The
earliest source of ayurveda is the rigveda. Some of its verses refer to
panchamahabhoota (five basic elements of the entire creation), and the
three doshas or primary forces of life as the founding principles of
ayurveda. The three doshas are prana or vata (air), agni or pitha (fire)
and soma or kapha (water and earth) and the five elements are earth,
water, fire, air and ether.
This science of healing, as mentioned in the rigveda, was revealed to
Rishi Bhardwaja from the great Cosmic Intelligence. The knowledge
consists of three aspects known as the Trisutras of ayurveda, which are
- etiology or the science of the causes of diease, Symptomatology or the
the study and interpretation of symptoms and Medication and herbal
remedies.
The most fascinating aspect of ayurveda is that it uses almost all
methods of healing like lifestyle regimen, yoga, aroma, meditation,
gems, amulets, herbs, diet, astrology, colour and surgery etc. in
treating patients.
