Ayurveda, the ancient system of health and medicine, introduced the holistic approach to wellness and disease management. It emphasizes understanding the strength of both the disease and the body, the influence of the five elements (panchamahabhuta), body constitution (prakriti), the theory of three doshas (tridosha), daily and seasonal routines, and prescribed rituals for daily life.This science not only elucidates techniques for maintaining good health but also provides comprehensive guidelines for disease prevention. In treatment, Ayurveda advocates Panchakarma (five detox programs), herbal therapies, formulations, specific diets, lifestyle recommendations (what to follow and avoid), and rejuvenation programs to restore vitality.The book "HITHAYU" represents a sincere effort to present these principles in the native language. It promises to be invaluable for Ayurvedic graduates and anyone interested in understanding Ayurvedic concepts, promoting preventive healthcare as a priority over curative measures.
