Ayurveda & it’s benefits to Medical Tourists
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a natural way of curing one's illness. It has been practiced in India for more than 5,000 years. According to Ayurveda, a human body is made up of 5 elements, i.e. air, water, fire, earth and space. Every person consists of these five elements, but in different proportions. Ayurveda further categorizes these dimensions in 3 DOSHAS:
1. Kapha: Relates to water and earth elements
2. Vata: Relates to air and ether elements
3. Pitta: Relates to fire and water elements
According to Ayurveda, whenever there is a disparity between these five elements, a person tends to fall ill, but when these elements are put back together via Ayurvedic treatment, it helps cure ailments.
