The
body is a miniature of the Universe. The five
elements ( Pancha maha bhootha) constitute
the Universe, says Ayurveda. In a living being
the Pancha maha bhootha, Manas (Mental States)
and Atma (Soul) are in perfect union. Thus,
well-being of an individual is interpreted
on the basis of the sophisticated theory of
Thri dosha (three doshas), namely, Vata, Pitha
and Kapha. Doshas are entities with a propensity
to vitiate. Their mutual co-existence, if
in a perfect equilibrium denotes Health and
otherwise disease. |

As
a system of medicine, Ayurveda aims to maintain
health and cure disease. The way of life is the key to health,
according to this Science. Hence it advocates a
life of physical, mental and spiritual discipline.
It believes in the innate abilities of nature and
the body to cure itself. The medicines, when required,
are drawn from nature - herbs and plants, animal
and mineral products -which detoxify and gel with
the natural substances of the human body. Thus the
methodology of treatment

promises
the interdependence of various factors of the human
body. In the history of Ayurveda in Kerala, the family
of Thaikkattu Mooss are the torch-bearers of a tradition
of unalloyed treatment. |
They have been the harbingers of a legion of
scholars and scholar-physicians in Ayurveda.
In the folklore of Kerala, there are legends
about their miraculous feats of healing. In
our own times, Sri E.T.Narayanan Mooss, a scion
of this legendary family has been a venerated
figure in the annals of Indian Systems of medicine.
Conferred with the title of " Vaidyaratnam
", E.T.Narayanan Mooss carried the
legacy through his son - E.T. Neelakantan Mooss
-
Shri E.T.Narayanan Mooss the founder
of Vaidyaratnam Oushadasala. |

The
Oushadasala manufactures high quality genuine classical
Ayurvedic products. Sri E.T. Neelakantan Mooss  also established an Ayurvedic Medical College and Research Centre. Government of
India honored his services to the Science of Ayurveda
by awarding one of the highest civilian honors - Padmasree - in 1992. Today these institutions enjoy the highest
reputation in the field of Ayurveda under the able
guidance of Sri E.T. Narayanan Mooss. The lineage
is kept alive by his two sons - Sri Neelakantan Mooss
and Sri Parameswaran Mooss, who are assisting their
father in this noble field. |
