What is Ayurveda Treatment? What are the benefits of ayurveda treatment?

Ayurveda comprises of two words i.e. Ayu means science and Veda means knowledge. Ayurveda does not believe in removing just the symptoms and creating some side-effects but it believes on curing the root cause of the disease so that it does not occur again and can give a permanent relief.

Ayurveda uses diet, medicine, routine, exercise, yoga, the taking of minerals, and many other cures. The human body consists of four basics:
- Dosha
The catabolic and anabolic metabolism are regulated by three principles of dosha known as vatta, pitta and kapha. The by product of digested foods is carried throughout the body by these three doshas.
- Dhatu
Dhatu provides basic nutrition to the body and helps in the growth and structure of brain.
- Mala
Stool, urine and sweat are the three main types of malas. Malas are the waste products of the body. It is essential to excrete waste products from the body to maintain good health.
- Agni
Agni is defined as various enzymes and all kinds of metabolic and digestive activities take place with the help of agni.

According to Ayurveda, a disease is caused when there is an imbalance of the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The duration to cure a disease through ayurveda depends upon how much chronic is the disease. The benefits of ayurveda includes:
- Ayurveda ensures physical and mental health.
- Ayurveda treatment is non-toxic and non invasive.
- Ayurveda treatments can be stress related, metabolic and chronic conditions.
- Ayurveda is mainly based on herbs, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables and all vegetation.

How to keep laughter flowing in this hectic lifestyle?

Life is complicated and messy and very hectic. Sometimes laugh-out-loud moments are not always accessible but there are some tips that be used to bring laughter in your life.
- One should determine humor profile. Figure out what makes you laugh and do it more often. As different people have different taste in music, in the same manner we also laugh at different things.
- Spend more time with people who make you laugh.
- Invite your friends over to see funny movies together, you will find yourself laughing harder and longer than if you had seen it all by yourself.
- Suppose your car breaks down in the middle of traffic and you have no cell phone or spare tyre, instead of kicking yourself, laugh at your own incompetence. Laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It requires a certain amount of detachment – one can laugh at a situation if you are above it, not within it and with that kind of detachment, you can see things as funny and not frustrating.
- Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. Prefer laughing in such situations as there is less cleaning up to do afterwards.
- Hang around with kids more. Kids are constantly discovering the world around them, and a lot of what goes on seems ridiculous and surprising, which strikes them as funny. Few things which may not seem to be funny to you, but when a child is laughing over something, you will find his spontaneous bubbling contagious.
- Laugh at yourself. Recognize how funny some of your behavior is really, especially your shortcomings and mistakes. Sense of humor is the ability to laugh at oneself. Laughing at others can be hurtful and mean but laughing at yourself in alight hearted way can be a great way to perk yourself up.
- Inject humor anytime it is appropriate as people love to laugh.
- Do not run scared from dark humor as the laughter that arises from such humor is not an insensitive reaction, rather it makes the statement that life is not something to be affirmed ecstatically so much as acknowledged comically.
- A smile is not the same as laughter but they are part of the same family. If you are feeling so low that you cannot remember when you last smiled, know that this could be a warning sign of clinical depression.
