Ayurveda

[Couch Potatoe]

Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India, originating more than 4,000 years ago. It is based on the theory that illness results from the imbalance of the body’s life force or prana. The balancing of this life force is determined by the equilibrium of the three bodily qualities called doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha. Most people have a dominant dosha, and the specific balance among the three doshas is unique to each person. (See also Overview of Integrative, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine.)
Health care practitioners evaluate people by

Questioning them about symptoms, behavior, and lifestyle
Observing their overall appearance, including the eyes, tongue, and skin
Taking their pulse and checking their urine and stool

After determining the balance of doshas, health care practitioners design a treatment specifically tailored to each person. Ayurveda uses diet, herbs, massage, meditation, yoga, and internal cleansing (therapeutic elimination). Cleansing typically involves injecting fluid into the rectum to cause a bowel movement (an enema) or washing out the nose with water (nasal lavage) to restore balance within the body and with nature.

Another SCAM(So Called [Alternative Medicine]) with hilariously far-fetched claims and based on bullshit-pseudoscience like chakras, that everything is made up of five elements namely earth, air, water, fire and the sky, and magic to back it up instead of actual science. But then again, what do you expect from a medicine system found 5000 years ago when people used to think that the earth was flat and fire was a goddess.
Mostly prevalent in India because people care about ancestral pride more than getting cured of disease.
Modern propagandists include charlatans like [Deepak] [Chopra].
