Introduction
Chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis, asthma, and hypertension have become prevalent due to modern lifestyle choices, stress, and poor dietary habits. While conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, Ayurveda provides a holistic approach to healing by addressing the root cause of diseases. This ancient Indian system of medicine, dating back over 5,000 years, emphasizes natural healing through diet, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and detoxification.
Understanding Chronic Diseases in Ayurveda
Ayurveda categorizes diseases based on the imbalance of the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Chronic diseases usually stem from long-term doshic imbalances and toxin accumulation (Ama) in the body. By restoring dosha equilibrium and eliminating toxins, Ayurveda promotes lasting relief and overall well-being.
