Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. The term “Ayurveda” is derived from the Sanskrit words “Ayur” (life) and “Veda” (science or knowledge). Thus, Ayurveda translates to “the science of life.” It emphasizes balance in the body’s systems and uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing to achieve and maintain health and wellness.

Ayurveda has gained global recognition for its holistic approach to health and wellness. Many people integrate Ayurvedic practices into their lifestyles for preventive health care and to complement conventional medical treatments.
