The word Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit words Ayus ‘life’ and Veda ‘science’. Literally translated, Ayurveda is the science of Life. Ayurveda is a collected wisdom of ages and sages and is extremely relevant to today’s world. Ayurveda is, first and foremost, a science of preventative living through the application of accrued wisdom. Ayurveda offers Effective Treatments. Diseases arise as a result of improper Food and Regimen. This result in the derangement of the tri- doshas- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Most ailments, both physical and mental, were attributed to malevolent spirits and cures consisted of rituals, charms, mantras, medicines and surgical intervention.
