Introduction

The principles of the holistic health approach of Ayurveda are universal and everyone who cares for a healthy and happy life can make use of its holistic system. Ayurveda considers a human being as a spiritual soul and therefore it want to re-establish harmony between all of its parts. The Ayurvedic tools to realize this and to avoid sickness are completely natural and almost inexhaustible. The difference between Ayurveda and modern health trends is that the Ayurvedic health approach is understood as a natural and logic result of a spiritual lifestyle. Different means of purification are daily used in Ayurveda, but they serve a higher target. That higher purpose is to balance life by taking care of the optimal functioning of body, mind and environment and to develop higher states of consciousnes.
