Ayurveda or the “science of life” is the Indian medicine on display in the form of treaties from the second century. d.C. until the seventh century. d.C. by three authors: Carata, Sushruta, Vagbhata. The Carakasamita is considered the fundamental text.
Ayurveda offers a holistic model of the human being, that sees man as an inseparable unity of body, mind and spirit. While the spirit is not subject to degeneration, the body and mind may incur imbalances.
The method of diagnosis is the main Ayurvedic physician listening to the wrist. The doctor examines the patient’s wrist a gentle pressure of her fingers, through which he shows the state of equilibrium of doshas. If the beat of the pulse is irregular, there is an excess of vata, if the pulse is hopping means that pitta dosha precedence over the other, and if the heartbeat is too slow there is an increase of kapha.
