PATIENT-My father has cancer of the tongue; he is 75. Doctors have advised surgery. I am worried that surgery at his age may be risky. Is there an alternative therapy which may help?

Arthritis sufferers can find relief in one of the world’s oldest systems of medical care – Ayurveda healing.

Ayurverda is very effective in healing many different medical conditions

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine which is probably the world’s oldest, it’s literature goes back 5000 years and it’s oral tradition goes back even further.

It is a healing system that has been a big part of Indian daily life for more than 5000 years.

The word Ayurveda means the ‘Science of Life’ – s ‘Ayur’ means ‘Life’ and ‘Veda’ means ‘Science’. .

Ayurveda is a medical, metaphysical healing life science – the mother of all healing arts and to people in India, health is a state of spiritual and physical attainment so the two are combined in their system of medicine.

Ayurveda promotes human happiness, health and creative growth as it is the science of daily living and a system of knowledge which evolved from the sage’s practical, philosophical and religious illumination , rooted in their understanding of the creation.

In Ayurvedic study,  body is made up of Tridoshas (Tri’ means ‘Three’ and ‘Doshas’ mean ‘Humours’) – Vata is Air, Pitta is Fire and Kapha is Water. Good health is achieved when everything is normal in the Tridoshas, balance of metabolic, systemic and excretory functions, all five senses and in the mind and spirit.

There are also a number of constitutional doshas that each individual is grouped in.  They include:

• Vata which  is predominant in Old age,
• Pitta in the Middle age and
• Kapha in Childhood.

According to the season, Kapha is predominant early morning, Pitta in the afternoon and Vata late at night. To maintain good health, we must maintain the balance of our doshas, because an imbalance in them is the cause of illness.

Ayurveda healing helps to restore this imbalance without any side effects. It helps heal conditions including liver disorders, strokes, mental and muscular dystrophy, rheumatic and chronic conditions.

Ayurveda helps the healthy person to maintain health and the diseased person to regain health.
