#HinduDialogues: Introduction to Ayurveda - A conversation with Dr. Harikumar | #SangamTalks
144Ayurveda is a 3000 years old natural holistic system of Indian medicine. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). It is based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance of the three doshas - Vaat, Pitta and Kapha.
Ayurveda treatment starts with an internal purification process, followed by a special diet, herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. Vaidya Dr. Harikumar of Vaidyarama (Coimbatore) talks about the basic theory of Ayurvedic treatment. Vaidyagrama is a ayurvedic Eco friendly village with learned doctors and therapists.
