Few lines about Ayurveda
Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit Ayurveda means “The science of life”. Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and often called the “Mother of All Healing”. It stems from the ancient vedic culture and was taught for many thousands of years in an oral tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples. The Ayurveda medicine system basically deals with the healing of the medical conditions using the medicinal herbs and medicines prepared using medicinal plants. The Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight diseases. But treatments may be geared towards specific health problems.
