Ayurveda is most certainly the most ancient of all medical systems. It has its origins in India, and is still the most important form of medicine in the Indian subcontinent; its philosophies are also gaining ground in the West. Despite its antiquity, there are relatively few practitioners, particularly in the UK, due in part to the very length training and the huge complexity of its philosophy and teaching. Classical ayurvedic training is conducted in Sanskrit. Most ayurvedic practitioners tend to be orthodox doctors as well. The word ayurveda comes from Sanskrit and means 'the science of life', the whole aim of ayurveda is prevention. The ancient texts say that the human lifespan should be around 100 years, and that all those years should be lived in total health, both physical and mental, therefore the ayurvedic practitioner is looking to balance the body and mind, find health problems before they occur or arrest them before they do any real harm. It is a complete philosophical and spiritual system, which has over thousands of years become subtle, sophisticated and highly complex. However, the basic tenets are reasonably easy to understand and have changed little over the centuries. The five elements, ether, air, fire, water and earth are the foundations on which the ayurvedic interpretation of all matter and life is based, they are not to be interpreted literally however, each represents different qualities and types of force and energy, as well as some form of physical manifestation. The elements do not act in isolation - three different combinations of the elements, called tridosha, are what form the basis for diagnosis, treatment, cure and health maintenance in ayurvedic medicine. Each individual's constitution is determined by the state of their parents' doshas at the time of conception, and upon birth a person has the levels of the three doshas that are right for them. Life and all its forces can cause the doshas to become unbalanced which can lead to ill health. The duration of a treatment is 1 hour and costs 50 Euros for the first visit and 40 euros for any following visits.
