Ayurveda
started more than 5000 years ago. There are glimpses of
Ayurvedic treatments and medicines in various ancient scripts.The
word Ayurveda is derived from two words - Ayu meaning life
and Veda meaning knowledge or science. It literally means
knowledge about life.
The
formation of living organisms is described in the principles
of Ayurveda.The focus is on obtaining a balance among the
Tridhoshas, i.e. Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. Illness is the
result of imbalance of the Tridhoshas.
