Ayurveda definition
Ayurveda is derived from 2 Sanskrit words namely "Ayus" and "Veda" meaning life and knowledge or science respectively. So the real meaning of the word Ayurveda is "The science of life".
According to Ayurveda life is combination of soul, body, mind and senses. So, in short we could say that Ayurveda is a field of medicine, which not only looks at physical, or body symptoms, but incorporates a comprehensive knowledge about mental, emotional and spiritual health.
The texts of Ayurveda were written between 4000 and 6000 BC. Before that it was passed from teacher to their pupil orally. According to Ayurveda, the five basic elements in nature are, space , air , fire , water , and earth . In our bodies, health is a state when these elements remain completely balanced. Conversely, imbalances lead to disharmony, which ultimately leads to disease.
