What is Ayurvedic medicine?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur” (life) and “veda” (knowledge). Hence Ayurveda translates as “knowledge of life”. Ayurveda is the oldest medical system in the world, and many other medical systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and aromatherapy , have roots in Ayurveda.

This science originated from India. People living in India have relied on traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to help treat everything from infertility to digestive problems.

The goal of Ayurveda is to achieve optimal health and balance by following the laws of nature . When we are aware of the laws of nature, we can adjust our daily routines and behaviors to be in harmony with nature. In fact, Ayurveda improves our physical health and leads us towards the ultimate goal of spiritual realization.

Ayurveda teaches people to take ownership of their health by adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle and following a daily and seasonal routine. The goal in this traditional medicine is not only to cure the disease, but also to maintain health and strive for a perfect balance between the energetic mind and body. In this way, Ayurvedic medicine helps people to live long, healthy and balanced lives, without the need for prescription drugs, complex surgeries or suffering from painful diseases .
