             Shadarasa is the word derived through the Sanskrit two words i.e. Shada means six and Rasa which means the taste. Taste is the feeling observed with the tongue, the only organ in the body to feel that sensation.  In Ayurveda there are so many compendiums (samhita) which are practiced till today, but among them all Charaka Samhita, which is written by sage  Charaka  himself mentioned about the Shadarasa in detail at "chapter 26" of "Sutra Sthana".

              Shadadarshana is an Sanskrit term from two small words i.e. Shada (six) and Darshana (vision), So Shadadarshana means as the six vision or insight present during the vedic period. Darshana In vedic period the saints and rishis all used to study the different part of life; from non living to living, from Vastushastra to Jyotishshastra and from Kamasutra to Ayurveda etc. This way of study and looking towards every aspect of life comes, because of the vision in the way of study. Darshana shastras (scriptures) gives an insight towards the desire or urge of humans to know about them and their surroundings. So the Darshana stands for 'vision' or 'the instrument of vision' towards reality of life or also called as perception of Truth. This Darshan is not limited only upto the Veda kala (vedic time period) but also present in todays World.  Darshana bascially means the philosophy of a person in which they taught the understanding of lif...

Among them Panchamahabhoota or Panchabhoota sidhanta (theory) is very common, which plays an very important role in understanding of Ayurveda. Panchamahabhoota or Panchabhoota Panchamahabhoota is an Sanskrit term which is made up of three words i.e. pancha (five), maha (gross/ important) and bhoota (elements). So the terms Panchamahabhoota combinely form the five important elements; why they are called as important?

                                 Ayurveda is very admired alternative medicine, which is accepted by the whole World very nimbly after Yoga. As both Yoga and Ayurveda are science from India which are more than 3000 years old. In Ayurveda the most used thing is Panchakarma, which is the the main treatment protocol in Ayurveda to cure diseases.  Panchakrama as the word originated from the sanskrit which means five procedure and plays the vital role in the Ayurvedic treatment. Beacuse the basic theory for treatment is mainly divided into two i.e.  Shamana & Shodhana. In Shamana that is sanskrit term defined as process of treatment which includes pacification of vitiated doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) at there own place without expelling them out of the body. Whereas Shodhana means the process which not only pacifies the vitiated doshas but also expells them out from the body, which becomes mo...

                   The World Health Oragnisation, WHO was created on February 7th 1948 by United Nations for International public health. Its main objective is to provide highest possible level of health to the people. It seeks and includes: working worldwide for health promotion, world safety and serving the vulnerable. In recents few years WHO come to know about the Traditional medicine or Complementary and Alternative Medicine (TM/CAM).

                                               Ayurveda is Shasvata (endless), it never get out of the world. It is not the science which could be outdated because of its nature. As from Charaka samhita (reknowned literature regarding Ayurveda) its origin is from the mouth of Brahma (God of creation of life), which passes to other Deities than to other Rishi (enlighntened person) through which it finally comes to the bhu loka (earth). Even that lord Brahma teaches the concept of Ayuveda through words only and other got the same information in that form of words only i.e. guru shishya parampara (teacher student manner).  Hence it is not the science which needs experiments, investigations and examination to prove its worth. This is the science which is blend to human race in all the dimensions possible. Ayurveda is...

                                                             Today's world is very much uncertain about the causative factors of illness. In search of that Medical science invest million of dollars, but still unable to get a particular answer about the same. Because the approach towards that is improper. Or we can understand that the approach is not multi dimensional. As diseases are immeasurable which also got increased day by day so the objectives are also innumefrable. But In Ayurveda its not the same they have very superior approach regarding different aspect of life. One among them is about the causative factors of the disease. Charaka samhita is very celebrated scripture of Ayurveda or it is the most accepted literature of Ayurveda in today's generation. As per that there are three causative factor of Disease....

                               Panchakrma is very pouplar term among the people who are seeking the Ayurvedic treatment or willing for holistic health. But moreover they really don't know the real understanding of that.

The Pancha refers to the numerical 5 and Karma refers to the action. Her the Pancha denotes the five division, class and types etc. but the Karma means the action or procedure done to the person to make him/her healthy. Panchakrma so wide in all the dimensions like treatment, area of action, therapeutic action, nature and mode of action etc. but constricted only into 5 types based on there qualities (gunas) and their route.  1. Vamana karma: In this the person is adm...

 It is very popular in Ayurveda culture or in the field of Ayurveda i.e. Ayurveda is Shasvata (immortal). The real meaning of being Shasvata is endless that which never dies. We can understand this concept of endlessness with the story of "shiva" origin.  It is one of the story which is about the origin of Shiva, in Shiva Purana (collection of many compendium over shiva). In that once both Brahma & Vishnu heard a continuous sound of Omkar in the cosmos. They reached near the sound which is in the form of a stream. They asked about its origin and start searching about the same, at the end they both got disappointed for not finding its origin. So that shows the endless form of Shiva (something which has no any starting or end point). At that time Shiva told himself superior to other two Gods (Brahma and Vishnu) and he also mentioned himself as the origin without any shape or shapeless. The time of origin is celebrated as the shivaratri in the whole World especially in India...

                                                                                       One among the ancient science know to the mankind. Origin is particularly unkown, and basically from the Veda (the oldest text known to humans). It is highly scientific and fully practical based on its principles. Because in todays scenario people are unaware of the basic doctrine of Ayurveda, so they called it as Pseudoscience. Which finally creates so many myths about it, like its meaning, origin, area of action, scientific nature, therapeutic uses, connectivity to other sciences, mode of action and branches etc. list is so long.  Here I will make a small step and I try to ease your knowledge regarding the great science of Ayurveda; It is the oldest therapeutic science or easily...
