2 The Answer: through Ayurveda How can we uplift our Life by Indian system of healing?

3 The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words ayus, meaning life or lifespan, and veda meaning knowledge. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, according to Ayurvedic beliefs, each person has a distinct pattern of energy - a specific combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics What is Ayurveda? (or Real meaning and aim of Ayurveda)

4 AIM The aim of this system is to prevent illness, heal the sick and preserve life. This can be summed up as follows: To protect health and prolong life ("Swasthyas swasthya rakshanam") To eliminate diseases and dysfunctions of the body ("Aturasya vikar prashamanamcha")

5 Ayurveda is based on the premise that the universe is made up of five elements: air,fire, water, earth and ether. These elements are represented in humans by three "doshas", or energies: 1. Vata:- pertains to air and ether elements 2. Pitta :- pertains to fire elements 3. Kapha:- pertains to water and earth elements. 5 elements theory (Body Constitution)
