Ayurveda is an
intricate system of
healing that
originated in India
Thousands of years
ago. We can find
historical evidence
of Ayurveda in the
ancient books of
wisdom known as the
Vedas. In the Rig
Veda, over 60
preparations were
mentioned that could
be used to assist an
individual in
overcoming various
ailments.
The Rig Veda was
written over 6,000
years ago, but
really Ayurveda has
been around even
longer than that.
What we see is that
Ayurveda is more
than just a medical
system. It is a
Science of Life. We
are all part and
parcel of nature.
Just as the animals
and plants live in
harmony with nature
and utilize the Laws
of Nature to create
health and balance
within their beings
we too adhere to
these very same
principles.
Therefore, it is
fair to say that
Ayurveda is a system
that helps maintain
health in a person
by using the
inherent principles
of nature to bring
the individual backs
into equilibrium
with their true
self. In essence
Ayurveda has been in
existence since the
beginning of time
because we have
always been governed
by laws of nature.
