Home Ayurvedic Remedies - Myths and Truths

Believe it or not; mind and matter are very closely related. The body cannot exist without mind and the rhythm of the mind is disturbed when the body is ill. Now, do not confuse the mind with brain. Contrary to the established belief, though brain is vital for functioning, brain is not mind. The spiritual mind is not physical and it does not occupy space, mind does not need nourishments like food but it cannot exist without the body. When the body ceases to function, the mind ceases to exist and dies too.

With such close association of body with mind, can you treat the body without considering the state of mind? The occidental thinking of west relies on medicine that views the body as a conglomeration of physical organs housed in a system that is governed by brain signals; whereas the eastern medicine science views the entity as a spirit a combination of body with mind and treats it as such.

 Nothing can be further from truth, the confusion exists due to the fear in native cultures and therapies that have originated, misinterpreted and doctrine by con people or become obsolete due to discontinuation. Due to prevalent delusions, the science of body and mind is undervalued and the concept of creating balance of the mind and body is overlooked.

However; it is strictly not to be experimented and used without gaining the expertise. You are advised to consult a physician with a professional degree when it comes to illness of severe nature.
