Ayurveda, the oldest system of medicine in the world, had great impact on medicine worldwide: its translated works around A.D. 400 began to influence the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as the Islamic medicine and other medical systems around the world.
Ayurvedic medicine
is based on the theory that healing, which has to be wholesome, is
contingent on an individual's unique constitutions. Ayurvedic treatments are
based on diet, herbs, and oils designed to meet the individual's health
needs to promote healing. In other words, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach
to healing and health.
An important aspect of Ayurdevic natural
healing is aromatherapy, which
is the use of essential oils from medicinal plants for healing purposes.
According to Ayurveda, plants are "receptacles of light." That is to
say, they receive life energy from the sun, and therefore they can make whole
that which has been damaged or which is incomplete. In Ayurveda, essential oils
extracted from medicinal plants are used for therapeutic treatments because
they provide the life energy necessary for natural healing.
The Ayurvedic healing approach is based on
attaining balance and harmony between your body systems and your constitutions
associated with the basic elements of air, fire, water, and ether (similar to
the Five Elements of
the Chinese medical system; for more information, visit my web page: Chinese
Healing).
Ayurvedic aromatherapy is the use of daily
massage or self-massaging of the body with different essential oils from
medicinal plants to create the balance between your body systems and your
specific constitutions. For example, the loose skin between your toes, the insides
of your nostrils and your ears are all full of reflex areas that respond well
to a few drops of diluted essential oils.
Aromatherapy can relax your muscles, and thus
helping the disease symptoms of myasthenia
gravis.
