According to Ayurveda, the disease process can be summarised simply. The bodily intelligence (doshas) undergoes an increase, by aggravating factors (diet, climate, seasons, lifestyle, emotions, etc.) This causes the weakening of the digestive fire (metabolism), which in turn allows an indigested food mass (called Ama in Sanskrit) to arise. This with increased aggravation of the bodily intelligence can cause Ama (toxins) to accumulate in the various channels of the body, from which it can cause irritation, congestion, and/or inflammation in any weakened site in the body, which the disease then manifests.

It is not far-fetched to say that if we can successfully figure out the root causes of disease, we can use that wisdom to keep it from developing in the first place. And we can imagine that those simple, natural, time-tested methods of preventing disease can also offer hope to those already suffering. With a little common sense, some helpful hints, and diligence, you can protect yourself from developing the disease and even reduce and possibly even reverse its symptoms, if they already exist. Always remember that the power to improve your health lies with you, and you alone. The key here is to support your body to function as it was meant to and use natural remedies to help it self-heal when necessary. The truly amazing thing is that we were born out of nature and nature provides us with everything we need for a healthy disease-free life. We are self-regulating and self-healing.

We have stopped listening to the body’s innate intelligence and instead assault our minds and bodies with lifestyles, chemicals, and foods that have put us on an unnatural path, this is true for the genesis of all diseases.

The dis-ease is unnatural.

Disease is unnatural, illness results when we deviate from a natural way of life. Disease is the occurrence of a toxicity crisis, which is the body’s response to return to a balanced condition called homeostasis.

This healing or toxicity crisis occurs when toxins in the body have reached a certain level of concentration. Toxins are produced internally or externally supplied substances that have detrimental effects on the body’s organ systems, channels of the body, individual organs, tissues, and cells. Toxins may include chemical food additives, environmental pollutants, trapped metabolic waste debris, cellular waste, and poisons generated by destructive bacteria that decompose undigested foods in the gastrointestinal tract.

A dis-ease free life.

Although disease is not part of the body’s design, it has built-in mechanisms and constantly adjusting strategies to heal itself. The word heal is derived from health or wholeness. to heal means to return to wholeness or health.

Symptoms of disease merely indicate that the body is already engaged in healing itself to prevent a potentially life-threatening situation from occurring. Being sick is an indication that the body is doing just that. We fall ill when our immune system is down, that is suppressed, and overburdened with accumulated toxic waste.

The response of the body to this type of extreme congestion is to clear the toxins in several different and usually unpleasant ways. These ways are known as SYMPTOMS.
