Ayurvedic remedies for the whole family [antikvár]

FOREWORDAYURVEDA PRESENTS AN ELABORATE and many-sided approach to the treatment of disease. It begins with a firm assessment of individual constitutional types that considers the entire range of bodily frame and weight, digestive and elimination patterns, immune fiinction, disease history, psychological characteristics and spiritual inclinations. Then it determines the signs, symptoms and development of the particular disease afflicting the person - how it affects bodily organs and systems, activity and mental state, how it is related to environmental stresses, seasonal changes, and emotional imbalances. It determines the signature of the disease in terms of its interacrion with individual constitutional energies - not simply what pathogen may be involved but the unique patterns that the disease manifestation creates within the persons own life, feeling and metabolism.Once these factors are clearly determined Ayurvedic doctors prescribe a diet that addresses both the individual consritudonal needs and the changing particularities of the disease condition. After all, the body is composed of food, so that all treatment must begin with the appropriate dietary regimen to address the body as a whole. Without appropriate changes in foods eaten and in eating habits real healing on a physical level becomes very difficult to sustain. Ayurvedicayurvedic remedies forthe whole familyiIII J/ '
