What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a complete integrated life science that originated as far back as 2000 B.C. Derived from Sanskrit, “Ayurveda· is a compound word that implies two connected ideas –the science of life and the art of living.

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian health science perfected over centuries of research not only to cure ailments but also as a system of imparting knowledge in leading a way of life that helps attain both physical and mental wellness holistically.

It approaches the human being as a whole and advices ways and means of achieving physical, mental and spiritual health. Although this is an ancient life science, it can cure or at the very least control every ailment known to man effectively.

Keen observation and meticulous study of nature in all her diversity down the ages has evolved this life science based on the ancient Indian philosophy of live and let live. It has wide reaching applicability in all walks of life and is an ideal means of living in harmony with nature and oneself.
