Ayurveda
The term 'Ayurveda' has been taken from the two words-Ayus and Veda. The former means "life", while the letter means "science". Thus it is a science of life that deals with different kinds of diseases and problems. For the diagnosis of a patient Ayurveda uses five elements that include earth, air, water and light. Ayurveda is considered to be one of the oldest medical solutions to cure diseases and promote health. According to historians, it was developed in India almost 5000 years ago.
The Ayurvedic system is based on the ancient wisdom of sages and self learned doctors. It is believed that it is a gift of God confided by Charaka and Shushruta. Ayurvdic medicines are composed of herbs, fruits, vegetables, water and other natural sources. These days they are commonly used to cure diseases such as stress, depression, sexual weakness, diabetics, arthritis, sleep disorder, skin problems and more.
