Diseases

a traditional healing system originating from ancient Indian texts, views diseases as imbalances in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—often triggered by poor diet, stress, lifestyle factors, or environmental influences. Kerala's specialized Ayurvedic centers emphasize Panchakarma therapies like Vamana (therapeutic vomiting), Virechana (purgation), Basti (medicated enemas), Nasya (nasal administration), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting) to detoxify the body, alongside herbal remedies, yoga, and dietary adjustments tailored to individual constitutions (Prakriti). These holistic approaches effectively address chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, psoriasis, spinal disorders, digestive issues, and lifestyle diseases like hypertension and obesity, promoting long-term wellness rather than mere symptom relief.
