All Ayurvedic treatment attempts to establish a balance between the bodily humors. Disease results when these three are out of balance.

According to ayurvedic teaching. The initiation of any form of treatment (whether it be medication, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, allopathy or any other) without first eliminating the toxins in the system that are responsible for the disease, will only push these poisons deeper into the tissues. Symptomatic relief of the disease process may result from superficial treatment. However , the fundamental cause of the illness will not be affected and the problem will therefore manifest again in the same or another form.

There are two types of Ayurvedic treatment: elimination of toxins and neutralization of toxins. These treatments may be applied on both the physical and emotional levels.

Emotional Release

Let us first deal with the emotional or psychological factors. Anger, fear, anxiety, nervousness, jealousy, possessiveness and greed are common human emotions. Yet most people learn in childhood not to express these negative emotions. As a result, one begins at an early age to repress the natural expressions of these feelings. The science of Ayurveda teaches that the individual must release these emotions which, if they remain repressed, will cause imbalances resulting in disease-causing toxins.

The Ayurvedic technique for dealing with negativity is observation and release. For example, when anger appears, one should be completely aware of it; watch this feeling as it unfolds from beginning to end. From this observation, one can learn about the nature of the anger and then let the anger go, release it. All negative emotions may be dealt with in this way. Ayurveda teaches that through awareness all negative emotions can be released.

Fear is associated with vata; anger with pitta; and greed, envy and possessiveness with kapha. If one represses fear, the kidneys will be disturbed; anger , the liver; greed and possessiveness, the heart and spleen.

The Pancha Karma

For numerous ailments such as excess mucus in the chest, bile in the intestine, kapha in the stomach or gas accumulation in the large intestine, physical elimination may be used. For such treatment, Ayurveda suggests pancha karma. These processes are cleansing to the body, mind and emotions. Pancha means "five" and karma means "actions" or "process". The five basic processes are: vomiting; purgatives or laxatives; medicated enemas; nasal administration of medication and purification of the blood.

Ayurveda Nutrition

A balanced diet keeps the humors in Balance. Ayurveda aims to maintain the equilibrium between the life basic element (ether, air, fire, water, earth) which work as three vital forces in our bodies and perform all physical and mental functions.
