Ayurveda is an ancient science having history of more than 5000 yrs. The principles of Ayurveda has been found very effective & potent as in now days also even if ,they were framed before hundreds of decades. Today, every research in Health science is focused on the remedy/treatment for disease but very little researches are lighting on prevention of diseases.
But fortunately, solid & concrete principles of Ayurveda designed & framed by our Ancient Rhishis & Acharyas like Charak, Shushrut, Vagbhat, Nagarjun etc. Ayurved is only one & unique science in the World that assures the mankind for “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam” first & “Vyadhitasya Vyadi Parimokshanam” secondly, i.e. prevention is better than cure.It is the basic principle that first Vaidya shall try to maintain healthy mankind by Body & mind. So that all the above narrators designed “swasthavrutta palan” i.e. how to behave , what to consume & avoid. Along with this ,they also suggested the time tested “RASAYAN CHIKITSA” which has itself capacity of “Apunarbhav” means minimization or total absence of re-occurrence of the disease .
