AYURVEDA Ayurveda,is a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life . Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in a person's consciousness, Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, spirit, and the environment.
Principle: The principle of Ayurveda is based on the concept of five basic elements Panchamahabuthas named Prithvi (Earth), Jala (Water), Teja (Fire), Vayu (Air) and Akash (Space/Ether). and tridoshas named as Vata , Pitta and Kapha In addition to these three humors, there exist seven basic tissues ( sapthadhatus )- Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa , Meda, Asthi , Majja and Shukra - and three waste products of the body (mala) such as faeces , urine and sweat. There is a balanced condensation of these elements in different proportions to suit the needs and requirements of different structures and functions of the body matrix and its parts. The growth and development of body matrix depends on its nutrition i.e. on food. The food, in turn, is composed of above elements.
The diagnosis is always done by considering the patient as a whole object to be examined known as ten-fold examination- through which a physician examines the following parameters in the patient- Psychosomatic constitution Disease susceptibility Quality of tissues Body build Anthropometry Adaptability Mental health Digestive powers Exercise Age In addition to this, examination of pulse, urine, stool, tongue, voice and speech, skin, eyes and overall appearance is also carried out
SIDDHA MEDICINE
The term ‘Siddha’ is derived from the root word ‘Siddhi’ which means ‘an object to be attained’ or ‘perfection’. The Siddha system of medicine owes its origin to medicinal ideas and practices of a class of Tamil sages called the Siddhars – ‘perfected’ or ‘holy immortals’. They had firm faith in the ‘deathless’ physical body being in tune with the spiritual immortal ‘soul’, SIDDHA MEDICINE
Basic Human Principles – 96 Thathuvas Five Elements The primordial elements are called panchamahabootham , namely mann (earth), neer (water), thee (fire), kattru (air) and aagayam (space)
Three Humours To regulate the living body easily the five primodial elements were concised into three humours namely vazhi ( vadham or air), azhal ( pittam or heat) and Iyyam ( kapha or cold), When humours are in natural equilibrium and harmony, a person enjoys the best of health. The first one third of one’s life is considered as vazhi period where a person grows physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. The second one third of ones life is considered as azhal period where life is considered to be in the maintenance phase in physiological condition. Finally, the last one third of one’s life is physiologically attributed to Iyyam period or the destructive/senile phase of one life.
Five Sheaths ( Kosham ) The nature of being human encompasses physical and psychological aspects that functions as one holistic system. The kosham system refers to different aspects as layers of subjective experience. They are paruvaudambu – annamayakaosham (food- apparent-physical sheath), valiudmambupranaamayakosham (air-apparent-sheath), manaudambumanomayakosham (mind-apparent sheath), arivudambu – vijnanamayakosham (wisdom-apparent-Intellectual sheath) and inbaudambu – anandamayakosham ( blissaparent sheath).
Ten Pranic Air ( Vayus ) These ancillary vayus are not just responsible for physiological function but also contribute to the psychological and spiritual component. Siddha Therapy :The foremost substance given for an imbalance of three humors or illness is of herbal origin.
HOMEOPATHY The word “Homeopathy” is derived from two Greek words Homois meaning similar and pathos meaning suffering. Homeopathy simply means treating diseases with remedies, prescribed in minute doses, which are capable of producing symptoms similar to the disease when they taken by the healthy people. It is based on the natural law of healing. “Similia Similibus Curantur ” which means “Likes are cured by likes” Homeopathy is a specialized method of drug therapy curing a natural disease by administration of drugs. Homeopathy began in the late 1700s, developed by a German doctor named Samuel Hahnemann.
DIFINATION & MEANING Homoeopathy is a system of treatment (branch of medical science) works on the principle of ‘‘Similia similibus curenter ’ ’Means like cures like, further explanation is that patient & medicine symptoms are similar, it also called LAW OF SIMILA FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF HOMOEOPATHY Law of Similia Law of Simplex Law of Minimum Doctrine of Drug proving Theory of Chronic disease Theory of Vital force Doctrine of Drug-dynamization
Principle The cause of the disease itself can be its treatment i.e. Law of similar. This is the basic principle of homeopathy. According to Hahnemann, diseases are congenital and caused by gene mutations. Toxic or poisonous substances are called Miasms are responsible for gene mutation Miasms are of three types- Psora, Psychosis, Syphilis These exist in a suppressed or sleeping state in a person. As long as they are in that state, the person does not suffer from diseases due to resistance power. If any one of them stimulated, then the person loses his resistance power and suffers from diseases related to it. Therefore, Homeopathy is called a Genetic medicine
Homeopathy In India The World Health Organization (WHO) data suggested that Homeopathy is currently the second largest system of medicine in the world. Homeopathy in India Homeopathy came to India in 1810 when Dr. Johm Martin Honigberger , a French traveler who learnt homeopathy from Dr. Hahnemann, visited India and treated patients. He treated Maharaja Ranjit Sigh, the-then-ruler-of Punjab, with a homeopathic remedy Dulcamara while he suffered from paralysis of the vocal cords. Babu Rajendra LalDutt (1818-1889) may be called the Father of Indian Homeopathy.
UNANI MEDICINE
Unani The Unani System of Medicine has a long and impressive record in India. It was introduced in India by the Arabs and Persians sometime around the eleventh century. Unani name is derived from the word 'Ionian' which originated in Greece. Unani medicine, like any other form of medical science strives to find the best possible ways by which a person can lead a healthy life with the least or zero sickness.
Principles & Concepts According to the basic principles of Unani the body is made up of the four basic elements i . earth, air, water, fire which have different temperaments i.e. cold, hot, wet, dry. After mixing and interaction of four elements a new compound having new temperament existence. i.e Hot wet, hot dry, cold wet, and cold and dry. The body has the simple and compound organs which got their nourishment (The substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition) through four humours i.e. Blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. The humour (put into a good mood) is also assigned temperament as blood is hot and wet, Phlegm is cold and hot, Yellow bile is hot and dry and Black bile is cold and dry.
Phlegm is cold and hot (Thick, sticky, stringy mucus secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as during a cold or other respiratory infection). Yellow bile is hot and dry (A yellow, or greenish, viscid fluid, usually alkaline in reaction, secreted by the liver. It passes into the intestines, where it aids in the digestive) Black bile is cold and dry (a humor that was once believed to be secreted by the kidneys or spleen and to cause sadness) Unani medicine believes in promotion of health, prevention of diseases and cure.
