Ayurveda is ancient knowledge that indicates the very measure of life, advising on the appropriate and inappropriate, happy and sorrowful conditions of living, and recommending practices auspicious for longevity.
The meaning of ‘Ayur’ is life, and ‘Veda’ means knowledge, so Ayurveda means ‘knowledge of the science of life’. Ayurveda was derived from the most cherished scripture of India; the Vedas. The four Vedas are the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda.

History
During the century 500-600 B.C., the sages Agasthya, Charaka, Sushrutha, Kashyapa, and others, systematized the references to illness, disease, health practices and medicines from the Vedas into the Samhitas (Compilations).
It is from the Samhitas that doctors have passed down the authentic knowledge of Ayurveda for preventative and curative approaches to health. A totally comprehensive system; Ayurveda is more than just a healing method – it is an entire philosophy of life.
Philosophy
Ayurveda removes the cause of disease and re-establishes balance to our system through herbal remedies and medicinal massage, as well as Yoga, Meditation and approaches to a spiritual lifestyle. According to Ayurveda, we are composed of three bodies – the physical, astral, causal i.e. the body, mind and soul.
The earth existed billions of years before our arrival, which is estimated to be only three and a half million years ago. As our planet ages, we grow in universal wisdom and come to know the beauty of cosmic magnetism among all life forms.
