Ayurveda: The science of life

Ayurveda, the science of life and longevity, is the oldest healthcare system in the world. Sprouted in India some 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is a unique, indispensable branch of medicine, a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of your body’s humours – vata, pitta and kapha – to achieve the right balance. In India, Ayurveda is not just a healthcare system, but it is a part and parcel of every aspect of life. Ayurveda literally means “the knowledge” or “science”.
