Ayurveda is the oldest system of medicine on earth. Its principles are said to have been passed down to humankind from a chain of gods leading back to Brahma, father of all gods. It has been called the 'mother of medicine' and is generally accepted to be the forerunner of all the great healing systems of the world.
Ayurvedic philosophy is incredibly intricate and takes years of study to begin to comprehend. Put at its simplest, it teaches that each atom consists of five elements: its weight comes from earth, its cohesion from water, its energy from fire and its motion from air, while the space between its particles is composed of the five elements and it is thought that an excess of one or more elements can be the cause of imbalance and hence lead to illness.
