Traditional Ayurvedic Treatment of Kerala

Ayurveda is a system of medicine where both the physical as well as the Psychological aspects of the disease are borne in mind and the disease is treated. This system which moulds a man’s life is said to have been born with him. Atharva veda gives elaborate description of many plants and their therapeutic uses. Why is Ayurveda which has such a strong ancient background in such a deplorable state today? Can the green herbs which are natures gifts lose their potency? The thought is far from reality. It is a system based on Tridosha Vada. Panchamahabhuta Vada, Dhatuvata, Shadrasa Vada etc. together imbibing the Sankhya, Naiyayika and Vaisheshika philosophies. The Philosophical touch adhered to this system has made unique.
