain enlightenment. So, collectively they meditated on how to get rid of the disease and finally the secret of true health and happiness was revealed. These findings have been preserved in the ancient Vedic texts.

Dosha has a special relationship to the functions of the body and can be broken down for different reasons. Dosha is composed of the five basic elements: space, air, fire, water and earth. Practitioners seek to determine dosha and balance doshas through the questions with particular symptoms.Diseases are linked to balance of doshas and the status of the physical and mental factors. Carefully observe the physical characteristics, such as teeth, skin, eyes and weight. Taking the pulse of a person as each dosha is thought to be a particular type of stimulus.

Diet and nutrition are important parts of Ayurvedic practice and so there is a high dependence on treatments based on herbs and plants, spices like turmeric, oils such as sesame oil, and other natural substances.
