UNDERSTANDING THE SPRINGHEAD OF
AILMENTS & AGEING
 We experience ailments & premature aging
when:






Body accumulates toxins (Ama).
Body wastes are not efficiently eliminated.
Body organs are not functioning normally.
Body channels are clogged & lack flexibility.
Body has accumulated mental & physical stresses.
Mind is disturbed, emotions are unstable & one lacks
bliss & happiness.

UNDERSTANDING THE SPRINGHEAD OF
AILMENTS & AGEING


In terms of Ayurveda, one is in good health when our
internal environment is in balance:
i) The Vata, Pitta and Kapha are in balance.
ii) The digestive fire is balanced.
iii) The 7 body tissues are functioning normally.
iv) The waste products are produced and eliminated
normally.
v) The mind, Senses and Consciousness are working in
blissful harmony.
When the balance gets Disturbed, Disorder Prevails, Disease and
Premature Ageing sets in

UNDERSTANDING THE SPRINGHEAD OF
AILMENTS & AGEING

The Internal Balance is disturbed by our choice of
external environments:





Diet, incompatible food combinations.
Life styles & Habits.
Seasonal changes.
Environmental pollution.
Stress and anxiety factors.

UNDERSTANDING THE SPRINGHEAD OF AILMENTS
& AGEING

The above External factors disturb:







The Vata, Pitta and Kapha Balance.
VPK imbalance affects Digestive System, which results into
accumulation of Toxins (AMA).
These Toxins enter blood stream that circulates throughout the
body.
Toxins clog the channels (Shrotas) thereby adversely affecting the
energy flow to the body Tissues.
The accumulated Toxicity (AMA) starts affecting:
Vital life energy (Prana).
Immunity (Ojas).
Cell metabolic energy (Tejas).
Resulting into Disease.
Toxins (AMA) are the basic Cause of ill Health and Diseases.
5
UNDERSTANDING THE SPRINGHEAD OF
AILMENTS & AGEING

The body works constantly to cleanse itself of impurities(Toxins).

The body’s self-purifying operations include: Kidneys, Liver, Bowels,
Bladder, Skin and Lungs. These work by collecting impurities and toxins
for being unloaded out of the body.

However, because of the increasing intensity of pollutants and the stress
caused by modern life-styles, the toxins and free-Radicals pile-up faster than
the throughput capacity of the body to discharge them.

This Situation creates disruption of the normal working of body & mind
causing fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and variety of common and
serious ailments, and premature ageing.

PANCHLKARMA REJUVENATION THERAPY
Considering Health, people generally are not aware that
the physiology accumulates different kinds of Toxins in
different seasons.
Before a season ends, such as summer or winter,the
Toxins accumulated during that season must be
eliminated so that the body does not continue with the
Toxins of the previous seasons into the next season.
12
MAHARISHI REJUVENATION THERAPY
There are many other things to do for good Health —
daily routine, proper diet, exercise — but this seasonal
purification is the key to eliminate the basis of disease.
If the accumulated Toxins are released during each
season, more than 70 percent of the diseases will be taken
care of.
