About Ayrveda
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word derived from the roots ayus (life) and veda (knowledge). Knowledge arranged systematically with logic becomes science, and over time, Ayurveda became the science of life. It is the natural healing system of India. According to Ayurveda health is “the harmonious balance of body, mind and environment”. The human body is composed of three fundamental elements called Dosha, Dhatus and Malas.
