Ayurvedic treatments vary from the majority of conservative cures in its unique approach towards healing. The belief of treating the sick and not the sickness is central to all forms of ayurvedic treatments. Rather than trying to cure a disease in isolatation, ayurveda takes into account an entity in his entirety.
Having a balanced condition of doshas, agni (digestive fire), dhatus (tissues) normal functioning of waste products, cheerful condition of atman (soul), sensory organs and mind are the symptoms of strong life.
Ayurvedic treatments lay stress on examining the doshas/prakriti or the normal states of individuals before proceeding. The prakriti or the physical constitution, vulnerability to diseases, mental make-up and lifestyle of an person is ascertained in accord to the elemental establishment of the larger prakriti or the universe.
Of course, ayurveda has drawn the most entire picture of human body and the natural world, saying that, the elements of the nature—the Panchamahabhuts: kshit (earth), ap (water), marut(air), tejas (fire), and vyoma (space or ether or akash), are also, the mechanism of human body,which are manifested in three types of physic—kaph (water/earth), pitta (fire), vata (ether/ air).These three types are further documented by ayurveda as tridoshas or the three faults—vata, pitta and kapha irregularities. The smooth performance of the body is hampered owing to the imbalances in the three doshas (prakriti) causing all kinds of diseases.
Ayurveda takes into consideration the body, mind and spirit of an individual as the unit for diagnosis. Hence, it recognizes negative emotions like anger, fear, insecurity, envy and greed as incorrect thinking on the part of an individual. These can directly create an inequity in the doshas. Sattva, or nonviolent equilibrium, rajas, or excessive activity and tamas, or inertia—the three tendencies or gunas of mind influence the imbalances in the three doshas. Hence the mind-body imbalance impairs the creative performance of man.
