What is Ayurveda ?



The word ayurveda has been coined by the conjunction of two Sanskrit words, “ayur” meaning life and “veda” meaning knowledge. The word together means the knowledge of life. In ayurveda the process of ayur is considered as a combined state of body, senses, psyche and soul.

Lord Brahma, the creator according to Hindu mythology created this earth in six days. It included plants, animals and natural resources. But as the time progressed there were lots of miseries on earth and people were suffering with so many diseases. Seeing this Brahma – the creator laid the foundation of ayurveda, which slowly descended to earth.

As Ayurveda has a divine origin, it is considered as holistic science that is blessed by God. Some of the various sages have contributed their whole life in spreading the magic of ayurveda in this world that is suffering from various ailments and sorrows. The main motto behind spreading this divine knowledge was to make people achieve the contended life essential for healthy and peaceful living.

Ayurveda is an ancient holistic system of medicine from India that understands health in terms of a constitutional model. Each of us manifests a mixture of each of the three constitutional energetic forces – or doshas. Its aim is to provide guidance regarding specially designed treatments, food and lifestyle so that health can be optimized and illness healed.
