Veda Vyasa, the famous sage seems to be the first person, who had written Ayurveda in black and white. As Vyasa had been renowned as an avatar of Vishnu, his writings had focused much more on spiritual healing.
People of the ancient age used to believe that every individual has got his own spiritual power and any could recover by the supplement of additional spiritual power, internally or externally.
If we find an analogy in Quigong, the ancient healing methodology of China, we will find
Quigong Master can send the additional forces to the diseased person even without touching him.
When Ayurveda had started its journey, then the world was not so crowded and people used to believe in spiritual power. Perhaps Ayurveda is the only philosophy, which directly deals with both body and mind (spirit).
Spirit is the aura of individuals which actually interacts with nature and can earn energy from nature. We should not forget that the base of Ayurvedic treatment and medicines lies in water, fire and air.
May be because of compulsion and ego, the sages hardly used to go out for collecting pulps and fruits to prepare a medicine for the ailing person, rather they tried to believe more on spiritual power and ethics for recovery. Remember we are not talking of the day when the world has not become so small to everybody and the visit from one corner to the other required significant time frame. Moreover so many preservatives had not been discovered at that period of time.
The recognition of Ayurveda had been through the treatment methodology of Paracelsus in the sixteenth century, as he has taken a lot from the traditional Indian system, Ayrveda.
In fact Paracelsus, vouched strongly for the theory that the remedy and cause of any diseases remain same.
The father of modern medicine even tried to diminish some the then practices of medications like pills and others and started focusing more on energy of people for remedy. If we want to find out about the belief of Paracelsus, history witnesses that he used to obey the philosophy of self discovery.
If we just go to the root of Ayurveda, we will find the sages used to stress upon spiritual power which comes through self analysis and self realization.
Ideally most of the religions follow the process of self realization as the practice gives you the clear idea about what a person should do and what not.
The meditation process, which as per the old sages, is the way of reaching God through self discovery as the first step to approach to the eternal world.
We are aware that the diagnosis of Ayurveda greatly depends upon the pulse beat of a person. The key focus on pulse bit aims at finding the harmony of the organs at that stage, which largely reflects the lifestyle, he leads. The appropriate sensation of pulse requires a lot of practice and concentration which comes only through a calm and quiet mind set of the physician. The Ayurveda practitioners try to find out the malfunction and applies medicines to the patient to earn that additional power, which he requires to reestablish the synchronization between his body and mind with the external world.
In quigong also the physicians try to analyze the internal imbalance and try to supply medicine to find out a balance between the modes and meridians. The reader must take a note that Ayurveda and Quigong are of same age group and they both originated from the same part of the world, which is eastern Asia. This is needless to remind that the dawn of civilization had haunted this part of the world much ahead of the most aritrocrate countries of today’s modern world.
The very name Ayurved comes from Ayra, which means Life and Veda, which is spell as Science.
So, why not to focus on ayurveda, the five thousand years old healing philosophy, rather than practiced medicines, which have shown the positive result of side effects?
