Ayurvedic Medicine Employs a Vast Array of Treatments
The human body is a diverse combination of tissues intricately woven together in a delicate balance that must be
respected and honored if it is to be healthy.
Ayurveda is a science of life which treats the person as a whole, and as such,
it treats all the diverse tissues of the body in a way that is both effective and respectful.
Consequently, ayurvedic medicine
employs a vast array of treatments each specially catered to the particular disease and the part of the body in which it is
present.
The delivery of treatment to the right part of the body is very important, as even the herbs with the right
potencies can be ineffectual without proper delivery.
In Ayurveda, the method of delivery, or vehicle, is called the anupana,
and there are a variety of anupanas employed to deliver the power of herbs and minerals to the right places.
Here we will
explore the five basic vehicles, water, raw sugar, ghee, oil, and alcohol.
