The fundamental principle of Ayurveda revolves around both holistic as well as pro-host approach.ie. restoring health by synchronization between various body systems and the environment(holistic approach) and strengthening the body defense system to fight infection (pro-host approach).It believes in the healing of not just affected part, but also the entity as a whole. Making it the ordinary way to refresh one, eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and thus recuperate resistance and good physical condition. Followed by the Dravidians and Aryans alike, Ayurveda has been practiced ever since.

Today, it's a sole, indispensable branch of medicine an absolute naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of a body's three fine energies-vata, pitta and kapha-to achieve the right balance .These three Doshas are called the tridoshas. A balance among these life forces is essential for proper health. Any imbalance among the tridoshas causes a state of unhealthiness or disease. Ayurveda has its own views about values and philosophy of life. Ayurvedic system describes man as a universe within himself, which is a child of the cosmic forces. His existence is inextricably tangled to the total cosmic manifestation. Other indispensable concepts of Ayurvedic System are the Saptha Dhathus (the bodily tissues), Srotas (channels), ama (toxins and filthy matter) and the trinity of life -body, mind and spiritual consciousness. The first step in the method of diagnosis in Ayurvedic form of medicine is to determine the constitution of the person. That means it is the patient who is diagnosed first and not the disease.
