Ayurvedic assessment of balance and imbalance in insomnia. The Ayurvedic assessment of balance and imbalance does not look at gross physical abnormality and match up drugs to a symptom. This is because people can have the same disease for different reasons. For example, ten people could walk into a doctor's office with a headache and have it for ten different reasons. Likewise not everyone has insomnia for the same reasons.
Ayurvedic diagnosis determines the imbalances in the divisions of the body's inner intelligence.
These underlying imbalances are the root causes of a condition and must be removed if real healing is to occur. By determining the causal imbalances at the basis of a disease Ayurvedic diagnosis helps physicians address the fundamental source of ill health in the individual. According to Maharishi Vedic Medicine the f ollowing general types of imbalances are at the source of most chronic conditions including insomnia. The common modern medical approach to match drugs to symptoms does not completely address many of these factors. As a result moden medicine often cannot fully remove the disease and the condition becomes chronic.
