Description

An ancient system of natural medicine that originated in India, Ayurveda considers each human being in its totality. Considering each person as a specific and particular organism, the ayurvedic tradition individually examines each person's constitution in order to determine that person's most healthy nutrition choices, work habits, and even sleep patterns. It follows also that diagnosis, treatments, and preventative measures are also devised based upon a holistic view of the individual. El Ayurveda, "la ciencia de la larga edad y de la salud," es el más antiguo y famoso sistema indio de medicina natural, y considera al ser humano en su totalidad. Enseña que cada persona posee una constitución específica, que es la que le debe guiar a la hora de escoger el tipo de alimentación, el ritmo de trabajo y la forma de descansar. Por consiguiente, el diagnóstico, la curación y la prevención de enfermedades son contemplados desde el punto de vista holístico.
