The Timeless Tradition And History
Ayurveda is an ancient system of natural medicine that originated in India around 5,000 years ago. The word Ayurveda is derived from two Sanskrit words — ayus, meaning “life” and veda, meaning “knowledge.”
Thus, Ayurveda means “the knowledge of life.” It is based on the belief that each person has a unique mind-body constitution (Prakriti), which affects health and disease.
