Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that
originated in India thousands of years ago. We can find historical
evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as Vedas.
Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words. Ayur -
which means life and veda- which
means the knowledge of. To know about life is
Ayurveda.
Ayurveda may come from ancient texts, but these timeless principles
are just as applicable today as they were thousands of years ago.
