Ayurveda

Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word meaning "science of life". Ayurvedic knowledge was born in India over 5,000 years ago and is often referred to as the "mother of all healing". It derives from ancient Vedic culture and has been taught to their students in oral traditions by skilled masters for thousands of years. Some of this knowledge was printed thousands of years ago, but much of it is inaccessible. Many of the principles of the natural healing system known in the West today have roots in Ayurveda, such as homeopathy and polarity therapy.
