Ayurvedic medicine combines natural therapies with a highly personalized approach to the treatment of disease. It practiced in India for the past five thousand years and was called "science of life", which restores the inborn harmony of the individual.

  Deepak Chopra, a Western-trained endocrinologist was one of the first who introduced Ayurvedic medicine to the general reader through a number of popular books. He says that the first question an Ayurvedic physician asks  is "Who is my patient ?" By 'who,' the physician means  "how you are constituted."

 "Constitution" is the keystone of Ayurvedic medicine. It refers to the overall health profile of the individual, including strengths and susceptibilities. The first critical step in the process is the subtle and often intricate identification of a person's constitution. 

  For that, doctors first identify the patient's metabolic body type. A specific treatment plan is then designed to guide the individual back into harmony with his environment, which may include dietary changes, exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, herbal tonics, herbal sweat baths, medicated enemas, and medicated inhalations.
