The Definition of Ayurveda care Herbal Culture

The word ‘Ayurveda’ in its literal meaning was originally formulated by joining two words being, Ayur meaning life and Veda referring to knowledge (i.e. knowledge of life). In Ayurveda medicine, the process of ayur (life) is considered as a combined state of body (sharira), senses (indriya), psyche (mana) and soul (atma).

Ayurveda health is not only for the physical ailment but also to show you the way of life.

Punarjanma Ayurveda India believes that death takes away the sukshma sharir to the heavenly abode leaving behind the sthoola sharir that decomposes back into its constituent elements, the panchamahabhoota. The sukshma sharir reincarnates (punarjanma) until it attains moksha.

The splitting of the sukshma sharir into indriya, mana and atma after it attains salvation (moksha) follows this life and death cycle. Indriya and mana that originate from the nature, surroundings (prakruti) remerge with the same whereas atma, the image of parmatama merges back into it.

It is also believed by the herbal product studies that the non- attainment of salvation (moksha) after death leads to the combining of the sukshma sharir i.e. the indriya, mana and atma with the new sthoola sharir at the time of shukra shonita sanyoga (fertilization) in the uterus. This combination of sukshma and sthoola sharir occurs in accordance with the karmafala that is to be enjoyed by the new sthoola sharir.

The karma (deeds) of the previous sthoola sharir decide the karmafala of the new sthoola sharir. This is also a core aspect of the herbal remedies’ science which is Ayurveda. It doesn't always happen that the sukshma sharir combines with species of sthoola sharir same as itself.

According to vedic science the sukshma sharir can combine with any of the species among the 8.4 million species that exists. Attainment of moksha is one of the chaturvidh purushartha.

(Four main objectives of life) and the process of splitting and combining of the sukshma sharir with the sthoola sharir continues till moksha is attained. Atma is comparable to god, the creator and is believed to be the almighty.

Once the sukshma sharir and the sthoola sharir have atma attached to it, due to karmafalbandhan all its strength and might is lost and he has to lead this cyclical phase of life according to the karmafala. In ayurveda itself the Sanskrit word ayur has synonyms that possess the same meaning and value as life itself.

Few synonyms are: Dhari The physical properties of the body is sustained (dharna) during life. Jeevita Lively activities are carried out. Nityaga As the time of life is continuously spent. Anubandha As life is possible with the combination (bandhan) of the sukshma and the sthoola sharir. Charak Sootra In ayurveda ayu (life) can be classified as:
