The Ajurveda

What is Ajurveda? In the opinion of the indian people it is the so called science of the life. It was developed thousands of years ago and until nowadays it is the base of the indian medical healthcare. But this discipline is not only used in hospitals to cure sick patients but it’s a fundamental of the outlook of life in this eastern culture. So we can say that it’s an entire system, that gives a daily routine, speaks about alimentation and the importance of being in contact with the nature and last but not at least also deals with astrology.
Ajurveda devides people’s body type in three classes and there are three other body types that lies on the mixture of the first mentioned three types. Each type has a different life style and alimentetion proposal but all of them underline that the human body is the part of the nature. That’s why we shouldn’t eat artifical foods, and we have to take the season and the local food in consideration when we do our everyday shopping. Also harmful for our body, if we for example don’t get up until midday. Indians say that we have to get up with the sun to be capable to follow our body’s natural functions. It’s true, and I’m a proof for this statement. Everyday I can get up between 6 and 7 o’clock without problem. For a while I also changed my eating habits and if I have the chance I also avoid eating meet. For a long time ago I didn’t take any medcine exept my vitamins, and until that time I didn’t have any serious disase or illness. So may be the indians know something…and may be it’s worth to spend some time thinking about what foods do we consume and what we should…
