Ayurveda

आयुर्वेद

Ayurveda — 'the science of life' — is the world's oldest continuously practised system of medicine. For five thousand years it has treated the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — through diet, herbs, yoga, and daily rhythm. Today, the world is rediscovering what Bhārat never forgot.
