| Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words:''Ayu'' which means life and
Veda which means the knowledge of. To know about life is Ayurveda
However, to fully comprehend the vast s cope of Ayurveda let us first define "Ayu" or life.
According to the ancient Ayurvedic scholar Charaka, "ayu" is comprised
of four essential parts. The combination of mind, body, senses and the
soul. 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 the Vedas. In the Rig
Veda, over 60 preparatison were mentioned that could be used to assist
an individual in overcoming various ailments. The Rig Veda was written over 6,000 years ago, but really Ayurveda has been around even longer than that. What we see is that A yurveda is more than just a medical system. It is a Science of Life. We are all part and parcel of nature. Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with nature and utilize the Laws of Nature to create health and balance within their beings, we, too, adhere to these very same principles. Therefore, it is fair to say that Ayurveda is a system that helps maintain health in a person by using the inherent principles.
