While visualizing the term 'Ayurveda', what majority of us comprehend is 'Alternative Medicine' or 'Herbal Therapy’. These terms are however extremely inadequate to describe 'Ayurveda'.

'Ayurveda' is not just herbal (Botanical) medicines or the art of curing diseases. Curing diseases is just a part of it. Broadly speaking, it covers topics ranging from the evolution of the Universe and its basic components, (Panchmahabhoot), the Prakriti (constitution of the body), the self or the Atma to smaller topics like the causes of the diseases, its cures, ways of attaining a state of well-being and promoting health and longevity.

Hence Ayurveda is not just medicines or therapy, it is a very ancient time tested science of life. Promoting health and curing diseases is no doubt, one of its main objectives.

Ayurveda holds a close connection between the nature and the human beings. Changes taking place in the nature are bound to influence the health of the humans. However, adoption of measures in conformity with nature cannot only prevent diseases but also promote health.

The Tridosha Doctrine of Ayurveda has the potential of approaching individuals in health and diseases in the most simple but scientific manner. One simply wonders at the precision with which even the most complex health problems can be explained through various combinations and permutations of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha of the body.

At our institute, we treat various diseases like hypertension, diabetes, digestive disorders, hyperacidity, respiratory problems like bronchial asthma, joint problems, recurrent colds and various others.

From times immemorial, people of the east have been using herbal, mineral and other drugs to treat a number of ailments successfully. But the advent of modern medical science and the long deep slumber of the ancient art has successfully wiped out the realization of the effectiveness of this time tested therapy to an extent that using herbs and other medicines of Ayurveda was considered silly and even dangerous just a few decades ago.

However realization of its usefulness is returning at an unbelievable pace. Not only the laymen but physicians today realize and accept that botanicals and other therapies of Ayurveda can provide volumes of lasting improvement in many cases sometimes even above what conventional medical treatment can achieve. And this usually without the devastating and distressing side effects of many prescribed medicines. The sudden high level of consumer interest however calls for a little caution. Natural medicines or herbs and drugs of Ayurveda may not give optimum results or may cause adverse effects if taken improperly or in excess without the proper guidance of the experts of the science.

‘Mind’ is considered one of the most important components of life and health. It is the mind which governs or determines the health and the disease status of the individual as well as that of the society to a very large extent. It is this approach of the ancient science that makes it holistic. The deep insight in the realm of the mind successfully enables us to manage a large variety of the so called Psychosomatic disorders. Growing mental stress in this exceedingly progressive world of our is known to play an important role in a number of present day ailments like heart diseases, hypertension, allergies, cancer, diabetes etc., the list could be much more lengthy. Yoga and meditation which are integral parts of Ayurveda go a long way in controlling not only these stress borne diseases but other diseases also.
