Ayurveda is based on the traditional Hindu system of medicine, which is based on the balance of bodily systems using diet, herbal treatment, aromas, meditation and yogic concepts to address health issues.

Ayurveda is Hindu for 'complete knowledge of the totality of life'individual's consciousness.

According to Ayurveda the human body is composed of four basic fundamentals Dosha(Three humors), Dhathu( seven basic tissues), Mala (Waste products of metabolism) and Agni (Digestive fire). One who is having equilibrium of Dosha (Vata, pitta and Kapha),Agni (digestive fire or metabolic activity), Dhatu (Seven basic tissues), Mala (waste products) and pleasant Atma (consciousness) , Indriya( Sense organs) and Manas ( Mind) is considered to be a healthy person. Disturbances of this equilibrium causes diseases. The three vital principles of Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which together regulate and control the catabolic and anabolic metabolism.
