Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical practice. The word Ayurveda comes from the two words Ayu meaning life and Veda meaning science. Ayurveda means science of life, and Ayurvedic medicine is a combination of physical, psychological and spiritual therapies. It makes use of the body’s ability to heal itself through alignment of the energy structure that makes the physical body live. It makes use of herbs that stimulate or ameliorate certain essences in the body like the air or nervous system, water or mucuous, and fire or energy. One of the diseases that Ayurveda claims to cure is Leukemia, or cancer of the blood that is believed in Ayurveda to be caused by improper digestion and distribution of essences.
