5. Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India, which originated there over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda emphasizes re- establishing balance in the body through diet, lifestyle, exercise, and body cleansing, and on the health of the mind, body, and spirit.

6. Contd… The main classical Ayurveda texts begin with accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to sages, and then to human physicians. In Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta’s Compendium), Sushruta wrote that Dhanvantari , Hindu god of Ayurveda, incarnated himself as a mythical king of Varanasi and taught medicine to a group of physicians, including Sushruta. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia. Therapies are typically based on complex herbal compounds, minerals and metal substances (perhaps under the influence of early Indian alchemy or rasa shastra ). Ancient Ayurveda texts also taught surgical techniques, including rhinoplasty , kidney stone extractions , sutures, and the extraction of foreign objects.

Vata body areas are the large intestine, pelvis, bones, skin , ears, and thighs .

14. Aimed at keeping the three humors ( vata,pita and kapha ) in equilibrium and maintenance of seven elements. So proper diet, medicine and a disciplined regimen of life are advised for a healthy living and to restore equilibrium of humors in diseased condition. Saint Thiruvalluvar explains four requisites of successful treatment. These are the patient, the attendant, physician and medicine. When the physician is well-qualified and the other agents possess the necessary qualities, even severe diseases can be cured easily. Treatment is classified into three categories: devamaruthuvum (Divine method); manuda maruthuvum (rational method); and asura maruthuvum (surgical method ).

15. Unani and Tibbi Unani medicine is derived from Arabic Yūnānī "Greek" as the Perso-Arabic system of medicine was in turn based on the teachings of the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen . The Hellenistic origin of Unani medicine is still visible in its being based on the classical four humours : Phlegm (Balgham), Blood (Dam), Yellow bile (Ṣafrā') and Black bile (Saudā') , but it has also been influenced by Indian and Chinese traditional systems.

16. Homeopathic remedies are typically derived from plants, herbs, minerals, or animal products . After being crushed and dissolved in alcohol and/or water, the selected substance undergoes a long process of dilution and succession (a process that involves vigorous shaking of the solution). The solution is then stored . It can be based on the concept that disease can be treated with drugs ( in minute dose ) with which are capable of producing the same symptoms in healthy people as the disease itself. Homeopathy :
