Basics Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is synonymous with Kerala. It is an ancient system of healing which is very popular in this state. Originated in India around 5000 years ago, Ayurveda occupies a prized place in Kerala. The state is blessed with rich flora consisting of rare herbs and natural oils. Apart from this rich flora, Kerala also has salubrious climate and great monsoon which are propitious for the practice of Ayurveda. The term “Ayurveda” is derived from two words—ayus meaning “life principle” and veda refers to a system of “knowledge”.Thus Ayurveda means the “knowledge of life”. Dhanvantari, the physician to the heavenly deities in Hindu mythology, received the knowledge of Ayurveda from Lord Brahma. The first book on Ayurveda was written by Agnivesha in Vedic times. It was named as ' Agnivesh tantra'. Later new additions were made to the text of this book by Charaka and it was renamed as Charaka Samhita. Vagbhata from 7th century is one of the most celebrated writers of Ayurveda.
People from across the globe come to Kerala for various Ayurvedic treatments. Ailments such as arthritis, paralysis, obesity, sinusitis, migraine, premature ageing and skin problems can easily cured by this ancient system of medicine.
The eight branches of Ayurveda are:
Internal Medicine - Kayachikitsa
Pediatrics - Kaumarabhritya Tantra
Psychology/Psychiatry - Bhuta Vidya
Ears, eyes, nose and throat - Shalakya tantra
Surgery - Shalya Tantra
Toxicology - Agada Tantra
Rejuvenation - Rasayana Tantra
Fertility Therapy - Vajikarana Tantra
Ayurveda has its own principles which are entirely different from other systems of medicine. Ayurvedic medicines are prepared from natural herbs. Shamana and Shodhana are the two concepts of treatment in Ayurveda. Shamana means alleviation or making the disease and its symptoms less severe. Whereas Shodhana deals with complete elimination of the basic cause of disease. There are five types of Shodana popularly known as Panchakarma. Panchakarma are vamana, virechana, nasya, basti and raktha mokshana. In Shamana oral medicines are given whereas in Shodana external treatments are given. Shodana karma consists of two poorvakarma for preparing the patient's body for treatment: Snehana and Swedana.

The Secret Of Happiness
The Secret Of Happiness
There once was a very wealthy and successful man. He had more money than he could ever spend and he was admired and looked up to by his community. Still, he knew that something was missing in his life. He wasn’t happy. All his life he had pursued happiness and strived for happiness but had never been able to find it.
Then one day he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret to happiness. He immediately sold all that he owned and set out to find this hidden temple. After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there. He was weary and pennyless, but he knew that none of that mattered now that he had found the temple.
He asked a wise, smiling monk if he could enter the special room. The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room. He climbed them with legs shaking with anticipation and slowly opened the door. He stared into the room with sunlight streaming through the window and saw what he had come so far to find. There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at his reflection in the mirror and laughed.
It is time that we all realized that we are the secret to our own happiness. Happiness is a choice that we make within. God loves us and gives each one of us the ability to fill our lives with love, joy, peace, happiness, and oneness with Him. We need only choose to do so moment by moment and day by day.
It doesn’t matter what our outer circumstances are either, because the Kingdom of Heaven is within us. Don’t spend the rest of your life searching the world for happiness then.
Just look in the mirror and laugh. Just let the happiness flow from your heart, mind, and soul until it fills your life and the lives of all those around you.
