Answers:
Most Indians like me incorporate some form of Ayurveda for daily health ailments!. Like other forms of traditional medicine, Ayurveda is based on the theory of "balancing" a body's energy field using a combination of methods including reinvigorating your spiritual capacity!. Herbs and plants are at the core of Ayurvedic medicinal therapies!. They include some of the more familiar plants such as garlic, tulsi, Neem, Turmeric (for cuts and wounds), cloves (for cough and cold)!. Nowadays, there are licensed Ayurvedic practitioners who prescribe formulations (pills, lotions etc!.) in the same state as allopathic medicine!.
Ayurveda is a fool-proof medicinal procedure with the plus point there are no known side-effects!. The application of Ayurveda for complicated health ailments such as fractures, accidents, sexually-transmitted diseases etc!. rests on the spiritual well-being of the patient!. Often, it takes six months or longer for any complicated symptoms attached with these!. One should be "spiritually pure" before going for Ayurvedic treatment procedures!. It is a known fact that Ayruvedic treatment works best on a body which is in tune with Yogic balance of inside fluids!. Some Ayurvedic treatments work better with prayers and spiritual development!.
Many well-known celebrities are relying exclusively on Ayurveda for their overall health-care concerns!. Apart from being the cheapest form of medical care in the whole world, it's also highly reliable!. In India, Ayurvedic courses are today recognized at par with conventional medical therapies!. While even 20 years ago, treatment for Piles (a bowel condition) involved secondary medicine intake, more and more doctors in India recommend Ayruvedic treatment for painless recovery from such conditions!. In ancient India, Ayurveda was also used to perform complicated surgeries and replacement operations!. Today, it's banned by law (in favour of conventional medical treatment)!.
The basic premise of Ayurvedic treatment is based on a person's open-minded willingness to experiment with his/her body!. Also, one should regularize dietary intakes (no meat etc!.) for optimum recovery from ailments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, I'm not an expert with Ayurveda but I found a website with some fascinating information on it!. The author of the website calls Ayuveda 'Medicine of the Gods':
http://www!.cix!.co!.uk/~mandrake/ayurveda!.!.!.!.
''Ayurveda means literally the 'science (Veda) of longevity'!.!.!. It was originally a Hindu medical system and had its beginnings more than two and half thousand years ago in the sixth century before the present era (or if you prefer BC!.)!. Ayurveda soon developed outside of the strictly Hindu community and was taken up and adapted by Buddhists and other religious groups!. It has survived until the present day and is in fact undergoing a renaissance both in India and throughout the western world, which sees it as a necessary compliment to the Clinical model''!.
I collect a magazine that's called 'Mind Body Spirit' which often has articles about Ayurveda and plant based remedies!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is this the practice of drinking one's own urine each morning!?
"Ayurveda and other ancient works on medicinal science have accorded their approval to the drinking of urine as a therapeutic measure!. Ayurveda regards urine as an effective antidote against the harmful confluence of excesses of the three humours!."
Good luck with all that!. Count me out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
