What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda means healthy
living along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and
spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine
to contain a sophisticated system of surgery (which is known as "salya-chikitsa").
Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient system of health care that is native to the Indian
subcontinent. It is presently in daily use by millions of people around the world
and day by day it is becoming much more popular because, it does not have any side
effects and it completely heals the disease or its symptoms.
