Ayurveda
in Avenue Center Hotel: Ayurveda is basically a humoural medical
system that maintains that there are three essential humours which cause disease
if they become imbalanced. These three humours are usually translated in English
as Wind, Bile and Phlegm. Occasionally in the surgical tradition a fourth humour
- blood - was added. Surgery and physical Ayurveda became two separate traditions,
surgery being more important amongst the Buddhists, who for one reason or another
are less hung up about ritual purity and contact with taboo bodily products
such as blood.
