Ayurveda originated in the earlier Vedic period, dating back to 2nd millennium BCE,towards the collapse of The Indus valley civilization. It is the oldest known ancient system of healing. The word Aurvedaisderived from the Sanskrit words Ayur meaning life and Veda meaning, Knowledge.
Ayurvedic healing means to achieve the right balance of Body, mind and soul. The human body is governed by 5 elements and 3 Gunas. The balance of the Gunas result in a state called health and the prolonged imbalance of the three Gunas results in the state called disease. The harmonius balance of the three Gunas, Vayu(gases), Pitta (bile) and Kapha(lymph) is essential for maintenance of physical and mental well-being. Ayurveda is the only complete and unique healing system that could diagnose and bring in equilibrium. When there is balance between the Gunas of human body, the system digests properly, breath comes slowly and evenly, work comes easily, growth and development follow their natural and beneficial course.
