Ayurveda-2
It is rightly said that Ayurvedic treatments even cure Karmic diseases. When
a traditional Ayurvedic treatment is given as explained here the individual
changes his thought processes. When the thought processes are changed
actions are changed. Change in actions changes Karma of the individual. Such
is the simple understanding of this great Health science. Disease according
to Ayurveda is an expression of one's karma to be corrected. Physical
disease warrants the attention that the Individual needs to his Awareness to
the next higher level. It is the stepping stone to the next level of
Evolution.
Modern scientific research gives the very logical understanding that the
diseases are caused through defective expression of the genes, which in turn
is influenced by life style of the individual which includes the food eating
habits. Unfortunately Modern science focused only on the body and so
have left it unaware of the deeper implications of the Mind that Ayurveda
explains. We will now go to
the details of the Mind and the Cosmic laws operating at the Universe level
and the Individual level.
The five Pancha Bhoota principles of Expansion, localization,
Interaction, transformation and combinations at the Cosmic level also operate as the
five senses in the body. This is how the individual body is connected to the
Cosmic level. Our sense organs are not mere organs of the body, but the very
tools to experience the Cosmic phenomenon.
The Indriyas (Senses) act as a
bridge between the mind and the physical world outside. Primary cause of
disease is the improper use of the senses, Insufficient sensory inputs and
the emotional imbalance it causes.
Ayurveda understands that it is the nature of the mind that is the root
cause of sufferings and diseases. Hence to settle the mind, it also employs
the use of Yoga and Meditation. Like other Vedic disciplines it also
incorporates spiritual aspect in the individual. A very traditional Ayurvedic Vaidya (doctor) uses pulse diagnosis through which he or she
understands the functioning of the body.
