Alternative & Integrative Medicine

Vedas (knowledge) are the wide variety of holy books arising in India. The Vedas are contemplated as undeniable means of wisdom. There are Four Vedas: The Rigveda, The Yazurveda, The Samaveda, and The Atharveda and all of them are assign to as ‘Chaturveda’. The aim of present research is to find out various traditional methods of food in Vedas how people kept themselves physiologically and immunologically healthy and strengthen. Till now very little researches has been completed on this topic but my current research has been pioneer in concepts of how food and diet plays an important role to maintains the three pillars of supports of life, i.e. diet, sleep and observance of celibacy. Diet plays an effective role in maintain the balance of three main modes of human body i.e. Satvik, Rajasik and Tamasik. Among these four Vedas, Atharveda deals with medicine, sciences and traditional dietary methods. The Ayurveda which accommodates prosperity of wisdom on health and wellness sciences is considered as Upaveda of Atharveda. Rigveda consists of various kinds of dietary methods of preparations. In Ayurveda and Atharveda, diet is mainly contemplated to influence the brain and body. With the belief how to make foods best suited to our physically health as well mentally health, we can exploit nutrition as a source of healing. Diet is the most important part to prolong better health and if the same diet is taken in inappropriate way it becomes the root causes of many diseases.
