 History of Ayurveda |

Ayurveda –The science of life, prevention and longevity is the oldest and most holistic medical system available on the planet today. A system of self-care that originated in India, and the oldest system of health care, dates back 5000 years. Ayurveda is not only the science of preventive health and healing, but also the philosophy of living. It is not merely a system of treating by symptoms; rather curing by removing the cause of malady from the rich legacies left us by Rishis, the holy bards of ancient India. |

The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Ayuh’ meaning Life and ‘Veda’ meaning Knowledge. Hence it is called the “Science of Life“. It traces its roots to the Vedas. It is considered as one of the best alternative system of medicine.

| Ayurvedic Beauty |
|
Besides the skin texture, hair type and body quality, Ayurveda lays accent on the way we move and carry ourselves, the lifestyle we follow, the freshness we emanate etc. Ayurveda does not see beauty as a cosmetic affair. Ayurveda calls for self care and also development of positive routines and rituals that will help bring out the best in us.
A thorough understanding of Ayurveda reveals that it is not merely a medical system dealing with physical symptoms, but a wonderful science that teaches one to attain self realization and attain a permanent state of joy and happiness. This treatment system can cure even diseases for which modern medicine or allopathy doesn't have remedies. |
