There are four main classifications of management of disease in Ayurveda: shodan, or cleansing; shaman or palliation; rasayana, or rejuvenation; and satvajaya, or mental hygiene.
The treatment mainly comprises of powders, tablets, decoctions, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Since the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body without creating any side effects and on the other hand, there may be some benefits in return.
Ayurveda is centuries old tradition of well being practiced in the Indian subcontinent. With an emphasis on spiritual, psychological and physical gratification it works by not suppressing the main symptoms or creating side effects of the main treatment. It attacks and eliminates the root cause and gives permanent relief.
Along with medicine, proper diet, exercise and living style is also advised. This is equally important to achieve the desired results.
