The history behind this ancient science
Brahma ji propounded the science of Ayurveda and gave it to Daksh Prajapati. From Daksh Prajapati it was given to Ashvins, and from them to Indra. Till this time this science was confined to the heavens. Towards the end of Satyug, great rishis anticipating the onslaught of disease in coming times, assembled in the valley of Himalayas and it was decided that Rishi Bharadwaj would request for this science from Indra for the benefit of earth dwellers. Thus, Devraj Indra expounded to Rishi Bharadwaj the immortal and sacred science of life consisting of three principles - etiology (the cause), symptomatology, and the knowledge of therapeutics as a means to well-being par excellence, to the healthy as well as diseased
Ayurveda advocates prakriti (nature) to be balance, and vikriti to be disease
Shiriyate iti shareeram
the body is constantly decaying. This process is further accelerated by disease. Ayurveda says, disease is a symptom of an imbalance, the imbalance can be threefold - vata, pitta and kapha. Vat is said to cause 80 kinds of diseases, pitta 40 and kapha 20, but in various permutations and combinations they can take countless forms
