Ayurveda and Yoga in Indiaby PriyaAyurveda Ayurveda is the oldest surviving comprehensive medical science in the world. The term is derived from its ancient Sanskrit roots -- 'Ayus' which stands for life and 'Ved' which symbolizes knowledge. Ayurveda offers a rich, comprehensive outlook to a healthy life and its origins go back nearly 5000 years. It was expounded and practiced by the same spiritual rishimunis who laid the foundations of the Vedic civilisation in India by organising the fundamentals of life into proper systems. Ayurvedic treatment does not intend to suppress the main symptoms and create some new ones as side effects of the treatment. The purpose is strengthen your constitution, remove the root cause and give permanent relief.
There are four main approaches to tackling diseases in Ayurveda: The treatment mainly comprises of powders, tablets, medicated oils, etc., prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Because the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body mostly without creating any side effects. On the other hand, there may in fact be some side benefits. Along with medicine, a proper diet, rich in natural fibres, exercise and simple living style is also advised. These are imperative along with the medications. Panch Karma therapy is also used as a treatment in many diseases. This "panchkarma" -- five internal cleansing methods -- is a most profound therapy in Ayurveda. Yoga teaches a very systematic and scientific way of life which is important to pursue both materially and spiritually.
Therefore, Ayurveda is not simply a health care system but a form of lifestyle adopted to maintain perfect balance and harmony within the human existence, from the most abstract transcendental values to the most concrete physiological expressions. It is based on the premise that life represents an intelligent unison of the Atma (Soul), Mana (Mind), Indriya (Senses) and Sharira (Body). India offers world class ayurvedic spas, yoga centres and medical facilities, comparable to any of the western countries. India has state-of-the-art hospitals and well qualified doctors. With the best infrastructure, the best possible medical facilities, accompanied by the most competitive pricing, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.
Medical Treatment in India There is no doubt that the Indian medical industry's main appeal is low-cost treatment. Most estimates claim treatment costs in India start at around a tenth of the price of comparable treatment in America or Britain. For example, in April, Madras Medical Mission, a Chennai-based hospital, successfully conducted a complex heart operation on an 87-year-old American patient at a reported cost of $8,000 (€7,000, £4,850) including the cost of his airfare and a month's stay in the hospital. The patient claimed that a less complex operation in America had earlier cost him $40,000. Other procedures such as diagnostic services offer significant cost-savings. The health care sector in India has witnessed an enormous growth in infrastructure in the private and voluntary sector. The list of India Best Hospitals include Apollo, Fortis, Max Healthcare, Escorts, AIIMs, Wockhardt, etc. A few top Medical tourism providers are TaMedical.com, India4health.com, Mediscapes.com and Indiaheals.com.
