The word Ayurveda is a combination of "Ayus"- the span of life and "Veda"- the science of life is the knowledge of association of the body, the senses, the mind and the atma (spirit or the soul). It is an Indian system of natural cure. Ayurveda promotes good health and beauty. It cures by eliminating the fundamental causes of diseases. Ayurvedic remedies work by removing toxins from the body.

"The object of Ayurveda", said Susruta the famous physician some 2600 years ago, "is the restoration to health of those who are afflicated with diseases and the preservation of sound health of those who are well." There are no distressing side effects and it has, today, become an internationally acclaimed form of healing, rejuvenation and healthy living.

The Science Of Life
Ayurveda, with its tridosha or three humours system, is able to provide a complete understanding of the cause of health in terms of a metabolic balance. Disease is simply understood as an imbalance between the nerve energy (vata), catabolic fire energy (pita) and anabolic nutritive energy (kapha). Imbalance of the tridoshas leads not only to impaired health, but also to an impaired mental condition, because the mind's health is dependent on the body's health. Ayurvedic treatments are person specific rather than disorder specific. The age of the patient, the climate in which he lives, his cultural and social surroundings, and his bodily constitution, need to be taken into account before offering a prognosis. Touch, inspection, and interrogation are the main tools of diagnosis. Ayurvedic treatment is carried out the internal and external use of herbal medicine in a coordinated or integrated manner, as well as through surgery. Ayurveda's healing regimens have been adapted and refined by people all over the world.
