Ayurveda, dating back 5000-10000 years is the oldest and most holistic medical system available on the planet today. The word Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit,
"Ayur" and "veda" which means the Science of life.
People from numerous countries like China, Tibet, Rome, Greece, Egypt, Afghanistan and Persia came to Indian ayurvedic schools to learn about this world of medicine. Many natural
healing systems like Homeopathy, Chinese medicine, Unani medicine, Polarity medicine and the humoral medicine practiced by Hippocrates in Greece have their roots in Ayurveda. For this reason, Ayurveda is often referred to as the
"Mother of all
healing."
Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages maintaining health by paying close attention to balance in one's life through right thinking, diet, lifestyle and use of herbs.
