While it is commonly accepted that Western medicine had it roots in Greek thought and practice, it has been shown that Greek medicine relied heavily on knowledge from the East ands India. There are those who suggest that Hippocrates, considered to be the father of Western medicine, based his medical knowledge on Ayurved. Ayurved is a science based on detailed theories and principles. These theories explain evolution and define the environment, human beings, and how they relate to each other.

Ayurved considers diet and digestion to be prime factors in good health.A diet which consists of a lot of meat, alcohol, caffeine, processed or frozen foods, fried foods, dairy products and white sugar and flour is very toxic to the system. According to Ayurved, these types of foods produce ama. Ama is a residue that circulates in the body and creates disease.
