Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine and wellness that originated in the Indian subcontinent. The word “Ayurveda” translates to “the science of life,” derived from two Sanskrit terms: “ayu,” meaning life, and “veda,” meaning knowledge. This holistic discipline addresses the physical, mental, spiritual, and social aspects of existence, focusing on concepts of well-being, balance, health enhancement, and longevity. It emphasizes both the positive, beneficial elements of life and the negative, harmful factors that can impact health.
