Dharma is simply the awareness of self and other people as a human being, all living things on the planet and the environment. The definition of Ayurveda is not limited to humans, plants, and animalism but also includes all the natural forces, the earth, the stars, and the entire cosmos. Dharma in Ayurveda is living consciously. Conscious living involves following the laws of nature, proper conduct, having values and duty to self and others, a positive attitude, and an appreciation for the planet earth. Dharma enables individuals to lead a purposeful and positive lifestyle of peace and harmony with self and others. Ayurveda and other integrative healthcare practices can help.
