Opportunities for CAM researchers

Ayurveda is an ancient system of Indian medicine and has been in practice since 12th Century BC. The objective of Ayurveda is to accomplish physical, mental, social and spiritual wellness by employing preventive, health promoting and holistic approach towards life.

Vata, pitta and kapha are the major dimensions (energy) regulating the entire functioning of the human body. Vata is the energy which strengthens the intellectual ability, respiration and enhances the functioning of sensory organs. Pitta regulates digestion, body temperature, intelligence and memory.

Tarpak kafa provides nutrition to the sensory organs and thus maintains the nervous tissues.Cognitive disorders are mental disorders characterized by impaired cognitive abilities and daily functioning in which biological causation is either known or presumed.
