Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient system of health care that is native to the Indian subcontinent. The word "Ayurveda" is a compound of the word Ayus meaning "life" or "life principle", and the word Veda, which refers to a system of "knowledge". Thus "Ayurveda" roughly translates as the "knowledge of life". Origin of Ayurveda dates back to the period of Vedas, around 3000 BC.
The basic philosophy of Ayurveda is to make people aware of their life style, diet, exercise and mental activities to achieve prefect balance in mind, body and soul. Thus Ayurveda focuses on absolute perfect health and NOT disease whereas the modern medicine stress only on the body and neglects the mind, senses and the soul. Any infirmity in the mind, senses and soul leads to illness in the Ayurvedic definition. more>> |
