Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, made up of the words "ayu" and "veda."
"Ayu" means life and "Veda" means knowledge or science. The term "ayurveda" thus means 'the knowledge of life' or 'the science of life'.

Widely regarded as the oldest form of healthcare in the world, Ayurveda has undergone continuous research, development and refinement over past 5,000 years. Originally from India, Ayurveda is currently experiencing worldwide popularity as a revival sweeps in all continents.

More than simply medical care, Ayurveda offers a philosophy whereby one may prevent unnecessary suffering and live a long, healthy life.
Preferring to focus on the type of person who has the disease, rather than just understanding the type of disease the person has, Ayurveda is a patient-orientated system of healing.

The aim of this system is to prevent illness, heal the sick and preserve life. This can be summed up as follows:

• To protect health and prolong life
• To eliminate diseases and dysfunctions of the body
