AYURVEDA – KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE

The term Ayurveda means knowledge of life and has a spiritual touch about it, as signified by the word Veda which has holy overtones. It was born out of the insights gained by seers like Dhanwanthari who scorned delights and lived laborious days in meditation and contemplation to experiment and explore the causes of the maladies that affect mankind.They sought to bring about all-round happiness and well-being. To them, it was a divine mission and a noble service.

Ayurveda represents a dynamic concept that emphasizes simple living and abstinence from synthetic foodstuffs. A dynamic balance needs to be maintained between food, conduct and thought.
